    I don't record anything (apart from try and monitor how many I enter) and opt out as much stuff as I can and I haven't done too bad win wise.

    Anyone else suffering from flippin postal strikes? It is the 4th time in a week we have had no post. The postie is one of the highlights of my day :rotfl: (not the postie himself, just the potential prizes!)

    Anyone received an 'Urgent Notification' of a camera being held in the last few days? Just send in £29.99 'release fee' !! :eek::eek:

    Yeah right.......... :rolleyes:


    I am sure I entered a comp for a camera recently though.

    Personally I only read the thread if the title shows that the comp is for something I would be interested in winning (which is why threads that don't tell me that get on my nerves!! :mad: )

    Then, I read the comp details and all the replies that people have posted.
    I never used to - but then I found I was wasting time trying to figure out why an entre form wouldn't work, or whatever, then I'd read the replies and find that someone else had already had the same problem and (usually) had found a way around it.
    So, for me, it saves me time to read the replies:T

    That's the reason it sometimes pays to be a bit behind with comps ;)
