    Last week I sent a 'I want to win a Rough Guide' email off on Thursday, and received an email on Friday saying that I'd won! That's the fastest turnround I've ever had!

    Have you tried doing the dailies and weeklies? Look in Regular Comps for the threads.

    If you've caught up from the last page, then I find the easiest thing to do is at the bottom click on sort by thread start time and do it for however many days I need to catch up, then you will only see comps that have been posted since the last time you checked.

    WRT regular comps - some of them have new answers regularly, but the threads are closed....is there anywhere we can put the answers, so people don't have to keep searching for them....?

    just wondered about the comps where you have to be under 16 or a child, how young can the entrant be - ie. could I enter for my nephew who is 5 months old?!

    For most of the kids comps I enter for my eldest dd who is 9 but for the nickjr comps(you have to be under 7) I enter for my youngest dd who is 19 months!

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D
