  • Is it un reasonable to ask the husband to take December off to look after our gorgeous daughter so that I can fit them in? :-D hee hee xx
    Thank you to everyone who posts the comps and helps with advice.....:A

    There so many!!!! I
    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!

    Good luck all!

    Am I glad I'm not the only one, i know I've got about 38 pages to catch up on - I dread to think how many pages behind I'm going to be by next weekend :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    oh well onwards and upwards :D

  • I have a NEBOSH Health and Safety exam on Friday and have done no revision because of these! Im pulling my hair out! my legs are fried from the laptop, its overheated twice and I've been sitting here since 4pm and still not finished! My daughter will be phoning social services and claiming neglect by the 24th! There are far too many, way more than previous years!!
    Back on it!
  • I have done the advents for the last couple of years and did quite well last year
    This year there is just far too many and i just don't have the time, something will have to give, before i have a breakdown lol
    Not getting in from work till 10pm doesn't help, Im just too tired and the more advents i look at the more confused i get, I gave up half way through yesterday and that was only day 1 lol

    i am glad it isnt just me i feel like i have had this laptop attached to me for the last 5 days solid! the 30th novemebr was a massive challenge, think there was about 100 pages (started 28th and took me 2 days with regulars as well) and then adding in the advents now i cant seem to fit them all in :( think i am going to have to pick the best ones and stick to them :)

    good luck all i think after all the extra effort we put in we all deserve something nice before christmas! :)

  • This is my first year doing advents too and all I can say is WOW. I'm struggling already,more and more are appearing by the hour and I feel like I'll never get them all entered. I am already 100 pages behind on regular comps as I have been playing catch up on them for the past few weeks. I am having to be very selective with the advents and only entering for things I really really want.
