Never done them either but will only enter if it's something I want to win/can make use of. There will be far too many to do them all. Also don't forget to keep going with the normal comps too.£2 Savers Club for 2022 #120

I have only ever had one win on an advent comp and I have been doing them for years. There are plenty to enter and so enjoy the entering they are fun , but don't get your hopes too high and then any possible win is a bonus.Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A0

I only did a select few last year as was studying for three exams in December so was not actively comping. However I won:
Some Godminster cheese, a cheese board, crackers and chutney from Dorset Cereals advent - on the day of an exam funnily enough!
£100 Lands End voucher and £100 donation to a charity of my choice from Lands End advent.
and
A bundle of kids book from the Scholastic advent.
And I was probably only doing about 10 advent comps daily!2009 Wins = £833
2010 Wins = £6,597
2011 Wins = £7,083
£2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
20 in 2012 = 4/200 -
