so........ the advents

pootler

I've only been comping since August. I started bookmarking advents yesterday, thinking, 'Yes, this is doable. I can manage this on top of all my other comps without feeling addicted at all...'.

Then I woke up this morning and logged onto MSE.:eek:

I am very very afraid that my son is going to find me in a corner at some point muttering "can't sleep. have to to advents. and dailies."

I am uber organised though. I have about 100 bookmarked so far but hopefully will delete at least 25% of these if I decide they aren't worth it. They're in 4 folders, and I hope it stays at that:

1. twitter
2. facebook
3. own website
4. MSE - these are the ones that have a daily question, so I've saved the MSE thread.

I agree - last year was my first year and I enjoyed them more - this year I feel more stressed and it is just day 1! I have already unsubscribed from many of the ones I thought would interest me simply because I am not going to have the time to enter them all :eek: Lots of them don't seem to allow Roboform to fill so I am spending more time form filling manually! Wine this evening I think! I've done no housework today - just advents! :eek:

I decided to bookmark the ones I want to enter and have 164 in a folder! :eek:

More keep getting added when I browse the newest threads too!

Mayhem!

i can feel a group MSE comping forum holiday coming on after christmas :rotfl:

yes - I usually enjoy the weekends as much quieter on here. Every time I check MSE, there are more advents posted! Hopefully in a week or so, they'll slow down! I have such a busy month ahead too so it is trying to find the right balance!? I've got my little wine bottle though and trying to relax!

tinktinktinkerbell

just make sure you have a steady supply of wine and you will be ok

im lucky because ive got all my christmas shopping done and the tree is up already, all i need to do is wrap up on christmas eve and do cards

oh but im going to my mates on the 15th, i wonder if i could take my laptop haha

A little disappointed some of the good ones from last year are not running (or at least they aren't yet...) Original Source for one! :(x

Ive got it all separated out - FB, Web, twitter. Dont have that many tbh

OneYorkshireLass

No Original Source, no Lucet Mundi - lots of MSE-ers won from there (me included, rather randomly as I barely entered any Advents) - no Batiste?

Up to 90 advents now, yikes! I was disappointed at first because most of them weren't ones I wanted to enter but plenty look good to me now I've finished going through the list
