    I generally only enter web competitions and then nearly all of them are only for cash.

    (and of course apart from a little leccy they all have be zero cost to enter)

    I do Instagram and Facebook (when not restricted) really going off both
    Odd Twitter
    Mag Dailies and email ones
    I don't do that many Gleams, Blogs (never) and anything which involves free entry to buy a ticket to win.....
    Don't do Tiktoc or the new insta thing as I don't understand them
    Don't do 1/2 nights away unless London or feasible travel, kids stuff selective and I never do anything I could not gift/ use personally. I absolutely don't like the idea of selling anything, I would rather gift them to someone who really wanted it. But I am old fashioned and I know that

  • One night stays unless it’s within a 1-2 hour drive. Instagram/ Facebook comps that have 2,000 plus entries already. Anything that I wouldn’t personally use or enjoy or could gift to someone else. Gleam or rafflecopter that require a comment. Don’t enter mag dailies.
  • For me the list of ones I don't enter is...
    - ones where I can't meet the ts and Cs for ( such as where you live )
    - for a prize I don't want ( so for example certain kinds of books, any DVDs, most computer games, anything scifi, some vouchers for days out or experiences) or wouldn't be able to use / gift to immediate family
    - anything you have to pay to enter, or is on tik tok
    - don't enter many on face book
    - holidays abroad that don't include flights
    - comps for things like a pack of seeds or a few pens etc ( so for example don't enter many of the wow ones)
    - anything that means going in air ( I'd be terrible!)
    - nights away or meals or days out that are to far from home or friends / family 
    - pet related unless its dogs
    - cosmetic procedures, yoga, therapy, teeth whitening, fitness apps or classes
    - tickets to things like a ball or a classical music concert

    I only enter for stuff I want or can gift. 
    I don't go for any 1 or 2 night stays in the UK if they are too far away. 
    Apps - Can't think of anything more disappointing to win
    Crafty bits - however I did once win one of those cutting machines, and I sold it and brought new tyres for my car, so if I know it's high value I might. 
    Hiking/outdoor gear
    While I will enter for a push bike, I don't ever enter for any bike gear. 
    DVDS/Blu Rays - I used to but stream exclusively now  
    Sports merch or events 
    FB/TikTok comps. 
    Sometimes I can't be bothered with those long RC's done by loads of bloggers, but sometimes I can! 
    On air Radio comps, to embarrassed!
