    I must be silly, when i click 'end date view' they're not in order, eg ending today, followed by tomorrow, next day etc...!? Probably something simple :o

    It's not a perfect button is it.
    Maybe try google eg

    Type in:

    mse " E: 31/01"

    That should show loads for the month end :-)
  • This is my first year of 'intensive' comping. I've entered 175 this month already but am only entering things that I'd use.

    I must be the only person here who enters comps for things I want, and also sometimes for things that I can sell on. But if you think that's wrong, then just consider, if you saw a comp to win a car that you didn't actually want to drive, wouldn't you enter the comp and if you won it, sell it? That's the same thing really - just bigger.

    I don't think it's being greedy. Times are tough at the mo, and every little helps. Besides, I get such a thrill out of winning something, and if I sell it on, then it's an extra thrill when that sells.

    What I don't do though is go in for comps that are clearly meant for someone else. For example, I don't do family holiday comps, because I don't have children. So I don't want to waste 2 spaces, even if I would like the holiday.
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    I only enter comps for prizes I would like to win or that I can pass onto the family - nieces are always raiding the prize box for CDs DVDs makeup etc and if I get a prize no one wants or a runners up prize I don't want, I donate it to my branch of the Cats Protection where I work in my spare time and we use them for tombola prizes to raise funds so nothing goes to waste
    I have been very lucky over the last 3 years as I've won 2 weekends in London and before Christmas my sister and I went to Lucknam Park just outside Bath for a spa weekend
    Just keep entering because you never know when a big win will come your way

    Hi, how do you sort forum by end date? Thanks.

    What I do is go to the bottom of the page and where it says "Display Options" in the green header choose "Sorted By" choose the option "Thread Title" in the next box along "Sort Order" choose "Ascending" in the last box "From The" I leave it on "Beginning"


    Then just scroll through the pages until you find the one with the date you want, eg: today's comps (15/01) start on page 43.

    Hope this helps and that I've explained it well enough. It works for me :)
