    so if i enter a comp i mark down what the prize is, the end date and site?

    does that not make comping take longer?

    also do you do it on paper or on your computer?

    Depends how quick it takes to write them down. I'm a quick typer and rubbish at writing so would take me forever to write them down so it is all on my PC. It takes me about 20 secs to record each comp and about 10 mins at the end of the day to sort it out in order, by which time I'm a bit tired of comping anyway. Its just what I like to do and part of the way I comp. I've spent more time writing this answer down than I do making a note of the comp I've just entered. Of course getting it set up takes a bit of time, but like I said I do go overboard with it :D and no-one needs to make as much note as I do. I also fill a bit out if Im waiting for a page to load too.

    I also have a list on tab 2 of things I am expecting through the post whether its a comp win, a freebie or something I'm testing or surveying.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    i keep all the wems in a folder on my pc,
    & a list of wtc's/lwe's in a folder on pc, backed up with a usb flashdrive in case pc goes down, that way if i've not recieved the prize after a month (as maj of them take 28 days)
    i can email them/get in touch whatever :)
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    As soon as we'd got on the road to Whitby it was chucking it down! All I was bothered about was my washing on the line but when I got home it was sunny here and the washing dry! :D still....was a nice day out :)

    Sheils, the pool is up the top steps near the whale bones (not far from Whitby pavilion) there's go carts, trampolines, carting, golf etc and the pool is an open pool, not deep but all clean so the kids can play in free. When it's a sunny day it's lovely up there :)

    Must have walked passed it loads of times and never noticed :o
    It was probably not open though as we normally don't go there in the height of the season. Glad you had a nice day anyway!

    I don't keep a note of the comps I do - not organised at all :o

    I started the year wth good intentions and recorded wins in a cheap diary but the wedding got in the way and i lapsed completely. I never keep track of how many i enter. Just like seeing pages wth green ticks on and if a win comes along then so be it :-)

    We are being very naughty and got a chinese. Mine is a bit spicy though as tried something different for me as always get the same and gets boring after a while :rotfl:

    Well done on the bags Sylvia & fire**fly. I won the pig USB thingy - looks really cute. Nearest shop is 60 miles away but I'm going there on Monday to spend my Toni & Guy voucher so try and get it too.
    It is 21st anniversary of DH and my first date tomorrow so wine is in the fridge already! Will celebrate most things given half a chance.

    I always have chicken with cashew nuts Becks!
