Two small wins today :) Might start comping again...

I haven't been around much as of late... Got a bit bored with comping to be honest. But this morning, I received a pair of sparky fishnets from some Lambrini comp that I'd entered (though I don't remember it), and also a Carol Vorderman '101 ways...' book from Teletext. Woo :) Thanks to whoever posted it.

Not sure how much to add to my sig though, as the tights don't have a value :P they're v pretty nevertheless! Maybe I'll start comping again, but take it easy rather than entering 50-zillion/month and tiring myself out!

    I think the tights were off the freebies board and cost £1 to enter I believe.

    Congrats on your wins! :)

    Keep on comping :p

    You do need to pace yourself. I try and post aorund 4 comps a day and enter a mixture of things I fancy. I found that trying to keep up with the comping challenge and newbie's questions, posting around four was enough. I like the chatter as much as the prizes and find talking to people on threads or in pms helps combat boredom. I try not to feel I have to work my way through three pages of back posts if that's what there when I sign on. Its definately the people on this forum that make the whole thing fun for me.

    ^I definitely didn't pay for them... Or if I did, it would've been the price of a stamp, hehe. I think it might have been a NPN postal entry from Loquax now I think about it.



    Thanks for the encouragement all! x
