Competitions Discussion Thread Part 15

Thanks Glad.

I do click 'Expired' when I come across comps where the end date has passed, it's just that I happened to notice that they'd seemingly ALL been overlooked on that particular day. I know you guys are busy, and I appreciate the hard work! Just trying to be helpful by pointing out something that had been overlooked.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone had a way of searching on facebook to see if they had won any competitions? It seems that not all the pages email you but just mention your name in a status, but I find it hard to keep track. If anyone had a way of searching that's be really helpful

I am amazed at all the people that do things like enter competitions during their working day. I am allowed to access the internet during my lunch break at work, but if I were caught doing something like entering competitions during working hours, I am sure that I would get the sack. I just find it hard to believe that other employers are only now clamping down on stuff like this.

Does anyone know any games like the Bacardi and the Tassimo one where you play a game and win instantly ?

I posted on another thread today explaining how you can search Facebook to see if you've been mentioned in a post. It's post 7 here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3624027. I'll PM you too, in case you don't see this

My employers are not "clamping down on stuff like this". You just can't access the net full stop - not just for comping sites

lol I am too - I don't have time during work to comp - I'm working!

I do check email during my break, but we have a filter which doesn't allow access to certain sites (social networking etc)

Sorry - after I posted it, I thought perhaps I had come across as abrupt. That wasn't my intention. I just never cease to be amazed that on various forums that I go on, people are allowed to be on there at work.

No worries. Compers who comp at work are not 'allowed' to be on there. We snuck on when the boss is away :rotfl:

On a different note, my emails are getting out of control. I had 144,500 yesterday so decided to detox my inbox. I'm now down to 96,660 but even when I'm getting rid of some, new ones are fast rolling in :eek:

Hi

I can't post this on Comps because it has a link specific to me but it is a link to a survey which has a prize draw of £100 vouchers. It is aimed at mums under 24 months about baby shopping and they are particularly looking for mums who shop at Morrisons but you can shop anywhere.

The post is here
