Weird thing is a postcard i sent has come back to me, anyone else had this & know why it happens? someone said you don't need to put them in an envelope so i didn't//

Have you read Velvet Glove's Comping Guide? There's advice on practically everything comp related including boomerang postcards -

"To avoid your postcard coming back to you, write the comp address on the right of the card as usual but when you write your details on the left, turn the card around so you are writing sideways, this avoids the automated machinery returning your entry to you by mistake. You can also write your phone number under your post code as that works too."

wise to put them in an envelope instead? so addresses are clearly marked separately too

Not really not only is it waste of an envelope you may also be disqualified if the T&C's state that you should send your entry by postcard

When I used to do the postal comps I used to as per Velvet Gloves advice write my name and address starting from the corner of the envelope diagonally and never had any postcards returned

if you do have postcards returned just pop them back in the postbox 9 times out of ten they usually are not returned the second time

Best of Luck

Good Afternoon and Happy Christmas to all.

I would like to be able to list all the competitions on here by closing date. Say for instance I wanted to enter all the competitions with a closing date of 24/12 how do I do this?

click on sort by title at top of section

I enter by end date and I keep this link in my " Bookmarks"

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72&pp=20&sort=title&order=asc&daysprune=-1&page=125

This takes me directly to page 125 sorted by end date, which is about half way through all the pages. I can easily get to earlier pages by clicking a page at the top or bottom and find the particular date I am looking for.

A big thank you that is exactly what I am looking for.
