Do you keep confirmation emails, like the ones the from the Times hourly comps?
I tend to keep the Times ones for about a week then delete them.

    Yeah, I keep them until my mail takes too long to open, then I'll delete them all :)

    I tend to delete although they hang around in my deleted folder for a while so I suppose not lost forever!

    But I've heard of Times wins turning up out of the blue (I think LO won an iPad Air not long ago and only realised when the courier turned up!! :rotfl:) Nice way to get a win! So I don't think it's necessary to keep their conf emails, they are just useful to remind you whether or not you entered during a particular hour I find! :D

    Nah, I don't see any reason to keep them. I delete them straight away. I think once an entry is confirmed, the confirmation has served its purpose. Don't see why you would ever need it later. They're hardly likely to ask a winner to prove they entered. I mean, the fact that a winner is selected is kind've proof in itself huh?

    This is all true, but for some unknown reason, I always keep the Times ones just in case :o:o:o

    We all have our quirks..and that's mine. :D

    Well, thankfully I don't have any quirks. I'm lucky that I'm completely sane and 'normal'.

    HEY! STOP LAUGHING :p:p:p:p:p:p

    I honestly thought I was normal...until I started comping on MSE :eek: and realised comping is more like a cult (a very nice cult at that!). Does that make Martin our cult leader? lmao :money: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
