I am new to comping- only a monthish. I have only won tickets to the golf and a couple of books. I havn't entered that many really compared to most others but I have this mad OCD about checking emails constantly now! Just incase! Do you grow out of this as such, or does everyone else do the same?
All I am getting now is loads of random stuff from all the newsletters etc I have subscribed up to lol .:rotfl:

Welcome, in answer to your question no you do not grow out of it. I have been comping for around 18 months and constantly check, even after winning I can be found still checking in case there is something else.

Lol,
Another one that annoys me is missed calls from withheld numbers. I work 9-6 everyday, and cant have my phone with me. The odd one I do manage to answer is automated PPI rubbish. I need to start entering a lot more. I lurk a lot on here, and always reading advice everyone has for newbies. 0 -

I am terrible at checking my emails, obsessed isn;t the word
Although, recent comp I won sent out 20 emails and first one to reply with their details won the main prize, I managed to reply in 3 minutes flat, so there are times when the OCD comes in use lol0 -
I check mine so many times a day, poor gmail is getting fed up!0

I'm always checking my e-mails! Although I've only had one win so far this month...but just in case!
Have given up listening for the postman though. Have hardly had any post lately & certainly not any wins or freebies...:( January 2016: Seed Pantry Grow Pod 0
