    Just a favour to ask, Ive had crohns disease for 10 years now and have just been sent this link to sign a petition to the government to get them to look further to developing a vaccination for crohns treatment.

    If you could sign up that would be brill x

    just wondered how many christmas presents you are giving this year have been competitions wins - ie how many presents you dont actually have to spend anything for?

    I dont normally give many presents to be honest, but have already got my brothers and part of my sisters from the vouchers I won for the years supply of persil - as there were quite a few different toiletry brands that could be used. Have also won a kiddies cd thing that will do for my nephew - if anyother wins come for kids before christmas he can have them too. As for my parents, well Ive won a couple of dvds so far that will go in with their present, and hoping something more will come so I dont have to add anything!

    I haven't so far won anything that would really match anyone I buy pressies for :confused: I guess I will be using comping sales on ebay money though :D

    I have put a few prizes away over the year for Christmas. I got a pleasant surprise when I started to organise pressies at the weekend. I had 11 from comp prizes, although I buy 42, so still a long way to go. Next year I am cutting back to mum and dad, dd, bf and about four close friends as I just hate all the shopping.

    Hello to all. I have been reading a few threads on comping and just read someone who said they enter about 100 comps a day! I am amazed and daunted all in one! I am impressed if I enter 10 a day....... and I'm in the very excited to have started competitioning phase!
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        On average I enter over 100 a day, but thats because I've not long started comping and catching up with ones I haven't entered. Must admit getting tired of entering the same details over and over again lol But you've got to be in it to win it. Good luck with comping :)

        100 a day is quite normal especially when you add the dailys, weeklys and monthlys. When you're entering all day you don't realise just how many you've actually done, a lot more than you think!

        NOW IN COMPING SEMI-RETIREMENT! :D

        Don't you have roboform or similar? Most of the compers use it and it makes life so much easier.
