I think the Lands End advent which has kindly been posted by Pulcinella might need to be listed in the "enter once but daily draws section" I can't quite work out the terms and conditions:

3. Online entry to this Free Prize Draw is restricted to one entry per person.

5. A daily winner will be drawn at random from all postal and online entries received by 23.59pm on the day of each individual draw. There will be a total of 23 Prize Draws taking place (one per day) between 1 December 2010 and 23 December 2010. 1 Grand Finale Prize Draw will be made on 24 December 2010 at noon.

6. Only one registration per person will be accepted during the prize draw period.

I assume this means that once you've registered you're entered for all of them, and not that you can only choose one day to enter! Not 100% clear though.

I think you might be right as I'm sure that was the situation last year, I think you just had to check for the winners names everyday or something? (But my memory isn't that good, so I could be completely wrong! )

Will mark it clearly, so it goes in the right section when it starts xxxx

Right ladies and gents can i just ask for some advice .....Im going to be doing all the advents this year ! and as someone who only started comping the beggining of this year this seems so scary (eek) :eek:

But i am already getting in a right 2 and 8 :rotfl: How can i organise myself so its going to be as easy as possible to enter them all:question:


Thankyou zoe xx :xmassmile

My Personal Tips

1) Go through the list and get rid of any you don't want or aren't eligible for (E.G. I haven't got a Mastercard so haven't been entering that)
2) Set yourself up some bookmarks and organise the links together with all similar comps together (E.G. All FB comps together so you can enter them all after each other)
3) Subscribe to get an instant notification on the threads that need it such as twitter one's where it's a random time
4) Subscribe to get a daily notification on this thread to keep up to date
5) Enter in the afternoon/evening as any problems with links and questions should have been sorted by then
6) Set up a little time diary and try and enter comps at the same time every day as some require leaving 24 hours

All I can think of for now hope they help x

I'll be thanking those with threads then bookmarking in a similar way to Fortuna. I hadn't thought to bookmark into FB/Twitter etc

I'll also be pasting the links into a spreadsheet so I can tick them off as I do them.
I'm also likely to do them in the evening. I've got over 60 on my spreadsheet so far..:eek: Hopefully shouldn't take more than an hour or so.

THEN I have to catch up the normal comps posted.. See some late nights coming!
