    :j:j YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :j:j

    Listening to Celebrity Big Brothers Bit On The Side (cos I'm sad) and entering competitions at stupid o'clock this morning (3:09am :eek:)

    I had a win on the Hobgoblin Boneyard Instant Win :D

    It was only a pen so a bit naff, but a win is a win :o

    Gonna cross off Instant Win and January (cos I am not likely to get another win this month) :beer:

    Woohoo, Facebook competition complete and F for fairy, I won't fill in H until later as I may win something worth £1000 :rotfl: I should be so lucky! But don't want to cross off the last one for today until today is over. That will be 14 challenges complete :D

    Are we all counting the Nectar points from the Nectar competition as a win?

    Technically everyone "wins" (you just had to submit the correct answer, which was posted on MSE, so everyone who entered via here should have "won"). Week 1 "winners" got 473 points and assuming answers for subsequent weeks are correct (highly likely!) then we will all go on "winning" points for the next few weeks (there will be at least 4 weeks).

    I'm not counting guaranteed wins are that would be a freebie.
    I'm also not counting discount codes.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Congratulations on getting started Mansey!
    Well done everyone so far.

    From the NEWT!!

    You don't have to cross off 3 challenges per win, it is up to 3 challenges per win.
    (You can only cross off a max of 3 challenges in a day and from one win ;) )
    (Your showing off if you get more than 1 win per day :p )


    Some folks are only crossing off 1 challenge per win, I decided that I will cross off 2 per win (hoping I will get 25 wins in the year :eek: )

    :rotfl: I will cross of as many as I can to start with :p
    I would ideally want to have each category per win (1 per win)
    But if I win something else and I've already crossed it off then I can put that in instead, but I doubt I'd be able to as commitments will be changing soon, so trying to get it filled. ;)

    I've already crossed of H anyway!

    Today's prize is lovely and I can't wait to receive it as it will be tailored to me, but I was super excited to get Facebook crossed off :rotfl:

    Every competition I enter I think... I wonder what I could cross off from entering this :o List has taken over :eek:

    :D
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Yay, just won £1 with Quidco :j , it must be the first time I've ever wished I'd won slightly less, maybe 99p, so that I could tick off the under £1 category. :rotfl: Oh well, still 11 months to go, so hopefully plenty more chances.

    The newt is feeling a bit like the wallflower at the school disco...

    At this rate it will be the worst January ever. I blame Trump.

    BTW why is a newbie posting thank you everywhere? What gives? The bumping is play havoc with my totally random comping method

    PS I do love quoting the newt. She is dead chuffed her rules are being applied.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

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