What Type of Comper Are You?

sarahj1986

Id say I was more of a combination of 1 and 2, I do the comps I want 5 days a week and on Monday catch up over the weekends, I do most daily comps but again only during the week, I have a set routine of what I do each day. I am a fan but not a manic, if I miss a day it doesn't bother me and as above I don't do weekends.

I'm a new type - an intermittent comper. I'll spend a few months obsessively entering (but ony for things I want. Working fulltime means I have to make room for sleep somewhere) and then one day I'll just stop.

I stopped in April this year after about 6 months hardcore comping and started up again last week. I think it's the run up to Christmas that nudges me to do it but of course by the time I re-start I'm too late to win owt for Christmas!

And when I do start again I'm a very rules based comper as it's the only way I can stop it mentally taking over. No Twitter, no Rafflecopter, no dailies (at the moment until I catch up with the boards), no multiple entries, no annoying multiple magazines, no horses, no babies, no crafting, no fishing, no dvds or CDs, no tickets. It seems like there's not much left but believe me I still didn't get to bed last night until midnight and am only a week ahead on the board.

I'd like to think once I am up to date then I'll just enter the new stuff on the boards and start cleaning my house again but hey kids, look what's on the horizon - the advents! I'm undecided how I feel about them yet, time will tell

Depending on the day, I can fall into all categories.

But some days, I fall into an extra category: The AWOL comper!

This is where real life gets in the way and I don't have any time at all to enter a single comp (or am out all day).

Doesn't happen often, and I used to get quite angsty about it, but am more relaxed now. There's more to life than comping.....isn't there? Maybe. Only a few days a month! lol

Great thread

Another new type here, I am the 'weekday comper' Unless there is an hourly running, I generally don't enter anything at weekends, am too busy with the kids normally

Bleurgh that's not fun BUT maybe the comping fairy is storing up a MASSIVE win for you and will deliver sometime before the month is out? *fingers crossed*

Just had an email this morning to say I've won a years supply of Berocca. :j

Thanks for crossing your fingers it must've helped.

Hello Blulu :wave: welcome back...where ya been?

I enter the things that I really want to win, I don't enter everything, as I'd rather not use up winning chances on crappy daily rafflecopters and stuff.
