Where to start?

Options
Hi all,
I've just become a born again competitions enterer and I don't know where to start.
Is it best to start with the ones that are about to run out, I've found it's possible to get them all together by choosing the 'thread title'?option
OR
should I just start with the ones that are newly posted and forget about the others that may be running out?
I can't decide on the best way of making a dent in the backlog of competitions?
Many thanks :)

    Welcome to the forum! This works for me: do the ones that end today/tomorrow/next day first, then the ones posted today if you have time. I do it every day so I find I catch up with myself eventually. Don't forget to tick the ones you've entered so you don't dupe yourself. Good luck!

    Here is the link to show 200 per page - in date ending order (if people have posted them correctly) ... you will have to scroll past the 1st & 2nd Feb ones to get to the ones ending 3rd Jan

    Hi Pearldrummer,
    I would start with ends 03/01 and go as far as I can, then tomorrow start 04/01 and do the same. Each time you will get further and eventually be able to do comps as listed :) GL xxx
