    It is probably people like you who have caused ITV to go to postal entries.

    exactly what i was thinking

    we are scraping every penny together to buy a house at the mo, so would love to win, who wouldnt!

    but i have a life other than comping and enter my mobile 3 times for each comp - and that is it!

    im a great believer that things happen for a reason and desperation gets you no where!

    its funny on the itv thread people say they only enter 1 or 2 numbers and have won! dont think ive heard anyone mention they enter 20+ numbers and won?

    think this thread shows your selfish and a little bit desperate!

    i deserve to win-dont know why but iprob do lol

    on a serious note you cant wait for a win to clear your debt-im in an iva and paying monthly to clear mine- bankruptcy isnt the only way out and i havent lost my house or car over it
    What goes around-comes around

    but

    (See my thread on IW IW IW) :T:rotfl::T:rotfl::T

    If it is meant to be you will win, try to enter each competition once and forget about it ;)

    I do hope you didn't enter 26 times to win that!

    It takes me around an hour each day. I split the entries across the days so for example if This Morning has 156 entries based on 26 phone numbers, I divide 156 by the number of days from the opening date till the closing date. I have a nice little Excel spreadsheet that works out all the daily entries I need to do that day for each comp in order to complete them all by the closing date.

    That is mental.

    i split mine as well. i do 2 or 3 real deal comps a day with 1 number 3 times. takes me around 4 minutes, actually it takes me longer to fill in the excel sheet to keep track ;)

    Wow!

    The way I see it, if you are meant to win, you will. Whether you entered once or a thousand times.

    I do enter the ITV comps with 2 numbers (mobile and house phone) but no more, if it's going to happen, I believe it will :)

    And you should NEVER expect to win. Or believe that you deserve it over anyone else.

    But that's my thoughts :o
    Thanks to all posters :A
