    I have a suggestion, not sure how practical it is, never tried or tested it either BUT what about opening 4 separate screens, and if the traffic on one goes heavy, click out and try to enter the other ones?? till one goes quickly enough so that you are not in a 'long' queque as others describe it?

    Do I sound like I am hallucinating? :o Any computer experts on the boards?

    Please do NOT take my advice or your computer might crash altogether :eek: :eek:
    Good luck to all

    That means there will be 4 entries all trying to get through and 4 times the amount of traffic to the servers :confused:

    Although perhaps there are people who do this already and can say if it works.

    :o:o I meant sequentially ??? :o:o In case first one does not work you click out and enter on a different screen :confused: But maybe we should just read winners' experiences rather than experiment :eek: :eek: ?

    The more windows i have open the slower things go,... that not with glamour as havnt tried but in general with other sites.
    People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones...

    It is much easier to see other people's failings than our own.

    Oh my GOD, don't mind me :o I guess am just overanalysing it :rotfl: Got 2 wins so far and am grateful but I would really REALLY love to win the lacoste pink, as does everyone.

    Good luck to all X
  • No phoebemail for me today and I reeeeeally wanted that lip palette :(

    Reverted back to entering the proper way today instead of using the old page as haven't won since Fridays suncream. Hoping for phoebemail tomorrow so I can have lovely red nails!! :D

    Managed to get the page loaded up quickly this morning. I dunno if it was something to do with closing down Firefox and restarting it just before 8. My lappy seems to go on a go slow after a while for some reason so thought clearing data would help.....maybe a coincidence though.. :confused:
