    Hahah yeah I don't know what happened today - thought I got some great codes, but having been under the leader by only a day or so for several days now, suddenly I'm under by 6 days!! Sigh. Still on the leaderboard, but only just, might be give-up time...!

    Can I ask where you're finding the great codes, are they in London or just from the partner sites? I'm being utterly useless at finding high value codes!

    Also, don't give up! Whilst the names in the leaderboard often appear to be the same ones, it's pretty fluid and you still have a great chance :)

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    Well, thing is, I'm pretty sure the codes do all devalue over time, in real time (maybe?). You can even see it in the ones that change at midnight on the sites (when they WORK! Grrr)

    So there are some that I guess it would cost them too much to change very often, eg tube codes etc, that are for long time values. Eg the tube code TallKiwiGirl - a friend of mine! :) - posted earlier today was for about 3 days. I thought that was pretty great, plus had guessed from the timing of the previous tube code there'd be a new one today, and makes sense they don't want to have to change it over the weekend. (So look for a new tube one on Mon perhaps? A 2-day code to last to the end of the comp?)

    Meanwhile obviously the website ones can be changed more frequently, eg every day, since websites are meant to update constantly anyway, so different ones are more easily available to enter but also the rewards are lower, eg 1 day.

    I've mainly been relying on those, but I happen to not sleep much so I enter them as soon as they go up, which I guess gains me a few extra hours for each over people who enter them at 7/8am? The others I've had have all ended up being posted on here, I believe, at least as far as I've seen - several I've got from here. As far as I know other than the sites I've had a couple of tube ones, a couple of twitter low-value ones, the facebook page ones, and maybe two or three others from random places.

    However, somehow this afternoon in the few hours I was away from the computer people seem to have got two more 3-day codes, perhaps (since it makes sense for the weekend timeframe - Westfield? some magazine?) and so having been an encouraging 1 day behind the leader (whether or not an illusion of closeness, it still feels better!) and in 6th place, I'm now in 16th and 6 days behind, weep weep!! ;P

    Basically esp over this weekend try to get the codes as soon as poss, I guess, since I doubt some of them will change much between now and Monday. And in general although they claim it's all fair, ehh, it is an advantage to be in London and near the new Westfield, haha (which I'm not). If you got the three-day tube code this morning rather than having it handed down to you over gossip and entering it tomorrow morning, that's a full day's loss - it makes a big difference, over eight days.

    HKEE4 from Kiss.com is not ok, in case anyone is confused - you may mean another Kiss outlet, but I just tried that one again and lost another hour, haha, so it's still def not working.

    http://www.totalkiss.com/2011/10/29/in-time-3/ was where HC23Z was from. I got a few hours from it but can't be sure how many and I entered it just after losing the other 2 hours. Obviously they have a big problem somewhere.

    On their facebook page they're showing 9G70I, but only gave 9 hours.
  • They've just posted this code on their facebook page. Says the FHM and KISS codes are displaying incorrectly.
