Sylvia are you sharing the daily comps on facebook to get more entries? Do you use the extra entries it gives you? I think from facebooks perspective you only have comp posts on your wall. I am not sure if the advice to mak it lok less like a comping account works. Think it has been sugested to have photos on there and to have status updates etc so it looks like a normal account

I have never shared the dailies on facebook it's hard enoug finding 25 i want to win from each site :rotfl:

Well done on your win fire**fly :T

Hope you get back on fb soon Katie xx

I rarely update my status Becks, I think it's only a matter of time before I'm blocked from what ive read. I'm wondering if my hubby is blocked too as he hardly uses his account and only has about 3 friends on it! I don't want to log out to check his!

Touch wood mine has been fine so far but then i have verified my account twice with them before. I don't know what the specifics they are looking for are butI rarely use mine for comping unless it's an app and then if t is an app i might post a link to it on my fb but its only visable to those on my comping list as share in't a requirement of the comp. To majority who click on my profile it looks like a normal profil because it is

Can I ask your advice for all you 'souper' ladies! I bought a gammon joint and want to make some soup but I've never made a gammon one before! I've bought some lentils, carrots & onions too to add but I wanted to know how you all would make it. Do you soak the gammon first to get rid of salt and what other ingredients would you add?
If I had a soup maker it would be so much easier!

found this for you wingo, says it easy to do :j
i remember long time ago they used to soak the gammon overnight but don't know if they do it now,

Serves: 2

(just double up for more people)

• 1 litre chicken stock
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 crushed garlic
• 300g uncooked ham or gammon
• 5 small cubed potatoes
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 sliced leek
• 1 diced carrot
• 1 cup frozen or fresh peas

..Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 2 hours

Keep the meat as a whole piece and cook in the chicken stock until really tender, roughly about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

2.
Add the onions, garlic, carrots and the bay leaves to the stock. Season to taste.

3.
Remove the meat and keep to one side, bring the stock to the boil then add the potatoes.

4.
Whilst the potatoes cook, chop the meat up into small pieces. Remove the bay leaves then add the leeks, peas and the chopped ham. Cook until the potatoes are well cooked.

5.
Remove some of the mixture (about 3 - 4 tablespoons worth) and blend this until smooth. This will be the 'thickening' agent as you add it back to the main stock mix. Once it's all back in the pot, make sure to stir it thoroughly, serve with warm bread and butter or with a splash of cream.

If you live in the UK then you probably do not really need to soak your gammon in advance as the cure on most gammon hams is relatively mild. However it is best to read the instructions that come with the gammon and follow the advice from the supplier. If you are still unsure then cut a small piece from the gammon and simmer it for a few minutes in a small pan of water, until cooked. Cool slightly and taste the cooked ham, you can then tell if your ham needs presoaking or not.
If you do want to soak the ham then allow 8 hours for a very small joint and up to 24 hours for a large one. Make sure the gammon is kept cold during the soaking and the water needs to be changed every 6-8 hours (change halfway through for smaller joints).
