    You know how you can set your homepages? Well I use a different browser for comping, so I have 4 home pages set up - the first page is to MSE comps, the second is google results for "my name" winner, the 3rd is my twitter interactions (in case I get @mentioned) and the fourth is the "other" folder in Facebook messages = all bases covered.

    Well done on your win!
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder

    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    Since I got married it's hard to check for wins as my name is now the same as an actor, a sportsperson oh and a whole area in the USA!

    So everytime I google I just get various news from stateside lol
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    I did that once... and discovered that I'd missed out a win of 2 free European flights on FB :-( and they didn't respond to my message when I contacted them.

    I did this and found I'd missed out on some tickets that I had won to 'Discover Dogs' . Disappointed but grateful to you for the advice!!! Hopefully I won't miss anything else x

    Just tried Social Search for Facebook and discovered I had Won a holiday to Cyprus, luckily just a few days ago and they are going to contact me on Tuesday.

    Also a 12 days of Xmas win have not had a WEM but hopefully they will just send it. Certainly worth checking regularly.

    My double lives in Canada and even has the same profession and interests as me. Freaky!

    I work in Children's Services in a local authority.

    So does another person with the same name as me (different LA)! Spooky, isn't it!
