    I've never used Instagram and I doubt I would ever use it except for entering competitions. Do you guys think it is worth me setting up an account?

    £28? Then I've reached my guestimate :rotfl:
    I'd say around £3 as it is a decent plush, I'm making a decision and adding it to my total!

    Well my guess was a fiver :eek:

    Well if a technophobe like me can do it anyone can :rotfl:

    I am just using my desk top poota for entering Instagram comps so don't regram like a few others, I just enter comps that need a comment or you tag a friend or two.

    I have a "friend" who checks my DMs once in a while.
    (Well if I can be her FB "friend" she can be my Instagram "friend") :rotfl:

    Thanks. I will try to get to grips with it when I have some spare time on my hands. I am not at all techy, so may need to get one of my kids to help me. I am sure they will laugh at the thought of their old Mum using Instagram.:rotfl:

    Thanks!!! how do u tag people on instagram?? :rotfl:

    Glad its not just me who can't figure instagram out :). Inspired by all this talk of instagram I joined this morning, as thinking I can do instagram and twitter comps on my phone while on holidays and away from my Macbook/Wifi......only problem is I can't figure out how it works :rotfl: I shall be reading Ms Dee's post and hopefully figuring it out tonight.

    I also need to go back through this thread and catch up I think.....I've obviously missed something with all this talk of challenges, no idea what your all on about :rotfl:

    I'm thinking of giving up the rf/gl thread, as I don't think many people are actually using it, and it takes up my comping time keeping it updated - with 3 kids and a puppy I'm busy enough as it is :)

    On a more cheerful note, I've had a really good week comping wise :) after weeks of no wins, this week I've won a £100 itunes voucher (which has already been delivered! fastest I've ever received a prize) a dvd called Neruda (no idea at all about this one - can't even remember entering a comp for it), and £50 on tombola, which I'm counting as a win as the ticket only cost 25p :j

    As I said earlier if I can do (well half do) Instagram anyone can, most comps ask you to like their page, comment and tag a friend or two, a mixture of FB and TW ;)

    We have been doing a monthly challenge just for fun, one month was win something pet related, one month was flowers, this month was chosen by Morning Postie it is called Race to Riches we have to add up the RRP of the prizes we win, next month is win something that can "fly".

    My son #2 was shocked I was on Twitter and totally gob smacked when he found out I was on Instagram :rotfl:
    You have the right idea though if you get stuck ask the kids ;)

    I hope I don't sound rude......... but......I have never understood why the dailies/weeklies/Mags/Raff/Gleam ect threads need to have a person at the front so to speak who puts the whole thing into order, I personally open the new comps from each day (the last ones posted) and do them that way.
    I'm not sure if I explained that very well, but I know what I mean :rotfl:

    Some great wins on your list, well done :T

    Thanks for explaining the challenges, that'll save me searching :D

    When I first took over the rf/gl thread, other posters would post the links to comps, and I'd just collate them into a list - but no one is doing that any more, so I'm having to search for the comps and keep the lists up to date, and its just taking up too much time.

    I do get what you do, thats how I tend to tackle advents, and I think every one would do it that way if no one was doing the lists, people just get used to someone else doing all the work I think, and some people like entering daily, but don't like doing the work to set up bookmarks etc

    Going to try and get used to instagram this week, I tried pinterest as well, but it just confused me completely, so I've deleted that, and going to just stick with instagram and twitter, and the odd facebook comp.

    You can tell how useless I am with technical stuff, I've managed to open instagram using the same name as my "comping" twitter and email accounts....and linked them to my real life facebook oops :eek:

    Wooohooo, just found a WEM :)

    I've won a set of books called Children Of A Dead Earth, off to figure out what letter I can use them for :)

    So checked and can't find anything I can use them for :mad:

    I obviously need to start being more careful what comps I'm entering ;) I need a, j, k, v, x, y, z so off to search the boards for prizes beginning with x, y and z :rotfl:
