    This is my first Advent and I am already feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of comps that I don't know where to start. Any tips from those of you who have done it before?

    Please bear in mind I have a family to take care of so sitting at the computer all day isn't going to hack it!

    I know how you feel, there seem to be more than ever this year.

    After hardly winning anything last year I said I wasn't going to bother but of course I'm addicted already:D

    I'm being very selective with the advents, just cant fit them all in without going bonkers, keeping my normal daily routine is important to me so I've only bookmarked about 50 of them.

    I've decided that there is no way I can do the lot, so I am going to just do the twitter ones.

    There so many!!!! I've always been doing exams in December the three years I've been comping and was looking forward to December for the advents, being the first time I'm exam-free. Now I kinda wish I was taking exams lol!!

    It's taken me about 1.5 hours just to do dailys today! And I've rejected quite a lot of advents because they take too much effort to enter or the prizes aren't to taste!

    And I'm 29 pages behind on the normal comps - thank god it's the weekend!

    On the upside I've already won the Heinz advent! Yipee!

    Good luck all!
