hello! Can someone please tell me where are all the Advent comps hiding...or are they not being posted until the 1st? I've looked around but can't find them..or are they not being posted as a group again like they were last year?

Sorry to be so dense, I'm on heavy drugs at the moment due to illness and haven;'t got a clue!

I have been comping on and off for about 5 years, i always do loads for a couple of months then have a break, then want to win again!
But still i haven't made nearly as much as you out of it!
You shouldn't feel like you have to do it, otherwise its a job, not a hobby!

Thanks for replying. Yeah, it was starting to feel like a chore at the beginning of the year and again lately, that's why I stopped.

I'm going to make a real effort to do some tonight and see how I feel - it's probably just the thought of tackling all those pages of comps that I've missed since mid Oct :eek:

Good luck with your future comping!

Hi needahol

I've been easing off for the last week or so. Just a bit jaded of my life revolving around logging in and entering everything in sight!

I'm trying to just enter the ones I'd really really like now (whereas before I entered anything I thought I could use - there is a difference, honest!) - hopefully I'll be back on track after Christmas, but I fully appreciate where you're coming from. I feel I need to be enjoying comping, rather than wading through the backlog...

We've got a break soon (from a win) so I'm hoping I'll come back from that with real enthusiasm again. In the meantime I'm trying to come to a compromise.

Good Luck with your comping

Just a quick question, when it says email, and then say's add your name address, phone number and email, do I need to right in my email or will they take it from my actual email?

I always add my email at the bottom of my address details even when they don't ask for it!

Best of Luck

I've never even thought of that... I think I may add it to my sig now through.

I wasn't sure where to put this but nowhere on any threads have I seen anything mentioned about Candis? I'm a Candis member and they offer a cashback site along with voucher codes, but also daily prizes and giveaways. Is anyone else posting these or should I post them.
You pay to get a magazine but I think you can register on the cashback site for free and also for most of the compeitions.

I've had a dreaded email from a company linked to Fair Exchange saying thanks for entering their comp & I might get a call from Club Costa

I'm really careful about avoiding spammy sites so am rather gutted. I'm positive it was through UKfamily and won't be touching them with a bargepole now.

So I do try to unsubscribe to the email or ignore them.........

On another topic when I get behind (happens often I just do the ones I really really don't want to miss and just ignore the rest. There are tons more new comps each day so I don't worry about stuff I've missed. Means I always enjoy it and spend as much time as I want to
