    I'm up for trying £2014 in 2014 - be interesting to work out how much I win - had a break for about 8 months in 2013 so maybe be able to win a bit more if I try and enter throughout the year.

    Think the A - Z could be quite fun too - how creative are people in naming their wins to get all of the letters - e.g. would you name each book or just write 'books' ?
    Life is too short to let people get you down :beer::j
  • I started comping in a October and had no wins until December when I had 3 wins on the Stella comp and a leather handbag from an advent so pretty pleased with that.
    So I'm going to be ambitious and go for the £2014 in 2014 and the A-Z challenge. Some Xmas presents would also be good as I never have any money left for the January sales.
    Good luck to everyone

    I'm back on the comping wagon after a fair few months away (2 jobs kills any spare time). I've only won a couple of times, one of which was a competition separate from MSE, so this year I'm planning on plugging away until I'm averaging several hundred comps a week!

    More importantly, I'm hoping to do a postgrad in acting (I know, I know), so money-based comps will be another priority for me to help with funding etc! Feeling pretty excited about the New Year :beer: I'd also like to win some house items for my ma as she's struggling a bit recently too!

    I'm also going to be ambitious and go for £2014 in 2014:D

    I started comping in Aug/Sept and had some pretty amazing wins already (my big wins are on siggy) - I've been very lucky, but had a break in Dec cos of Christmas and was just too busy with family commitments.

    I've made a New Years resolution to get back on it with a vengeance lol!

    May also try the Alphabet challenge for kicks and giggles too

    Good luck everybody!

    Having given it some thought, I don't wanna set myself up for a fall - so I think £2014 is a reasonable amount to aim for, given that last year I think I reached around £1500 worth. Fingers crossed!

    My challenge to myself is not related to prizes, but to the way I comp. I am setting myself the challenge of changing from end date comping to latest post comping. I have made a start by working from oldest posted comps as well as doing those ending soon, but I still have loaddsd of pages to get through and then see if I can keep on top of it.

    I might try for the £2014 in 2014 as well. I have never totted up before the value of my prizes, so I don't know if I have any hope of making it or not.

    Good luck everyone.

    I tried to do that in November and then advents happened!!
    Thanks to all OPs and everyone who helps/posts etc!!:T
