    A tip about entering email comps. Set yourself a page in Word, with your name, address, phone number, and email address on it, and then you can just copy and paste it on to the emails. and then just type in the answer
    Makes life a whole lot easier.
    Roboform is well worth spending half an hour getting used to it. You don't have to use the auto login with it, but just filling your details on to Roboform. You will get a Roboform tool bar, which has a box in with your name on. All you do then is click on that box, and most of the items will be filled in for you on lot of the forms ~ not all, but it saves a heck of a lot of time.

    I still haven't won since restarting comping when i found this site, won a few on Loquaux a few years ago, have only entered on this site and only once per comp. I just enter as many as I can and usually only the ones that i would like to win.

    Its great looking at what others have won and it makes me feel a little more hopeful

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:

    .

    You don't need to faff about copying and pasting, just set up your name and address as a signature in your email programme then it is inserted with a single click. Open the email, type in your answer, click to insert your details and off you go!
    How sweet it is to do nothing..... and then rest afterwards.

    Welcome to the forum Roseogeordo, hope you enjoy it.

    There was a video comp on the BBC website with tickets for the FA cup final, no doubt there'll be others nearer the date (Mirror, Sun, Beer, Sky, Mens Mags, etc etc).

    DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THEM WITH A BARGEPOLE!

    They were locked when we did the boards clean up so that they couldn't be moved. Not sure of any other reasons :D
