Argh I'm an idiot :(

Been comping for less than a week, today I was feeling quite positive by the whole thing...until I picked up my iPad to enter some more.. I use paste for my email address and couldn't understand why I couldn't get my email from a website to confirm member ship.

I'd only been using a .co.uk instead of the .com it is and I've no idea how long I've been doing it :mad: I enter about 150-250 a day :( I'm a plank. Trying to re enter the few I've done today, will the ones with my mobile number be ok? Also the ones with my address will re-entering with the right email be classed as 2 and get me disqualified?

Xx

    Personally I would write off the ones you've done incorrectly and start on new comps. If you enter again you risk disqualifying yourself so why waste the time? There are plenty of other comps to enter.

    In my experience very few companies call to tell you about a comp win (1 have had 3 in 2 years). Their email to you will bounce back and the company will then redraw the prize.

    May be a silly question, but is the email you used with the .co.uk available (was it an unusual one?) If yes, might be worth claiming it quickly? Just a thought x
