How's the no-smoking going Don'tskipit?

Passed my 3 year milestone earlier in the month

Free from smoking for 3 years, 2 Weeks, 4 Days, 22 hours and 25 minutes (1,113 days). I have saved £6,683.59 by not smoking 33,418 cigarettes. My Quit Date: 08/06/2004

Well done you.
I had a bit of a 'setback' a few weeks ago - had that 'just one won't hurt' and lost the plot. Soon realised how stupid I was and went back to being a non smoker and fully committed to stay that way - forever.:j
Going off thread here ! But to others trying to quit there are quite a few helpfull posts on MSE. (I still can't do links:o ). Have a look in Debtfree Wannabe

Anyway - How do I get my sig back to being tiny type???

Thanks for those suggestions, really appreciate it. :beer:

I'll have a go when I get home, I'm at work now.

I wasn't intending to use them for bank details TBH I rarely pay online for anything that isn't paypal anyway.

I just wanted to make typing my name, address, email, phone no. a little quicker!

quicker filling in = More comps entered = more chances to win!;)

I use Roboform or the autofill on the google taskbar between them they cover most sites. But don't rely on them 100% you still need to check the form before submitting.

Next question.

Is there a way of searching for comps that end this month. ie search the titles for 06.

I've tried, but can't get it to find anything:o

BTW welcome to the comps board, good to see ya over here!:hello:

brilliant! i've never been able to use google downloadbar at work (network admin privileges needed) however i've managed to bypass the filters to install roboform on a usb stick, which means i can use the form filler anywhere

Cheers!

Just thought would stick my oar in here so to speak. Not on much this week as computer has gone to the land of dud computers and am waiting for it to be rebuilt so am accessing emails and comps etc at library.

Anyway back to the discussion I can see what people mean by some of the suggestions but feel that rather than criticize people for the way they post things we should be thanking them! Its their own time and efforts etc and theres not many comps that get duplicated and when they are they get merged or deleted thanks to the hard work of the board guides of whoms work load must have really shot up in last few months

I'm with you HJB, the present system may not be perfect, or to everyone's liking but it seems to work pretty well and has stood the test of time.

As an aside, has anyone else noticed the number of questions being posted in the comps section? I'm all for helping people but I just wonder whether by answering them in the thread it encourages more questions? Should I/we, tactfully & helpfully, redirect people to the discussion thread/ rules for posting/ search sticky in the same we say posted here for duplicates?

Just an open question, not a criticism....

serious question now , i won a ds lite which i dont really have a use for , i put it on ebay and it sold straight away as a buy it now , which is very good , but now i feel bad that ive sold a pize and wonder whether it will affect my comping kama , i sold it so i could buy tiles for my kitchen , do a lot of people sell on prizes they dont want and do you feel funny when you do ?? or am i just being silly

I've sold lots of prizes that I couldn't use. I sold them on Ebay and I got an extra buzzz watching the bids :rotfl: :rotfl: and then getting my money at the end. I am still winning prizes - no bad Karma here :j
