Month Ends

There are nearly 900 comps ending 30/11 already posted. :eek: I've counted three times, because I couldn't believe it.

Does anyone have an idea how many there might be for 31/12? Currently it's about 300.

I comp using the end dates, focussing only on the day and ignoring the month, but always work ahead, and normally I'd do a dozen month ending ones each day as well as the next day in my sequence. I wonder if I need to do more than my daily dozen to keep up with December??

    Generally there's upwards of 1200 at the end of the month. November and December are mental :eek::D

    Had a quick look… Around about 1000 last year, but I know there are already been more EOM this year so expect it to be a lot higher.

    However, usually my enter ratio is about 45% so there's not too many if you're picky! :P x

    Do you mean that you enter about 45% of the comps posted? I probably only enter around 10%. Although this is only a guess, by looking at a typical page and seeing mostly red crosses.

    Around that, give or take each page, some are full of ticks, others have more crosses.

    I enter a wide spectrum. For presents and things.

    Think it depends on what you want really :)
