    I don't know if anyone else plans on doing this, but seeing as though I actually seem to be winning prizes this year (:D !!) I thought I'd add their number in for the corresponding 9 entry method types of 1000 comps we are entering, just to see how many wins I have for those 1000 entries (so not counting wins from comps entered before/after those 1000 entries). Not that I'm anywhere near completing most of them yet!

    For example....(not my actual stats!)....

    48) Enter 1000 TW competitions this year
    252/1000 (1 win)

    54) Enter 1000 Website competitions this year
    1000/1000 completed 26th Jan (4 wins)

    ......or something like that.....just to give a quick look at a glance which of your entry methods have given you the most wins from the same number of entries (if/once you've reached 1000).

    Thought it would make an interesting additional statistic......although I may be the only one who thinks this and it's not part of the official challenge, so I won't be surprised if no-one else joins in with doing it :rotfl:

    I won a runners up prize on a competition of a Pets at Home Pets Parcel Holiday Pack :D

    My ladies are very happy :j

    As I won it on the last day of the month I am going to wait until I receive it to claim it as my February win ;)
    (It could be my only win :eek: )

    To keep your 9 x 1000 comps challenges on track, you should have at least 84 in each kind ;)

    Just idly wondering if taking part in this challenge has changed the way you comp or what you enter for. (I'm bored as I'm snowed in)

    For me, I think about the only changes are that I am entering more email comps than I normally would. For example the world book day ones mentioned previously. I am also entering a few more twitter comps to see if I can get to 1000 over the course of the year. (In the days before shadowbanning, I would have entered 1000 easily in a month).

    I still don't enter FB or Instagram, although I am toying with the idea of signing up for instagram I have no idea how it works though. Is there a guide out there anywhere for using instagram specifically for comping?

    Good luck everyone

    My idea behind the 9 x 1000 comps was to try and get folks to enter comps they wouldn't normal enter to step outside of their comfort zone and try something different, I can definitely say that is working for me I am definitely entering more of the comps I wouldn't normally enter.

    When Mrs Bloggs says I won on FB I will go and try a few FB the same with Instagram ect.

    I really don't think over a year entering 1000 of most of the comps will be too hard and folks are realising that after the initial shock :eek:

    You need to try a few FB and Instagram Marg you never know you might like them, and hopefully win :T

    I have an Ins account but I am by no way an expert in that area but I tried, I think it is vert similar to Twitter, you like the image, comment and tag a friend. From what I can gather it is easier to use on a phone, although I use it on my desk top.

    The challenge is meant to be fun, I don't think anyone expects to complete it, it is just something to encourage us to keep plodding on. I like to see what others have won (nosey bugga me)

    I would be lost without a year of the Newt and lucinad :rotfl:
    I just love the craic in here :D

    It was suggested next year that we enter 2020 of each type of comp :eek:

    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.
