    BUT its wrong, ive won 11 prizes fairly so it aint because i aint winning im saying it, its because a lot of people wont have a chance of winning fairly if people are doing that.

    its a comp and meant to be fun xxxx
    anyway goodluck for wems x

    I just wondered if everyone was wasting their time doing it that way (the people that do). I agree, it's more fun playing properly - I did feel like a cheat when I did it on the old page! You have won LOADS toni, well done :D You really deserve it, especially atm :)

    I had a job interview today - I had a dream about it last night and it all went horribly wrong :rolleyes: so hoping it's not a sign!

    Everything I've won so far has been from refreshing the page and then entering when it was the new one, like I said I'm just seeing how it goes, it's more of a test so that we all have conclusive proof of how it's working.

    It's like when there are people entering late but winning, but people entering at 8.01 aren't, it's very confusing :confused:

    I'm really just trying to figure out what's going on and was going to report back to help people that haven't won before to help them, I wasn't planning on entering that way every day, just this last two (when I wasn't too bothered about winning, in case it doesn't work) so that I can see if it works.

    Edit: btw, just read my last post again and thought I would expand on what I meant, when I said 'it just seems easier' I meant as in that some people have been entering early every day and still haven't won, so if this way works I would've let them know so they could win something. And the slow broadband thing was because that's my situation and if there are others in the same one then it might help them to know what's working.

    Lots of people have been asking about it so it was more of an experiment with me too. It will be interesting to see what happens, if anything lol.

    It was way too stressful to do every day haha, entering 2 lots of details. Bad enough with one.

    If one of us wins and the other doesn't - we're no more the wiser than we were before :rotfl:

    Well toni I think you are going to shoot me down in flames....


    I've only ever won twice on this, first win was the mascara (day one) and I think I entered realllllly late on that ( go figure!)


    2nd win (avene) was when I filled my details in on the old page, waited til 8am then submitted, ironically my page didn't load until I refreshed at 8.52 :eek: but I still won


    So I did the same this morning, got a white page for what seemed like forever, refreshed it at 8.01 and my thanks was there for todays prize.


    All other times I have done it "genuinely" I have won nothing, even though I've been there between 8 and 8.03am


    So it will be interesting to see if I get this one

    The reason some people win after submitting later than others is down to servers, think of it like a queue at tescos , one always moves faster than the other, people joining the 2nd queue after u have been in first for ages always seem to leave shop before u. x
    The thing about me deserving it more at mo than others is kind but wrong, like any effort comp all that put the effort in deserve to win xxx

    I just feel so sorry for the people who haven't won anything yet (I've won a lot by entering the other way, refreshing and then entering) but others have been entering that way every day so far and not won a bean and just wanted to help really, I didn't realise it would be frowned upon :(
