    Hi, I'm new to comping too (started 3 days ago and have worked my way through the comps posted on here - up until today's which I am working on now).
    I think it's a bit of a stretch for a newbie but I aim to dedicate an hour or two after work to entering competitions and so am going to try the £2014 in 2014 challenge, a prize a month challenge and something for each room in the house (I will be moving for the first time from my Mum's into a new place with my OH Feb/March so this will come in handy!).

    Big thanks to everyone who dedicates their time to posting.
    Big thank you to everyone who posts

    Due to my excessive spending this Christmas! I've decided my challenge next year is going to be 'win Christmas 2014' so all my presents and hopefully food/alcohol. Should make Christmas a little easier next year

    Brilliant idea.
    £2 savers club. No.90. Aim £500.
  • I've been comping for a few years now but I've always been a bit sporadic with entering, sometimes I would leave it weeks between entering. The six months though I have been a lot more consistant and it has really paid off (apart from December when my entries went through the roof with advents and didnt win a sausage haha). So i am going to join in some challenges this year. Hopefully the win £2014 in 2014 and the alphabet challenge seems pretty fun!! I would also like to do the wishlist challenge but I feel pretty greedy and I dont want Karma to bite me on the bum so I might just wish secretly in my head!!

    I want a challenge this year but am not sure what to do? Does anyone have any ideas?

    I completed mine very early in the year last year (was very lucky). Maybe we can do a bit of brainstorming?


    I want to win tickets to an event each month ie gigs, sports events, shows etc - just to bring a bit of randomness into life and do/see some new things.
  • I am returning to comping after a very long break and will be aiming for the £2014 challenge.

    Good luck everyone
    £2015 in 2015/£1294.60

    I'm happy to have the same as last year - I love surprises and I still yearn for a new oven & several DIY projects to be fulfilled.

    My only other challenge is to add a button to my spreadsheet, so when the Advents come round again I can one-click the button and it will put today's date in. :D
