    Here you go ---> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Counter-Clicker-Chrome-People-Counting/dp/B000WJ158A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349207232&sr=8-1

    I used one for a week last week just to see how many I did because I realised I enter more during the day from emails, late ones on here and through my FB feed. I had one in a drawer from a mystery shop thing I did last year.

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • wow, I think I need to up my game. I only started a week ago and have entered probably 150 in that whole time... that is only from MSE competitions though. I think I need more hours in the day... or more rebellion at work to enter more competitions :)

    I read previously that when there are multiple prizes (eg in magazine comps like Take a Break) some people count each individual prize so it ups their daily total a bit - eg there might be 10 prizes in an issue so count as 10 entries. Could people maybe say that they do this? It may help the people that only do 30-50 a day (like me!) feel a bit better. I only count each publication as one entry. Thanks.

    I was going to ask that, but never got round to it so thanks for asking for me :D

    I count each one separately as they are different entries and separate prizes. Some days I might enter 3 or 4 different mags so that will add an extra 50-100 comps that day, but I do realise it might mean my real number of comps are a lot lower if everyone else counts them as one comp entered.
    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 do between 30-80 comps a day (but usually under 50). The last few months I have been getting at least 1 small win a week. Waiting for my first win of October (I'm not really counting my 5ml sample of NUDE skin treatment as a win, even if they do charge £25 for 10ml! :eek: )

    I've never thought of using a clicker to count up, it's a good idea! I just open a load of tabs and complete them, then count up how many and stick that in word. At the end of the day I add em all up and stick em in a spreadsheet.

    I've been doing 150ish a day but I'm trying to do more. I did almost a full month solid in September and won nothing, it's a tad disheartening but I'm just entering more and keeping my fingers crossed!
