    I stupidly decided to have my first go at facebook this week, definitely the wrong time to start! Just popped over here for a rest from entering Advents. Remind me not to learn Twitter at this time next year.

    Oh God, it's awful! I wasn't here last year but happily did the advents the year before, and there weren't nearly so many then. Now I can't cope! I started at 1pm and it's now 8pm?! I've yet to catch up on the normals, have completely missed the dailies, and Facebook is a random thing I cram in whenever I can. D:

    Hopefully it'll settle down, but right now I feel so incredibly disorganised! I'm even forgetting to eat the chocolates from my actual advent calender. :D

    Advents + daily + regular = RSI and square eyes.
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    I am only going to enter a few - I cannot remember when I last entered dailys, I am always only a day ahead of the comps ie need to enter any comps for the 4th Jan!!!

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:
  • i had a list of over 200 and have got that down to 186 today.
    Took out things I wouldn't want, dogs, ski-ing and tiny prizes. Started about 1pm and would have got done about 6.30 but had to get some bills paid!
    Done dailies and FF on twitter / facebook (got over 70 of them!)

    Started on normal main board now and have to go back to 7.30pm yeaterday. Only got to 5.30pm today so far.
    Going to keep on until 11pm then it's got to be put down..

    Will have more time tomorrow - hopefully- mind you the house needs a dust/polish/hoover.... argh......
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

  • This is my first year of advents.. Usually I like being busy with these comps, but I've been comping on and off since 8am this morning, I'm almost caught up with the advents and dailies but I don't know if I can cope with another 23 days of this!

    I'm getting quite annoyed with life getting in the way!
    Thank you, to all those who make the comps forum, what it is.
