    Hi

    Just remembered that I asked about sites to avoid ages ago. Kipper and someone else gave me some.

    I did promise to post them, and having just been duped into a new one, thought that i would finally do it! Here goes:

    im starting to feel my sucess rate will go alot like brasilbranco, i enter loads of comps everyday (and i dont think i enter more than once to avoid invalidating.) and looking at everyone elses wins in november i htink ive probably won one thing... hehe im not sure what help can be given .... but im really envious of any decent wins. i use robo form which speeds things up greatly! and come on every day sometimes twice a day and go through all new ones, and missed ones in the daily email. ive got advents and dailys sorted, weeklys and some monthlys i think too. yet i still feel like im missing something. or not doing something right and missing the prizes .
    oh ive seen WEM written a couple of times and have no idea hat that means, can someone explain. thanks

  • In order to keep track of my competitions I bought 3 different coloured diaries from the pound shop. In one I record postcard entries,in the other online entries and in the third prizes won.
    First time I tried this this year and its a system thats worked really well and stopped me duplicating entries.

    Hi sammiad :hello:

    It sounds like you are doing all the right things - you just perhaps need the Comping Kharma Fairy to visit you & sprinkle you with a little luck!

    WEM stands for Winning EMail
    Some other terms you may see:
    LWE - Long White Envelope (as usually wins are notified in one of these) also know as Long Winning Envelope
    WPC - Winning Phone Call


    Good Luck! :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Not really. We used to have a problem where I'd do postcard comps that I'd find on the net and then my mum would go out, buy the magazine and do the comp from that. This meant 2 postcards going in for the same address which would cause problems if it was one entry per househould.Now we just have to check back in the diary.
    It's also nice when a prize arrives to look back and see where it has come from beacuse they don't always arrive with a letter.

    Thanks for that. I would love to be so organised!
    Unfortunately I am still almost 100 pages behind with no signs of ever being able to catch up so I don't think I would have the time to do this. Especially once I go back to work!

    Glad it works for you though :)
