    It depends really on how picky i am feeling or what mood i'm in

    I would say a minimum of 50 per day. If I've had a long day at work i will probably just enter the ones i really want to win, but if i have more time i will enter others as well (normally books and dvd competitions etc)

    Excluding dailies, I'd say I average about 400-500 a week, I don't include dailies in that cos they're the same comp every day. That probably isn't much compared to a lot of people, but I don't enter for anything & everything, only for things I'd be genuinely made up to win.

    Nowhere near as many as some uber-dedicated compers, that's for sure.

    I only enter a competition if the prize is something I really would like to have/do, or if I know someone who would love the prize.

    So probably less than 100 a week.

    Depends on what I'm up to that day. It can be anything from 0 - 300 a day.
    Some days I don't enter any but then the next day I will catch up and enter hundreds.

    On top of that I do the magazine dailies every day without fail!

    Without dailies i probably enter around 300 at least a day. I only do daily comps once at the beginning because can't be bothered with entering something every day. So over 2000 a week. That isn't entering for 'anything and everything' which lately some people have been accused of doing as though its illegal.

    Actually it got mentioned to me the other day that I had Quality Street in my sig and so must be entering for anything and everything. Quality Street cost around £5 or more for a tin and its all about saving money folks and i happen to like quality street. More importantly it was for a tin full of just strawberry creams :):):)
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)

    I've cut back a lot this year and enter around 100 a day. About 10 daily rafflecopter/blog, 15 daily entry on FB/sites etc and then anything from 40-80 by end date for that day (which is 2 days ahead of that date).

    I get less small wins but still I'm getting a few wins per month.

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
