    A quick scan usually works, hoping that I would see if registration is required as I'm often too lazy to register to enter a comp.

    when i forst started entering comps from here i just used to click on the clicky but i got caught a few times on the scammy ones. I tend to read the replies first and if it is cosha then i scan the OP. Of course if they have been posted by Kipper I trust them imeediately;)

    Well, so far I'm the good girl of the poll ;-)

    I pick which ones I'm interested in based on the title then I read the post properly and usually check for other posts just in case there's a problem! (I say usually as I have forgotten and got the answer wrong that time! doh!)

    I read what other people say and read through the post (dont want to get caught out) and then sometimes once the comp loads up i might decide not to bother. I like to leave the comps that would be of no use or interest to me for others.

    Depends who the poster is to a certain extent. If it's a poster I recognise I tend to just go ahead without reading all the T & Cs:o

    I pick which ones I might want to win - no point entering something if I don't want the prize.

    I check what sort of site is running the comp as I may not want to be on their mailing lists.

    I also read the T&C as I want to know what they will do with my information and who they will sell it on to ;)

    I read them all and only enter ones that I would like to win...would be gutted if I got a win that was a week's skydiving or something like that as I would be too scared too go! I also look at the dates for holidays, how many people or if it's a DVD/Book that I would read ect. I am very thorough, which may be why I don't seem to win much :rotfl:

    When i was a virgin comper last year, I used to enter everything, but now I just read the title if it interests me (either for myself or for a friend/relative)

    There are so many comps listed daily so I have to be selective otherwise I would never see the outside world, or perhaps forget to feed my weans, or even forget to do my ironing:rotfl:

    Now stop being so blimmin' nosey kipper and find us more comps ( I was so tempted to click that on the poll)

    fluffynit x :D
