    I haven't won anything on the advents yet (well I won a pringles speaker but most people got that!), but we're still only half way through so plenty of opportunities yet and there's still a chance they haven't notified everyone from all the advents yet. So fingers crossed! still a bit disheartening though
  • I enter 100+ advents a day and (excluding a Pringles speaker) my only wins have been from Twitter. I think non-Twitter Advent comps are nearly impossible to win which is a shame because they're usually the best! ;)

    What's a win? this is a strange and rare word in my world - I can't even win an argument. ;)

    I enter over 100 advents a day plus the normal ones closing "today". I have won a pringles speaker, some perfume, and some gloves. That iPad is still elusive :(

  • I'm not winning on the advents either! I have no idea how many i enter but i'm trying a bit of everything! (fb/twitter/email/submit address entry) Might have to have a go at the Pringle one, seems many of you have won a speaker!
    Best wins: 2012: all inclusive family holiday to Tenerife, ipad, 100 icecreams :D2013: Honeymoon to Sri Lanka, £100 Argos, £100 Aldo, gold jewellery, Christmas tree 2014: VIP 5 star overnight trip to London incl. meal, Helicopter and £400; £100 TK Maxx, meal for 4, plus second trip to London to the BAFTA's and night at the Strand 2015: nothing yet!! :cool:
    Thank you to all who have posted comps!:beer::A

    So far i've won pringles speakers and some Stella giveaway stuff, but nothing else from advents :(
  • Remember that some of the advent comps won't inform winners until it's all over. I got a wem from last years Haribo advent in January!

    But if you give up you definitely won't win!

    I've been doing loads and won a Trunki Toybox and I did somersaults when I got the WEM as it's been that long since I won anything!

    I won a trip to Venice on the Sun advent calendar a couple of years ago which was rather good. Always live in hope of something similiar happening
