I've been doing this blog for just over a month now and amazingly have entered just over 1200 competitions - pretty typical number of entries. I haven't done anything special this month - maybe entering fewer than normal being busy at work and gallavanting up Scottish mountains for charity.
What is a little unusual is the lack of prizes............1200 entries vs 2 Rubiks Cubes, if this was the norm I would pack up, stop, quit, desist, cease or never enter another competition again - fortunately this isn't the case........................I hope.
I popped round to Morrisons earlier - they do have a constant supply of new comps to enter including some great holidays, most of which are "no purchase necessary" - managed to pick up a couple of entry forms.
Roll on the thud of Long White Envelopes landing on the mat!!
good luck

Another comping session
I've just looked back to my last post, gadzooks - it's been a week since I've done an update.
Quite a lot has happened since my last post, I was pretty whacked after the mountaineering extravaganza last week but still managed to play an evening cricket match, do some long days at work (including a 14 hour day!).
At the weekend my wife was away on a girlie weekend so I spent the whole weekend as taxi driver for the children - as well as managing to be persuaded to have a fathers day lunch in Pizza Hut - not my favourite I admit but the endless ice cream fountain is a real winner for my 10 and 6 year old daughters.
So it came as a bit of a surprise when I added up the number of competitions I've managed to enter - a huge 312 in just over a week. This includes all of the puzzle magazines (Take a Break, That's Life and Chat) - must admit I've been entering them for years and haven't won anything from them - but I'll persevere as there are some great prizes every week, lots of cars and holidays for example.
Oh, thought I might mention that my big parcel contained a Rubiks Cube and a Rubiks Cube Keyring - a prize from Girltalk magazine. Hey, not much but my first prize since I started this blog.
good luck!
