How long do you spend 'comping'

Options
Just wondering how you all divide your time when comping?
Like dailies/rcs etc, boards..
And just wondering what sort of time you spend entering competitions? :)

I spend a LOT of time doing them. (In between nursery runs, when my youngest has a nap and when they're in bed at night) I don't sleep a lot anyway so find comping quite therapeutic.

I was up until 2am catching up with the boards and finished them!
Obviously I skip quite a few as I don't want to win prizes I don't want (if that makes sense). I also don't really do the effort ones as I don't have time! (I am a mum of 2 after all!)
I do win quite a bit and some prizes are big (not had a MASSIVE) prize win yet but a few biggies and a wins a win as far as I'm concerned!
I max out ALL of my mag daily entries every day, do all the click to wins, lots of other dailies and very occasionally I'll do a rafflecopter (mainly kids toys ones).
And then Sundday - Weds I'm totally caught up with the board before I go to bed!
It's hard but I've gotten good at typing. I don't use a formfiller as I got annoyed with most sites not accepting them, so just learnt to type fast lol.

By half 9 this morning i'd done most of my housework and sorted the kids. Then it's the nursery run after lunch, then my youngest naps for an hour and a half in the afternoon so I'll hammer the dailies then and hit the boards tonight after they're in bed. :)

I didn't spend this much time comping before christmas but I unexpectedly lost my job on the 21st of Dec :'(

    I spend around an hour or so per day entering in. I don't do it at weekends (apart from during the advents) so I fit it around work

    I do the dailies and magazine dailies every morning, normally while the kids are having breakfast etc but sometimes after they've gone to school. These take me about an hour, obviously that depends on how many I'm entering though. Up to last week I was doing 19 comps on most of the mag dailies, but am currently only doing 4! So it's much quicker at the minute!


    Comping on the main board has to fit in round the rest of my life. Some days I'm at home all day so will spend 3 or 4 hours catching up on what I've missed. Other days I'll be out most of the day so don't even look at the main board. Then there are times in between when I'll sit down for half an hour to an hour and fit in a few comps.
