    It's a shame they've gone back to dailies with only a 3 day allowance for the post.

    It's 3 working days after the closing date for phone & text, so the postal route for today's comp shouldn't close until next Tuesday

    But the daily ones are cheaper phone calls and after the first entry at £1.03 all the rest are £1.03 for 2 entries.

    That's very well but it used to be free to enter and instant on the website. Now you have the choice of a 63p stamp for a postcard and the chance it won't get there in time or over a pound for a phone call to make sure you're entry isn't wasted. Where I live I've seen 1st class post take a week to get here and that was before they started only collecting mail early in the day. Every thing that ITV are doing is pushing entrants towards the premium cost entry by phone that they make money from. That's fair enough for them but it's more like a lottery where it's about buying entries and has taken the fun out of it for me. I just think it's a shame.

    I agree and I don't do pay to enter be it stamp, phone or text but after the first entry it is cheaper to phone at £1.03 for every 2 entries (and know they have them) than send a couple more postcards.
