I just noticed that 4 out of my last 5 wins came on a Thursday. Is that a common lucky day or just for me? What day do most of your wins come on?

Wednesday seems to be my lucky day,with Friday being a close second.

Is there a way around like and share FB comps? I feel like I'm being a nuisance.

"like and share" competitions are rubbish and I don't enter them. People do win them but they, like you say, can annoy your friends, and they also encourage cheating and bad practice by both entrants and the page owners.

They are completely against Facebook Page Rules. The best thing to do is for everybody to contact the companies running these competitions and asking for proper app competitions. If everybody did this rather than just entering anyway then we would see a lot less of these comps, and have proper, fairer ones instead.

Thanks, I'll start doing that. I didn't realise they were against the rules.

Have got the puzzle answers & freebies ready to post but neither of the forms is on the website yet, judging by recent comments of Facebook the site is still having problems and think they may have taken the forms down due to entry issues. Will keep checking but if anyone spots the forms (especially after Monday when I'm back at work), then please PM me, thanks lovelies xxx

I dont know about you lot but i start by doing the competitions with good prizes that i really want,then go back and do DVDS ect... but i do regularly come across competitions with prizes that i dont want (or too much effort) so i leave them to other people however i am finding myself re-reading the same competition several times as i havnt ticked it.(enter button)

I was thinking it maybe handy as you have a thanks button and enter button, how about a skip button? To save time

What do you think?

please leave feedback HERE

I think thats a fab idea, I do the same thing with competitions and think this could save a lot of time especially with the blog ones as I dont really enter them but keep clicking on them when I go back through as I forget what I have already looked at : ) I could just click on enter but I like to keep track of how many comps Ive entered and this would be clear for me to know I dont want to enter it
