    Well Ive decided to give up on advents and do normal comps first now.
    My order was mag dailies, other dailies, advents, normal comps and I wasn't getting time to do normal comps. Yesterday I did get time and I noticed the number of thanks were well down to normal. I entered a comp for an ipad and there were less than 300 thanks, there are usually at least twice as many as that (unless of course I missed some rule about that comp which meant lots couldn't enter) I think a lot are neglecting normal comps so Im hoping I can be lucky there instead. Ive only won the odd voucher here and the branded thing there (ie pringles speakers) so Im giving up on the advents now, unless I have enough time to enter a few.

    Edited to say that ignore about people not entering normal comps as the thanks for those ending tomorrow seem to be at normal levels, perhaps it was just that one comp.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    I did have a chuckle today when I saw Pringles speakers on eBay, there can't be many people who don't have one who really want to buy one? Of course I was wrong and someone has placed a bid on one!

    Comment from a MSE comper from advent comp for Gu Puddings
    "Thank You all have this saved in my favourites as love gu, just had a reminder email as missed first email which was titled a little bit of festive cheer to say I am thrilled to let you know that you are our Day 7 winner of our Advent Calendar competition! Congratulations!! We had over 10,000 entries so you must have been having a lucky day! If lady luck really is on your side than I think it’s worth buying a lottery ticket today!"

    10,000 entries! No wonder we don't seem to be winning much this year.

    10,000! Where are all these people entering from as the thanks section does not reflect this number at all! I know there is other comping sites out there but 10,000 seems ridiculously high. No wonder we can't win. Thank goodness for the Stella competition, it has made all the hours spent comping a bit more worthwhile.
    Nov - organix hamper & £50 tesco voucher
    Jan - Boon Baby bath frog & bath toys
    Feb - 2 cinema tickets
    March - 2 cinema tickets/3 packs of baby porridge/Coors t-shirt
    April - nothing!
    May - 2 tickets to home show
  • I haven't been doing the Pringles Advent so just headed over to have a look and won!!! A speaker :rotfl:

    This is my first year comping and keeping up with Advents too has been tough but I've been rewarded with a Retro Sodastream Drinks Maker from the Barchick Advent, so I'd say just keep going, and don't expect anything and you may be rewarded, good luck to everyone for the remaining Advent period :)
    Do the right thing.....Because its the right thing to do
  • I've only won.........................you've guessed it a Pringles speaker :D and a Brothers Cider T-shirt.

    I'm only entering about 30 advent comps a day, I don't think I could hack entering 100s of comps a day!
