Re: New competitions - 6 years ago
I think there have only been one or two days this week where anything other than in-house comps have been listed. Nothing new again today.by trixy - General Competition Chat

Re: My wins in 2016 - 7 years ago
I remember Competitor's Companion, and subscribing to an entry form service, and going to the library to research answers. OMG I sound old...... I think it's hard to win now because it's so easy to enter, like and share, retweet, then on to the next. 50 or 100 a day! Then every few months someone will sell their story to the newspapers saying how easy it is to win your fortuneby trixy - General Competition Chat

Re: Is our Hobby getting Better or worse - 9 years ago
I'm a long time comper, 30+ years, and I would definitely say it's got worse. Years ago when I was hunting for entry forms and buying qualifiers, I was regarded as a bit of a freak, a nutter...... and that was fine by me because it meant all those people who scoffed weren't bothering to enter and compete against me. Now the world and his wife comp, sometimes to the exclusionby trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: other competition sites - help please - 9 years ago
There are various other competition listing sites, some better than others, but I'm not sure it's appropriate to list them on here..... it seems wrong somehow. But I'm sure if you google you could find them. As for not duplicating your entries, that would be up to you to keep your own records of what you had entered and where from.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Very big change - 9 years ago

Re: Very big change - 9 years ago
I'm using firefox and my strikethrough isn't working either.by trixy - General Competition Chat

Re: easter eggs - 10 years ago
I found my first one today! To be honest I saw it on the page and thought what the heck is that doing there.....by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: ITV COMPETITIONS - 10 years ago
Lots of discussion and answers here: It probably would be simpler if the 2 threads were merged.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Entered or Not Interested - 10 years ago
There used to be separate buttons, entered and not interested (not interested hardly ever worked, you came back the next day and they were all unmarked again) But they both just gave the same score though for the comp so wouldn't make any difference to your counting.by trixy - Suggestions
Re: a bit quiet - 10 years ago
I've noticed the same, but today I had a closer look at latest comps and there are some that I hadn't seen before, BELOW the crossed out ones..... (sorry, not making a lot of sense) I work bottom to top on the latest list, starting at the topmost scored though one...... assuming that any new ones are above that..... but that doesn't seem to be the case lately. So now I need toby trixy - General Competition Chat

Am I the only one here who hasn't got a clue what this thread is all about?by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Is there anybody here? - 10 years ago
Same here, TeddyG. In fact, my cheque arriving was the first I knew of the win. I do love nice surprises coming in the mail.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: £25 cheque - 10 years ago
Thank you folks! I've since won another CC comp and now have an extra 2 years free membership. Yippee! So if anyone is thinking they can't be bothered..... get entering!!!by trixy - General Competition Chat

£25 cheque - 10 years ago
I received a congratulations note and £25 cheque from you this morning, so I'm guessing I must have won from your of your daily quizzes that I enjoy doing (except the fantasy sports ones, they baffle me ) I wasn't sure how else to say thanks so I'm posting on here... THANK YOU VERY MUCH.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Tv Comps - 10 years ago
Read my post above yours Fiona. Since I posted that in march I've heard of more winners who all entered the free way...... why pay when you don't have to.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Marking as not interested - 10 years ago
I've been making them all as entered but as an experiment tried "not interested" again yesterday....... today they're all back unmarked again.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Just Joined - 10 years ago
Good luck, I've been comping for over 30 years (gee, that makes me feel old!!) but I still remember the thrill of that first win.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Hello from a new member - 10 years ago
Loquax haven't closed down, they've gone on to a forum based system which tbh I find rather confusing, a bit too mse-like. Too much scrolling through the junk to find what you want.by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Marking as not interested - 10 years ago
Thanks Pippin, I'll do that from now on. Argh, yet more catching up......by trixy - General Competition Chat
Marking as not interested - 10 years ago
I had a massive comping catch up yesterday, entering the ones I would love to win and marking the others as not interested. Today I've come back and all the 'not interested' ones are not crossed through, so I need to go down the whole list again in case of new additions. Is it just me or has this happened to everyone else?by trixy - General Competition Chat
Re: Tv Comps - 11 years ago
Everyone who I have ever heard of winning from ITV (must be at least 20+ people) all entered the free online way.by trixy - General Competition Chat
