How do you all do it?

My advice would be to just plug away at it, in other words dont worry about doing all the comps every day just do as many as you can. I sometimes wake before my alarm so do a few then till its time to get up. Then on my days off work Ive got the laptop and iron on at the same time, I iron a few articles then have a rest and do a few comps.

Evenings I do the most, whilst watching all the soaps. Sometimes Im on a roll and do loads other days like today Ive worked this morning, been shopping this afternoon and am now sitting comping watching the Olympics and the Lottery.

I am lucky that I dont need a lot of sleep, so when kids are to bed I start comping whilst watching tv and go to bed quite late, I enter as many as I can but its impossible to do all.

hmmm I know what you mean MRG but form fill and 'the' comps you want to win more so is the way I do it. It can drive you mad, I've just started again after last years advents made me need a 7mth break! Dnt let it get to you and just enter the ones you really want to win.....when you've more time on your hands enter the smaller ones GL

Thanks for all your comments, I definitely do have the comping 'bug', I am just amazed that some of you seem to be able to enter so many in a day. I haven't been using Roboform, I was just using the auto-fill on Chrome but after having problems with Chrome recently, I have switched to Opera and don't find the auto-fill as good (although everything else seems much better so far) so I will have to give Roboform a try.

It's interesting PURPLESKULL to read how you get through so many. I may have to think about setting up a Twitter account.

Keep your chin up girly, theres hope for anyone no matter how little (in number) comps they enter, I used to be manic, had to enter every comp I found, this year I gave it all up tho, I now maybe enter 5 comps a week if that, and I've just managed to win 4k

so don't lose heart and just keep entering what you can, good luck!

I do about 25 dailies, and then do them by end date, doing one day at a time. At the moment I am up to the 29th.

I wake up before the kids and hubby and so can get all my dailies done then and then I'll check what new comps for have come on that end today and tomorrow and do those and then go back to my end date comping.

I do about an hour here and an hour there and can do about 300 a day when I get going.

I guess am lucky cos kids are not fussy and don't really bother if I sit down with a laptop and my hubby works evenings so when he's at work and the kids are asleep I have 3 hours uninterupted.

Hello .

I was a comper a couple of years ago but never used this place. I subscribed to a comping mag and joined a comping forum somewhere else. It WAS addictive and over a year I won a modest amount of things, biggest win was a £500 holiday voucher, but I spent a FORTUNE on stamps and texts!!

I'm getting twitchy fingers again and keep seeing this part of the Forum pop up, so thought I'd have a look around - you're certainly a busy bunch!!!

Do you only enter the comps on here that everyone kindly posts? Those of you who enter 100's a day, are they all from here? There can't be that many threads surely? Do we have to contribute to participate? I'm going to have a more detailed search.

Nice to meet you, by the way , I'll definitely be back...

I don't enter a load as I cant find that many that I want to win. I could enter more, but I tend to enter 40-60 new comps a day plus the dailies that Ive already entered, but can enter multiple times.

I do it over the course of 2-3 hours a day. I dont watch a lot of TV as I find most of it a bit crap to be honest so while my husband is watching stuff for a few hours Im sat at the PC comping.

I don't use roboform yet, but I actually enjoy filling out my details and I am a fast typer (I registered at an agency who said I was the fastest they have ever seen) and I find it relaxes me. Though Im considering it, Im just doing one thing at a time as Ive just started out. I don't have many hobbies and always used to be bored, not any more.

So far up till yesterday I have entered 2712 comps (not inc instant wins) and have won 7 things. But I have only been comping since the end of April and I started out not using this forum so was a lot less, but since finding this forum I average about 50 a day. I do by end date of those that finish the next day, then dailies, then I just work back by when they were posted on here. I have thread subscriptions on the regular updated threads and include these in dailies.

Id probably enter more if there was more I wanted to enter. Then I probably would use Roboform.

I do it to relax and to kill a bit of time. Now Im looking forward to christmas, but wondering whether to have Dec off if its really that busy. Its my spreadsheet that keeps me busy too as I make a note of everything I enter and only delete it once the end date is 2 months old (yes I am sad)

I work full-time, but I don't have kids or pets, and I don't do anything in the morning as I never have time before I have to leave for work!

I will come home and whilst the OH is busy gaming I will put the TV on for background noise and will often spend 2-3 hours browsing and entering comps.

I go for end date first and once I've done all of those for the next 2-3 days I'll go for the most recent posted and work back to the point I was last on, usually back to 11pm-ish the previous night.

I have some dailies on FB and Glamour, Belvoir, Ginsters, etc, all bookmarked and I'll do all of those first.

I use Firefox and most of the entry forms are auto-fill so it's pretty quick and easy for me to enter

Most of my wins are in my sig, I'm still hoping for a gadget win and some cash so I can put it towards my wedding

Just keep at it if you enjoy it

I am very relaxed about my comping now, i used to stay up at night until i had got through the list lol but can't do that any more, i get too tired!

What i do is when i'm sat watching telly i will have my laptop on me and i'll sort the comps by date and just start going through the list! This is great for me as i've never been happy just sat watching telly, i like to be doing something aswell, before i had a comp it was crosswords Then when i get tired or i have to stop to go out or whatever, i just stop! What gets done gets done and what doesn't doesn't, but i do manage to get quite alot done, and i do win some great prizes too! :T
