    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • Thank you ladies and gents.

    I have had a read through the helpful links above and started entering as it suggests I to do so fingers crossed I assume it takes a while to get into and once caught up its easier ?

  • Hi RG01,

    Well this is a crazy time to start, but my advise is to just do what you like the look of atm. There are no rules for what you do when. Just get the hang of entering, then you will speed up and do more in less and less time. It will calm down after Xmas :) Good Luck!

    This is such a bad time to start. The board goes crazy, there are too many competitions, the rules go to pot and there is random bumping galore.

    Wait until January.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
