I end date 2 days ahead & if I have spare time I will knock off some of the last day comps throughout the month & in Nov I do the Nov & Dec comps for the same date so I have less "normal" comps to clear in December - last year I manage to enter more advents than in previous years & won more tooproud gran to 4 lovely boys and one little girl0

That's a great way of keeping caught up, especially with the advents coming.
I may have to copy that way for a little while.
I think the advents are going to scare me though!! :eek:0 -
This is my first month of trying to catch the 30/09 ones. I spent a LOT of time over the past week on them...I better go have a look now actually.I like to make money

Gawd i did my first advents last year spent 14+ hours a day 7 days a week, and won £250! was happy enough with that but i shall not be doing as much this year it just aint worth the tiredness, the stress, the gutted feeling when all i won was that cash.
Im in a very lucky position this year though as ive already won next years holiday and a 2 day spa break so im quite happy to just do 'normal' comps and enjoy having a life at christmas, and seeing more of my family and friends.Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:0 -

Yeah, they do a different comp each day, on top of other normal comps running.
Hence advent, and lots have virtual prizes and things like advent calendars.x

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.
I have done all the 30/09 comps on time.
My problem is dealing with all the wems and wtcs in the next few days!! :rotfl:thanks to all posters

I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this0 -
I would like to thank you all for your posts but I just CAN NOT!!! You have all absolutely terrified me with your talk of Advents :eek:
This is my first few months of comping and so my knowledge of all this exotic talk is limited
But....I am strong, brave and have decided to go into training... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvEnIkz82A0
Good luck to you all in the coming months!
