    and the usual suspects are winning too - pressing L&S on FB or RT must be their life judging by whose winning

    Smamfer, I hear ya...... I've just totalled up the advent comps, in my folder...86.... I prob have entered 70 of those per day [only enter what i realy want to win] & have been a member of this site for aprox 2mths & nothing....big fat zero:(. Ive worked my way through the listings, started at the last page & worked back & am up to date [as of last wk], so even without the advents, I recon Ive been doing aprox 70 plus per day....... I think the rule of averages isnt working for me lol. Hell, Im not even going for the biggies, like cars/hols...mailny smellies/clothes/food & spending aprox 3hrs am/3hrs pm comping. I dont twitter/instagram, so for me its either FB/web/email comps. I do my name search each evening. How on earth some people are winning several prizes a wk beats me

    well dont get too disheartened Embera some times you dont get told you have won for over a month, i received a prize yesterday for a comp that ended about 2 months ago, and id never received confirmation of winning either..

    Im actually keeping up with the advents surprisingly but works a bit slow so i do have a bit more time this yr.

    Sax i have seen a few of the same names too, however when they post on the IWIWIW page a long list of what sometimes resembles drivel i realise some people really DO enter for EVERYTHING whether it would benefit their life of not, but hey ho of course they " donate all to charity " lol

    That's not as some put it 'a hobby'

    That's a compulsion

    ... but if you put "20% off today" immediately above the entry form half of them would think it was just an offer and wouldn't enter.

    PS. I haven't got a googly eyed stone.
