    I might have to be selective with which ones i enter then or my kids will think they have been abandoned, that's a crazy amount to do :eek:

    yep, think that's the best way mumto :A
    don't know how fnc63 managed to cope with running the thread &
    prob trying to enter :eek: maybe they'll do it diff this year or split them up between peeps who offer to run them like pcl's done on the dailies, either way i'm going to be selective as well :j:)

  • Oooh that looks like fun :D:p

    Im selective regarding comps anyway. Dont have much time now to do that much comping (lucky if I get my dailies plus another 30 entered) so December will certainly be a challenge :rotfl:

    I don't know if I should be excited or alarmed!!

    Are the advents usually instant wins or a daily prize draw? Or a mixture?

  • just having a look at the advent thread. Ive clicked on a couple, some were offers as apposed to comps.

    So is it just a thread like the dailies then? I cope with them fine by ticking thanks when someone adds a link and entering that way. I never look at the first couple of posts. I make a note of those Ive entered so know to enter them again tomorrow.

    Looks like December I will be spending most of it neglecting my family :rotfl:
