How long?

Options
A pointless and nosey Thursday morning post for you, I am wanting to know 'how long do you spend entering competitions on a daily basis?'

Are you someone who would set an hour a side per evening and enter as many as you can?
Do you not stop until you have entered say 100 competitions that day?
Do you keep going until your eyes start going square and you are running late for work and HAVE to stop?! :D

    I normally comp for about 6 or 7 hours a day - I will say though that it is not continuous as I use other websites whilst doing them

  • I do whatever I have time for, today I have about an hour so can just do my 80+ dailies I have.

    Most days I have about 3 hours spare so manage to do my 80+ dailies and a further 50 or so new comps.

    Im a comp in my spare time so what gets entered gets entered, but I do have other things in my life so have to put comping on the side most of the time.

    Up until the demise of my previous laptop in March, I would say 8+ hours a day, sometimes at it till 3-4am, and I was completely up to date with the board, dailes etc.
    From March until July very little probably not even 50 comps a day. Got new laptop July and while I am back to spending hours a day I cannot seem to catch up, today am doing those that end tomorrow and am very sporadic with the dailies. Not sure if it is because there are far more comps or I am constantly distracted!
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    I do all of the previous day's comps that were posted, plus some from before if I was lazy and didn't do them, plus now I'm checking/entered those with tmrw's end date.

    Timewise anywhere between 4-8 hours, depending on 'workload'. I won't stretch to do all of one day's posted though if there's masses, I don't mind catching up.
    Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

    Oh gee - I do 1-2hrs a day and thought that was a lot :o
    Massive thanks to all who contribute on the MSE forums, especially on grabbit and competition boards
  • I do the next few days' comps, like to be about 4 days ahead of myself, guess 4 hours in total during the week, only some twitter and fb on the weekend.

    Wow becky so many twitter comps! I enter loads and have not won a sausage!
