Do you enter ALL the competitions on MN or just the ones that you'd like to win?

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

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!)
