    Thanks for the update! Hopefully they can be reposted with new end dates. When I think of all the wasted minutes I spent retyping those damn captchas and getting no where!

    I know it's now void so this info is probably useless, but refreshing until it was just numbers on the captchas seemed to then allow the entries to submit x

    I think we have all wasted a lot of time with Waitrose capthas recently.
    Like many others on here I have a sent several emails to their customer services . They have entered me into some of their competitions but earlier this month mentioned technical difficulties and apologized that they too were unable to submit my entries.
    They also mentioned that they are working on a new website.

    That made no difference when I tried it. :(
