    My first real time in here today :o

    So I started very carefully, reading everything slowly and filling out my details meticulously (all to my 'spam' email account, mind!)

    :j :j Then the adrenaline took over and I got quicker and quicker, entering for everything like my life depended on it :eek:

    Addictive isn't it? And I haven't won anything...yet! :rotfl:

    I'm a bit in between aswell. I click on every thread regardless of the title but then have a quick scan of the thread just to see which site its from, whether(if its a holiday) it includes children or whether I want to win the prize!!! Also, as others have said it also depends on who's posted it. One thing I do check first these days is the date it was added/if my thanks button has gone, as there seems to be a lot of bumping of old comps which can lead to a lot of duplicated entries. :D

    NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D
