edited 30 September 2014 at 2:43AM in Compers chat corner
Had a relatively quite weekend (It's a bank holiday in Glasgow (Monday)), so figured I'd come in and catch up on the comps that are closing today (Tuesday) ... what the? ... Took me about 5 hours, there's like [STRIKE]50[/STRIKE] 64 pages of comps ending on the 30/09 (and Im pretty selective about the ones I enter) :|

  • I was away for five comping days last week - only just caught up last night after going at it hammer and tongs! Absolute nightmare but what a good feeling when you're up to date!

    how can spending this long REALLY be classed as a hobby ?
  • It was a bit half-a$$ed if I'm honest, Just sat on the sofa filling them out on the Laptop while watching Vicar of Dibley and the Silence of the Lambs :)

    If the month end had been a Friday there would be even more.

    For non end-daters the total number of pages added for Sun, Mon and this morning was only 32.

    Does anyone else suffer with sore hands and wrists (RSI) when comping? I have roboform which is a godsend but still get pains if I try and blast through page after page.
  • I've never had it, maybe try changing your sitting position or get a wrist support?
    Alternatively, just take it easy ... do a few, go make a coffee, do a few more ... maybe try and break it up a bit instead of blasting through them in one sitting.
