Advent wins?

How's everyone doing winning with the advents this year? This is my first year and I heard that there are a lot more than last year, but I'm guessing there are a lot more people entering them than last year..

The only thing I've won from the advents so far, is a Rizla travel mug, which I'm more than chuffed with as I wanted to buy a travel mug ready for my partner getting a coffee machine for Christmas from my parents.

I seem to be entering everything and getting just as much satisfaction from posting the links and answers to the ones not yet updated yet as I do from winning. I also think I might have RSI in my index finger from all the clicking!

Hope you're all winning lots! :T

    Ha, I returned home from finding out I was getting an extra £200 bonus from work because I've worked so hard whilst my colleague has been off, to my first Twitter advent win from Stannah Stairlifts! Chocolat on dvd, ace! :)

    Edit: My magner's advent calendar turned up today, it's really nice, and it's dairymilk!

    Have only been comping since the last week of June so is my first year of advents, and I have to say I can't keep up lol :rotfl:.

    1 advent win to date, am off to Harvey Nics next Wednesday to meet my personal shopper and my £1000 spending money arrived today, am still in shock and can't sleep because I still can't believe it.

    Am so grateful to all comp posters as I have had some lovely wins since I started, my children are going to have the best Christmas ever and it's all thanks to fellow MSE'rs.

    Merry Christmas and lots of lucky dust to everyone xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

  • That's one hell of an advent win Becky, congratulations, have fun spending! I keep thinking my phone call from Anchor last week about my £1000 win was a dream too!

  • I've won a pair of men's gloves from M&S Pass the Parcel, and something from Heinz but I don't know what it is cos there's several Heinz comps and the email didn't say.
