    I only enter comps on here and average about 80/100 per day, some days less. I spend about and hour and half at night when I get in from work and when ever I can ;)
    What we see depends mainly on what we look for

    WOW, 100 per day - good on you all, i need to speed up a bit, i would say i enter 20 per day - this is my first year of comping, no big wins yet, but not to bad on the little stuff. Was thinking the other day "why do people comp?", is it just to win something big - i comp in the hope of winning something major but winning small stuff along the way is just as fun.

    I love comping, I see it as fun.
    Don't tend to win much, but due to a hectic lifestyle I tend to only manage about 10/15 comps a day.

    However I am currently on the sick so have been entering a lot of comps lately as it is taking my mind off things a bit, and I have been advised to not just mope around - make sure I'm keeping my mind occupied so what better way to do it? :)
    I started on page 177 the other day and have worked backwards through all of the pages so I guess have entered a lot recently! :)

    Hopefully have a few christmas presents land free of charge very shortly!!!

    Yep I reckon it's about 100 per day too but the wins are less than 10% of them.

    I enter about 60-80 a day.(taking 1 - 2 hours) I started mid august and have had a few wins. I really enjoy comping - its a good distraction plus I think this is a really friendly board.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Me too, but then I had undiagnosed ADHD.

    I do about 100 a day now. Wireless laptop whilst watching telly using autofill and Roboform works wonders and keeps you going. Either that or to a few at a time when you can and it soon adds up. I do both depending upon how busy I am.

    I guess im entering about 60ish a day, but somedays I can spend ages on one comp, espeically if its a tie-breaker or photo comp which obviously does eat into your time. Also I waste a lot of time clicking on threads that I've already entered :mad: as my memory is hopeless. I wish we could have an Icon (similar to the tick on the letters when we post a comment) when we hit the thanks button and then we could tell at a glance which once weve entered.
