    Ohh, this is like a comper's etiquette guide. Duly noted.

    I can't decide if I like the entry confirmation emails, or not. On the one hand they confirm that my entry was recorded. On the other, they clog up my mailbox and sometimes arrive hours (or even a day) later than expected and I get my hopes up that I won something (even though it's silly to even think that as I haven't been comping long enough! lol).

    The ruddy KISS website - not only does the form not autofill but you have to delete NAME, PHONE NUMBER etc before you can fill the boxes #1stworldproblems :D

    The state of my house during advents :rotfl::rotfl:

    The fact I can't seem to get more than a couple of days ahead in my comping.

    Fridays! Every Friday, I get a Facebook share ban and chucked in Twitter jail :o

    Weekends - the chances of a WEM dramatically drop :(
    Comping since Feb 2012.

    Best wins - Pram, £800+ Baby equipment, Big :eek: gadget bundle, Summer hamper, £500 worth Freeze 24/7 products, Sony Xperia Z, £200 worth tanning/beauty products.

    LOL! Yes my house cleaning gets neglected during Advents too - but what are decorations for? (hiding the dust of course!)

    During the Advents, I also find I buy more ready made meals or takeaways! And if anyone comments...'well I have been busy in the wrapping pressies/sorting out my wardrobe etc so I haven't had a chance to cook anything 'proper'!' :rotfl:

    End of October. Then you don't need to touch them from Halloween to New Year.

    When people post comps and put Twitter in the title when actually you need Facebook and Twitter.

    Birthdates entered the American way.

    People posting in IWIWIW saying thanks in the subject but not what they won is a bug bear of mine. Sometimes you click on a message and it's some cat food or new blinds!
