you mabe dont need a pasport to travel in the EU but you do need one to get back to the UK.
i think they mayve just assume you have a UK pasport but most competiton are for UK residents

I don't need a UK passport to get back to the UK. I have my home country's ID card. That's enough

i was referring to british citizens without id cards

our aupair travelled back and forth to germany without a passport( she just used her id card)

what i was saying is its easier to travel within the eu cross borders than coming back to the uk(those that dont have id cards)

on questions of multiple choice do u put abc or do you put the full answer
i'm prone to doing both but more oftrn than not I put the full answer what do other compers do?

I have to say that I usually put something like A) The Wombles rather than just A. I'm also careful that I use 'A' or 'a' but I doubt that matters to them, it's more my OCD kicking in

I usually put the letter and the answer just to make them happy! (then hopefully they WILL give me the prize)

Me too! Never been able to post at the beginning of a thread before!

Just want to say thank you to everyone who posts on here. The advice, the support, it's all very welcome.
I'm a newbie comper but whenever I feel I'm not getting very far I just have a browse through the posts and feel so much better. 2 wins so far since starting mid August. Shrek DVD and Tefal Actifry(makes chips with just a tablespoon of oil!). Some days do loads, other days nothing. But with the encouragement of all those who do post on here hopefully I will go on and win the big one! Could do with a new car. Mine's 10 years old in January but still going well!

Would love to know whether there any comp mags that people can recommend, as I am thinking of using some nectar points to get a sub to comp mags, but dont know which to choose.
Thanks!:A

Sorry I only enter competitions from this website so can't advise on any I have used a couple of comping mags, (a few years ago) & I found that I won one prize despite entering virtually all the comps listed in the 2 different mags*. The prize I won was a bit pants too & it cost me a fortune in stamps & postcards!

Why not save your Nectar points for other more exciting things & enter the comps from this forum? They are mostly free (exception would be if you choose to do the postal or texting comps) & there are between 80- 150 comps A DAY posted here

I have managed quite a few wins just entering from this site (see my signature below), as have quite a few members & I find it hard enough to keep up with all the ones I'm interested in on here!

My advice, for what it is worth, is to use the Nectar Rewards on other things & have fun playing in this comps forum Sorry I can't give you an answer to your question but I do hope that I have given you another option.


*Mags I was subscribed to for 2 years were 'Competitors Companion' & 'Prize Draw Winner' to get the one win!

i usually put the full answer, very rarely I put the letter - if I cant copy and paste and also cant spell the name very well!

I dont bother with the comping mags etc as I have enough comps on here to do that are free without paying for the mags, however if I had points or the mags were free it would be a different matter. I do find though that MSE takes up any spare time I have!

Hi all, I started coming just before chistmas last year I think it was so what happens round here at Christmas? Are there loads more comps? or are there just a load of the same comps but Xmas themed?
