    I too enter what I have time for. I have a nice little routine going so I always start with my daily mags, then site dailies, FB dailies etc. If I know I am going to be out for most of the day, I just set my alarm for an hour or so earlier so I can get some comping in beforehand. I do put a lot of time into comping (as I enjoy it as a hobby and love the community members on here!) and I would say I have been pretty lucky :) Still waiting for a big ITV win though! One day.....I just keep calm and carry on comping with a smile!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I've read on here that peeps spend hours completing comps. Thought it would be interesting to hear how many people enter a month.

    I checked mine for 2013 and I entered 121 online. That's 10 a month although it seemed more.

    Needless to say I never won anything.
    Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

    I enter about 10 in 10 minutes! I do around 100 - 200 a day. So that's between 3,000 - 6,000 a month.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    I do loads but don't keep a tally. I think I have entered thousands. I have nearly cleared the boards.

    I do only enter for things I really want & I do all the big ones for cash and holidays, etc but if I have spare time I will do little ones for makeup, wine, blu-rays, etc.

    My reply to this question whenever it's asked is, I have no idea! I don't keep track and I know some days it's a lot, some days not so many.
    Every day I do at least 12 standard dailies, plus mags and click to wins which can vary from as few as 100 a day to as many as 400 or 500 across all sites, depending on what's on offer.


    Standard comps, I'd say a bare minimum of 30 a day on a bad day, to about 100 a day on a good day. Again it depends what's on offer. I don't do Twitter, very few Rafflecopters, don't do anything area-specific as it tends to be London or Scotland. Don't enter holiday comps for 2 or 4 people. Don't do pet related comps, baby stuff, fishing, horse riding, crafts etc. So some pages will literally just be red crossed all the way down. Other times there will be loads I want to enter, it is just all down to what's on offer on any given day.
