    I don't know how you guys can do it at night, I find it really tiring and if I am tired I will soon be asleep :laugh:

    I do all mine mid-late afternoon, normally when my 8 week old is asleep.

    I work shifts, so depending on what shift i'm on, so on late shift, finish at 10.30 so comp until about 1ish, on nights, if it's quiet at work I can comp throught the night !

    If I haven't got work the next day (I work 3 days a week), I can be found here comping till about 2am. My husband is lovely and does the school run so I don't even have to get up until I want.

    I'm still in bed as I write this :D

    Hi I'm a late night comper - usually sitting up in bed getting back ache whilst my husband snores. I can't sleep till about 6 am then I have to wake up again to start the day just as I've dropped off. Late night comping doesn't seem to very lucky though - so far in the last 6 weeks I've won a book that hasn't arrived yet!

    Away for a few days soon with no internet access :eek:. Will have to pack my knitting :(

    This is me also, i comp in bed with the old man snoring! During the day is so busy with the kids etc I find when everyones asleep make a cup of tea watch QVC and comp all night. In my own little world lol

    I am a night owl, though not when I have to pack DS off to school (only for another week! yaay! - we are in Scotland) so I will probably be on later every other week when he goes to his dad. I love the peace and quiet of the night, it is total bliss. I can no longer do comps in bed as I seem to have developed a switch off button as soon as I try to do anything other than sleep in bed , I am single so I do mean comping or reading lol.
    I get quite excited for anybody who wins on here, it makes my day to know that it is somebody I know (but don't). I shall wave to any night compers when I am next on at silly o'clock. X
    Good luck everyone X
