    I don't keep track, I enter and forget :D

    Obviously use the green ticks to mark off what I've entered, but I don't write them down anywhere else, I don't see the point, and it makes the wins more of a surprise :)

    same as starrybee, keeping a spread sheet or anything else like it takes too much time. Carry on comping :)

    Just the green ticks/red cross now - for the first month or so I did write them down to see how many I'd entered but was a waste of time and ultimately far too time consuming.

    I use the red crosses and green ticks. Also, I keep a word document and have different headings correlating to the month i.e. January, February etc. I add to a number when I enter a comp, so if I entered 1 comp that month, the number would be 1, another comp it would be 2 etc. I also keep a list of the wins for that month and how much they have totaled so far that month. Then once the month is up, I add that total to my total so far for the year.
    I never keep a list of exact comps I have entered though. That would be far too time-consuming...!
    Yeah...I am way too organised...

    I do subscribe to each I enter though as it gives you a total of how many entered. I clear it on 1st Jan and start again.

    LadyM I keep a list of winnings too, with a monthly total and a running total of all the previous months so I'll join you in the (OCD) organized club :p

    I used to keep a list of all the comps I'd entered but it took up too much time!
    I do still have a list of my wins though.
