Note to self...

Be more organised with comping.

I have spent most of the day doing 30/09 comps and still not finished. :wall:

I need to get more organised or I'll be useless come December when the advents start.

  • Brilliant note to self!!

    I was 3 days ahead all month and dreading the 30/09....however today my hubby woke my up this morning nice and early and kept my plied with juice and food all day, even fit in 4 smoke breaks(he had them all rolled and made sure I was at an appropriate stopping point) he also took our 3 yr old out on a train journey and kept up with his potty training!!

    Was finished by 7pm...brilliant productive day :T

    P.s im also dreading advents -my 1st year!!
    Target for 2014 - £2014 = £4207!

    Note to self: Must ignore all phone calls, TV, Work, People, Eating, Sleeping and start on December now or no one will get anything for christmas ;)

    Seriously though, I know what you mean, I need to be more focused on comps I want! :/ eek! x

    HarveyBride - well done for getting them all done!

    Nelie - I know what you mean about December - my plan is to get as much as I can done on the main board before December.

    Given up for today but luckily not working tomorrow so I'll hopefully be able to get on top then.

    Omg your post was exactly me today. Only realised that when I search by date in advanced that it only gives you a max of 300.

    Is it like that ever month end? New to comping!!

    That's just freaky! Not the same year?? I'm 80s?
  • Managed to do them in 2 and a half hours.

    Think that's a record for me!

    I always plan to do them way in advance, but it doesn't always happen.

    At the end of last month, i couldn't be bothered to do any.
  • A little tip i picked up was after doing your day ending comps is to do 2 or 3 pages of day ending ones so that there aren't many to do once it comes to end of month ones
