Been through all 275 pages on this forum

Plus the last few weeks worth of entries on HotUKDeals' competition section.

.. and entered every single competition with a prize that either I, my girlfriend, family or friends would like ie. about 80%! Took a good couple of hours over the last 3 days, probably something like 1,300 competitions in total. I incidentally didn't enter anything with a value of <£15.

Hoping to start off this comping thing with a non-dry first month lol. In case anyone is new and reading and wondering if doing such a thing is worthwhile, I'll report back at the end of the month with any wins as most of these comps end within the next few weeks.

Most of all I just hope to win some things that friends and family love so I can see their faces!

Good luck for May all!

    I would pee myself off comping at that rate, with still no guarantees ;)

    I'm one of those people that needs to know something is statistically worthwhile haha, so I thought.. only way to find out is to do absolutely everything and see what that provides!

    Don't think I could do it again any time soon though lol.

    Just be careful you're not entering the same competition twice (ie once from here and once from HUKD) as this may invalidate your entries.
    Good luck though
