I've not been comping as much as I'd of liked recently but trying to get at least 84 competitions in a month for each category entered, to at least have a chance of completing this year challenges. Not sure I will be able to complete the Rafflecopter and Email entry challenges though as I haven't even started on the email challenges yet, but I will give it a good go, it is still early days.

Luckily I enter for most things as I have children of all ages in my family and I can make use or gift most things, so I have an advantage that way but I still feel like I'm being more selective with what I am entering for and haven't found many things on Instagram that I would like to enter for.
I'll just keep plodding along
Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.0 -
I read on one of the Challenge posts we need to do...
3 of each challenge per day
21 of each challenge per week
84 of each challenge per month
That makes it sound so much easier
Most folks are doing really well :T
Well done on all the wins too :j“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

Won some mens facial stuff (moisturisers etc) I can just imagine husbands reaction :rotfl: the only moisturiser he uses is hand cream! Son might use them or daughters partner.... if not it will go to a raffle prize (it's Elemis - so not cheap!).
I won a family ticket to 'Dear Zoo' and it's visiting a local theatre so thats good. Have gifted to a family in the village who have a poorly son (fairly rare illness - and not a good outcome.) Not officially a charity as such.
I was trying to work out a list of 10 things i never enter for and couldn't really think of any I never enter en mass (so to speak).
I don't own a cat but always enter for cat stuff (charity) I enter for tickets for things I / friends will go to. Don't enter for tickets for things miles away that i won't go to but will enter for Rugby / Cricket tickets in Cardiff / Manchester etc coz I know we would go (have been to Cardiff & back in one day more than once for a match! We are in Hertfordshire). The kids are all grown up and I am assured there will be grandkids one day (and maybe even a wedding or 2) so I enter for all those.
PS I love Gin!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
I reckon if you gave the tickets to people who are not friends or relatives then that could be classed as a charity donation if you choose it to be :T
If you do let us all know so we can put it onto all of our lists

Ive realised that being back at work i dont have time to enter as many anymore!
(going to have to restrict it to half-terms haha!)
I had some Ski Goggles and a Helmet arrived today (was only expecting the goggles as it was a sunglasses company!) I've already got a helmet, which is a better make, so I'm donating the helmet to charity - so we can cross that off the group list!
The goggles are great as they are for sunny days and i've only got snow/normal conditions!
they are humongous on my face though. Haha. December Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers0 -

Good grief - I don't spend that much on moisturisers in a year!0 -
