    does it really matter, just do your own challenge, i do, I try and hit 1000 comps a month of things i want to win, I highlight the no, colour it and make it big and go on to the next month, my challenge to myself is to try and hit the 1000 each month next year, although its all getting a bit tedious, so might just give it a miss, but its something i do for myself, if i win something i really like its a great bonus.

    Like that idea:)

    that's a good idea :) do you enter 1000 a month from mse
    comps posted or spread them out from elsewhere?
    i never went back to the challenge this year as was to busy & am wary about 'joining' in again on any challenges as just lately finding it hard to keep up entering them.

    I joined last years challenge and was really up for it at the start of the year - but as time went on and I wasn't winning I began to feel as if my sig was taunting me:eek:

    I got so discouraged I had a bit of a break later in the year - now I feel the £2012 in 2012 is more realistic for me although the 'Olympic' prizes are things to aim for:)

    hiya chrissie, have to admit this year has been my best for wins :j big thanks to the comp posters :T:A
    even though most weeks hadn't had time to enter as many as i wanted to, as said before am wary now about joining in 'challenges'

    sending you lots of fairy dust that you reach your aim :A
