    Am I allowed to join, is more of a personal challenge. I won more when I was totally up to date with the boards, but last 18 months or so have been end dating and not half as successful. Have been trying for months to clear the boards but never manage it so having it in writing may give me a kick up the butt :-)

    Unless you know how many you have done each day so far this month it will be some challenge to catch up now.

    I have no probs adding you to the OP it all adds to the pot.

    Please remember to add the number of comps you have done each day to this thread :D

    I am staggered by the numbers that you are all managing to enter. Most days, I don't have the time, at all. On a really quiet day like today, I've done so much stuff online during the morning that by the time I get around to comping (nothing "more important" left to do), my eyes are shot and I can barely plod my way through one ITV comp (say, 10-15 entries) and a couple of desperate attempts to replace my dishwasher without paying. Perhaps I just need more tea & paracetomol.

    How can anyone enter 400 comps in a day, every day?

    I reckon flat out 400 Daily Mags or 400 C2Ws is easily achievable in a couple of hours ;)

    You also have to remember we have members from every walk of life on these forums, not all work, we SAHMs, pensioners, students ect

    Oh and according to Sax work shy buggas like me :p

    I get up an hour before the kids and usually do 100+ in instants / dailies / rcs and the main c2w site etc before I've done the school run. Come back and do mag dailies (max entries on every site - takes me around an hour). Then I do all the housework and get other halves food ready for him to take work. After lunch time I generally hit the boards before I do the afternoon school run. Finish the boards when the kids go to bed and then get my Uni books out to study! haha. I used to win a lot more but recently haven't won an awful lot but I enjoy comping and have gotten pretty fast on the keyboard haha
