    Wingobins the pushchair trader comps are facebook ones so maybe you don't do facebook comps? I've found them all on the forum. They do loads of comps, generally with another company and you have to 'like' their page as well. But you can pay £10 to be a VIP then you don't fill in a comp form each time, and you get 25 entrys instead of 1. I just wondered what view other people take on this. I'm constantly wondering what other people do...do you enter wedding comps if you're not getting married? do you enter kids comps if you're not a kid, do you enter to win golf breaks if you don't fancy the golf but would enjoy the hotel, dinner and spa treatment!!!etc etc Its just curious. Sorry I think too much!

    The wind has dropped now that its knocked my for sale sign down! The sun might be about to make an appearance! Good cos I have to get out of the house and do stuff! Might stop me thinking hahaha!
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!

    Ah right! I do the Facebook comps whatever takes my fancy but I only have one fb profile so don't enter that many. I try and avoid voting comps as I don't like asking for votes but do sometimes vote for others but hate being pestered for them! I tend to enter for things I would really want or would be useful for someone I know though. I don't think I would bother paying a VIP subscription for them though. :)

    Postie just brought a revlon age defying cream :j

    I've never heard of The Pushchair Trader Comps either purple. I mainly just enter for things I really want or want to give to the family. I do enter golf ones if I fancy the hotel! Don't really enter holiday ones as most of them exclude school holidays and can only find baby sitters for a night or two. I did enter one by mistake once and was in a panic when I won as it was a week in Ibiza for 2 but it turned out they offered cash as an option in their t&cs. I never enter anything that costs money either.

    The hol that I won last yr Sheils was meant to be in school hols too! I hadn't read t&c properly when I entered. :o luckily the lady let us go in the may holidays when I explained I worked as a t/a in the school at the time. I hadn't even received the letter to say I won neither! They were good enough to send another out to me so I didn't lose out. :)

    I tend to only enter for family holidays now. Would love another holiday this yr!

    I've just entered everything as the prize would generally be good for someone I know if not me. Its nice to give stuff away. I gave the turkey from my Christmas hamper to the neighbours across the road and it felt nice to do that! I enter comps for all the kids stuff as I'm a Grandma so all nice but I don't like the idea of paying to join anything. You've done well with hols!

    My Gossard underwear arrived this morning, that was the first prize I won when I started comping and the last to arrive! Just glad it has got here safely at last!

    I only enter for things I know I can make use of either for myself or for presents. Dont enter holiday ones much. Will look a bit more at entering for UK breaks this year but hard fr me to get time off work (esp if short notice). I enter the kids prizes ifI know one of the children in the family can use it. Would never pay to be a VIP member for more entries as of it's meant to be it will be. I ocassionally enter a few of the text ones but always make sure I am not adding too much to my bill each month. I comp for me so if it is no use to me I don't enter. Anything that needs a driving licence is also out as I cant drive and OH can't because of his eye problems.
