The end of a busy day

Well, I've entered all the competitions I plan to enter today - c.150 from Mycomps, 12 from Coffeebreakwinner, 3 more cokezone entries for world cup tickets, c. 20 from random emails received.

I'm going through a bit of a lean spell at the moment - in May I have only won 2 prizes - a package containing 12 different Jo-Lo perfumes and cosmetics products (value c.£200) which will come in handy to give away as presents and a nursing scarf (value £29.99) - not so great.

I reckon that I average about £600 per month worth of prize winnings, which is very much skewed by the biggies.

Anyway, I'm going to keep a tally of entries:prizes starting from today, so:

Prizes entered 185
Prizes won 0
Approx value 0


good luck!

Busy day

Sat down with coffee to do the competitions sent to me every Thursday by "My Comps".

I get about 150 competitions every week from them - all laid out with links to click. With a fair wind it will take me about 2 hours to get through them using autofill on my toolbar to complete all of the entry forms.

It's a bit of an industry for me - I don't spend anytime reading the details otherwise I'd never have time to enter them all.

Thought it would be useful to keep track of the numbers of competitions entered and the prizes won - I'll do that from my next entry.

I'm on holiday today, otherwise I'd be doing this in the evening with my netbook on my lap.

good luck!

Things you come across

Just finished catching up with the morning's entries - some great prizes from the television channels, lots of cash. Thing about them is that there are many entries and the chances of winning anything are decidedly slim. (I've never one a television competition despite entering many hundreds).

Sometime ago I entered a competition with Durex - heaven knows what the prize was! I do keep getting emails from them - keep meaning to unsubscribe, but always find them interesting!

Anyway, the last one had "The British Sex Survey" ......interesting reading methinks.

good luck!

Obsession?

Sometimes I think I maybe obsessed about entering competitions - perhaps it's a bit of an addiction.

If I miss out, perhaps because I'm away, on entering competitions from any of the services I subscribe to, I get really irritable - not giving up smoking irritable but irritated irritable.

Anyway, this morning I've entered a couple more cokezone codes to win a world cup trip as well as about 20 other competitions that have landed in my mail box - I get an enormous amount of email as a result of previous entries.

Also, I've entered the Argos "win a truck full of prizes" competition worth £5,000. You can enter every week.

I've pasted the link here: http://www.worldtruck.co.uk/Content/index.htm?_%24ja=tsid%3A11674%7Cprd%3A1621863#/win

good luck!

Coffee Break Winner

I subscribe to a comping service "National Compers Alliance" (NCA) that gives me access to most of the current big comps available at any one time.

Coffee Break Winner is part of this service. Every day at 11 a.m. the site is updated with shortly closing comps, normally about 5 to 10 a day Mondays to Fridays.

I've just done todays entries including a fine chance to go to New York with Cosmo (fingers crossed) and other compos for concert tickets and sports tickets. I didn't enter them - they were too far away or I couldn't make the dates.

Life is too short to enter everything and I think it's a little unfair to deprive others of an opportunity when I know I can't use them myself. Athough I would enter if I could give the prizes away as prezzies.

good luck!

First Post!

I've set up this blog to record the daily trials and tribulations of being a "comper".

I've been comping for about 3 years now and have won some amazing prizes - but by the same token have spent many many hours entering competitions and tracking down entry forms.

I'll update this most days - giving details of all the competitions I've entered and more excitingly all the fantastic prizes I am going to win!


good luck!
