I have a few competition blogs/forums set up in an rss reader and check it out during the day when I'm bored or on a break, choose the ones I like and leave the rest. Takes about 20 minutes if that.

I saw the same program and decided to try comping!
problem is you have to be selective and you have to be compulsive- if you hope to be a winner (at some time). But it is good fun and it may be rewarding and you must understand this--- I have found that the community of compers are quite helpful and open with any new (players) and it is up to yourself to make of it as you will!
Peronally I love the idea , but it can take over your life,and that is what is worrying me.I wish all compers the very best in life - or whichever reality they reside - carry on !!! Like yourself I have only been involved for a short while so take it as you see it>:beer:

I started comping about 3 weeks ago and seem to have been at it non stop ever since as I have been trying to catch up on all the older stuff. Trouble is I did not join right away and even then did not know till a bit later about clicking "thanks" and I was trying to hold in my head all the comps I had entered which got difficult with all the similar prizes and questions. Now I've finally caught up and today for the first time only responded to new posts. I have won 4 things so far but I am helped by my OH keeping me supplied with tea and meals but he does say that if I don't win big soon he will go on strike lol. I was doing 200 and more a day for a while so I'm glad to slow dwn a bit now. Phew thought there would be about 3 pages of comps was I wrong LOL

I joined last summer, took 3 months to win 3 finger puppets worth about £1.50. Then 2 Mascaras, not cheap, Smoke Carbon Monoxide detector £30.
Now hooked. Best win last week £150 worth of Beef. Sadly getting obsessive and each morning disappointed cos no winning emails (WEM's) Having said that beef was a phone call. Now gotta win a new freezer. Spend 4/5 hrs most nights but only enter what I or my kids/Gkids will use.

Good luck all new compers, I still consider myself new, finally got courage to post my first comp find this week, still cant do clicky but we are all learning.

Lol misread that must be the "not cheap" that threw me thought Mascara was a make of car. Made me and my OH laugh so much at my mistake that we were crying- lucky I was not wearing any- mascara that is

Hi

Am off work at the moment after an op on my leg - so comping like mad!!!

How do you generally find out if you have won something??? Do they email - as I am worried (if I ever win :rolleyes: ) it will go to my spam box!

Also - generally how long after the comp closes are you notified?

thanks

xx
