    Go to the bottom of the page when you are on the main board.
    Under display options drop down the box 'sorted by' and change to "Thread title" and click "show threads"
    This puts them in order so you will see the first page will now be
    E:31/12

    You need to then find the page with all the dates ending today / tomorrow, so right now all the comps E:4/7 are currently at page 220 and work backwards to finish at page 206...

    I always enter this way, just remember from time to time to go back to the main page to check for any missed ones that have just been listed.

    Good Luck xx

    Or just use the ADVANCED SEARCH
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.php?f=72

    In the KEYWORD box write the day you wish to search for (IE today will be 03/07) then select "SEARCH TITLES ONLY" in the box below that.

    Make sure you have the "COMPETITIONS TIME" selected in the "SEARCH IN FORUM(S)" section ......... then click SEARCH NOW

    Viola - all the comps ending on the 03/07 will show up (Currently 255 ending today)

    It's better to use the forum sorting though, as at the EOM You won't have all the results showing, nor possible on a Friday as you have over 300. Which is all this sort will bring up :)

    Eighth Anniversary
    I haven't won anything since November 2013 but I won a runners up prize today (wine glasses and pizza vouchers). I sit here every night entering as many comps as I can but I never EXPECT to win anything, I just HOPE I do. in 2012 I won 3 long-haul holidays which I consider to be major wins, I'e been to the Bahamas, South Africa and the Cayman Islands for free, so I can't expect to win something every week/month.

    My husband used to say "you never win anything" but then he got a free wedding (worth 20K) and 2 more free holidays so he now lets me sit here night after night entering comps - one day you will win something and I treat it as a hobby not a guarantee. I enjoy reading about the things I might win but I don't stress if I don't win :)

    Keep patient. I've been doing it for best part of 2 years now. Took a while for my first good win.

    Recently i'd gone ages without anything, then this week i've had two wins.
