    When I asked a few days ago she said she is ok but having a busy time & some time off the internet, she said there will be 10000000s of comps to catch up on :)

    I enter comps, then just wait. If you enter a very high proportion of what is posted on here, you will spend almost as long keeping check as entering them.
    I'm not really bothered about what I win, (unless its tickets that I know family or myself won't use), as I know that I can always find a good home for most prizes and, as a last resort, I will ebay them.

    I lose track of competions that I have already entered and I think that if I enter more than once I may get disqualified.

    I don't think the symbols next to the threads help me much.

    So does anyone have a system?
