Is this someone here I wonder?

Fascinating, but how does she win so much by just entering 100 a day? I do more than that on the magazine dailies, before I start on the comps board and other dailies.

Thanks for posting Mum2

Yeah I thought that Blu, I wondered if she'd toned it down lol.

A couple of the comments say about it being a waste of time too, each to their own, means more chance of us "timewasters" winning I guess

Yes , 100 a day - I enter more than that and don't win nearly as much - unless she cheats (oops!)

It does say since 1989 maybe a slight over evaluation of goods??

I could help but smile when I saw the comfort umbrella in the picture

Mind you, if anyone who had been doing comps regularly for over 20 years jotted them all down, I am sure the list would look good.

she says she wins about £200 a month, I reckon I win more than that most months

Love the way they say "Woman who enters a HUNDRED competitions a day" like it's loads!!! Like you's all say, I enter over 100 dailies before I even look at the main board, I'm extremely selective about what I enter, and I still do over 100 unique comps a day!! I consider myself a part timer compared to some on here!

I was about to wonder how she managed to rack up £100k of wins, but if it's over a 24 year period that's only £300 a month worth. Not bad but hardly amazing!!

Some of the comps she enters might not be posted on here because they involve making a purchase of more than £1.53. If you went out of your way to enter competitions that for example need you to spend £50 on shoes to enter, most of us lot would not bother, unless we really needed shoes anyway, but some hardcore compers would; especially if say the prize involved needed a slogan, that they knew would put some people off. A friend of mine tells me of someone she knows who enters mainly purchase required competitions, not online ones and she will buy literally hundreds of things to enter. For example, when kit-kat were doing a competition, she bought loads and loads of kit-kats, removed the wrappers, then sold the foil wrapped kit-kats at work for 20p a time.

Oddly it says she started comping in 1989 and then the picture below says its from Rome from her win in 1986 lol good bit of journalism

But fair play to her, if she has won as much as stated and £200 of prizes per month then good on her but I doubt its 100 per day as it will be much higher imo to get that return
