End of month comps

I'm still working my way through today's! I bet I won't finish and I like to be 2 days ahead so best get on with tomorrows soon. :) Anyway, how many 31st comps do you think are listed here? Is there a way to count them? The reason I'm asking is I had a message from a paid site trying to get me to join (as if!). They say they have 128 comps finishing today as though they're really proud of it. What am I missing? Surely they don't have 128 comps that we don't have on here! I hope no one falls for it and pays up it's so unfair. 128 comps is less than the average Saturday on here lol.

    there's way over 128 on here - you could count the pages of comps ending & then multiply that by comps per page - but TBH I'm not that anal !!

    I still have some ending today to do, and reckon I was only half way through when I got too tired last night to continue.

    Since I've had to start comping by end date due to time issues, I've noticed that the last day of the month and the first day of the month probably have three times as many as any other day in the month...

    I chip away at the end of month ones throughout the month - I already have most of August 31sts that have been posted sorted

    I comp by end date and I reckon I need to be about a week ahead by the end of the month to get through all the comps ending on the last day. I seldom manage it and used to get very stressed about it, but now just accept that I have done as many as I can. This month I left about 25 pages undone, but I now just move on to the next day.

    I sort of planned to do that ^ but this month I've not had much chance - no way will I get through 1200 comps today lol. I'll have to pick and choose a few from each page..

    I do prefer end date comping, it's more relaxing - apart from the last day of the month, it took me by surprise just how many there were the first time I came across it!!
