Because quite frankly, people who enter them all even if its stuff they'd never use/want/need/whatever piss me right off.

Yes yes yes comps are open to every one but its just greedy IMHO.

Oh and No I've never won anything.

I do just the things I want. Normally just once too going with the theory that if I am meant to win it then I will

Apart from the HSM one which I entered about 4 times as I wanted xmas stuff

It pisses me off too though - why enter to win stuff for a small girl when you only have teenage sons etc?

Only the ones i'd want to win.

Some of them you enter automatically if you post a review/tip/whatever they've picked on that week. So it's quite possible to enter without even noticing that there is a competition...

people add tips n stuff without wanting to enter a comp???

well, if they don't want the prize they shouldn't put their email address in the box when submitting the tip/review.

Of course my startingthis thread it means I've jinxed myself for the prize I really want to win.

I hardly ever recognise the names of winners.

I don't enter that many because with two grown-up children, I'm not going to want baby stuff (at least not until either of them presents me with a grandchild) Until then, I keep my tips for the comps I'd really like to win...

I don't enter ones which are unsuitable for my dd's age, or if I don't like the prize

<creeps to LTH>

Or if I can't do the dates, eg the current one for Chatham House prize - can't enter as my dd will be at school on those dates - and no, I don't do holidays during term time

Only the ones I would like to win and only once. Maybe I should change that though as I never do win.

Normally only fio the prize is relevant but ended up winning books suitable for my dnephew when I had really entered for a ski holiday !

Does adding a comment to a listing count as adding a listing ? (there are only so many things to do after all!)
