I do look forward to the Advents but have to admit that come Boxing Day I am so relieved they are over!
And that's just the nice ones that don't end on December 31st!
Not sure if I'll do the advents this year. The last time I tried, I got burned out and quit comping for six months0 -
Christmas is 12 weeks and 1 day away!:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0

Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions. Like BlueBella said, I am going to have to cut out other things if I want to do the advents. I am not prepared to run myself ragged, so something will just have to go.0

Bookmarks/Show all bookmarks/Organise - then click on where in the tree you want to add the new folder, if this makes sense.0 -
I seem to remember last year I tried to keep up with everything (advents, dailies and normal comps) - lasted till 14th Dec and then had to give up on normal comps cos I just couldn't fit it all in along with stuff like shopping, wrapping etc!!
Lord knows how I'll manage this year!0 -
Thanks starrybeethe 'open all in tabs' button saves an awful lot of clicking
I never realised I could do this!0 -
me neither, that's great. I keep my dailies in one folder and this will make them much quicker!
The other thing I learned on here (apart from the Roboform 'no thanks' trick) was that I can use Cntl- to make the screen smaller. I use this for magazine dailies so that I dont have to keep scrolling the screen and that has speeded things up a bit too.0 -
I just put them in a folder called "Advents" and worked my way through them everyday.
I will have less time to do them this year, as I'm working p/t now and I was unemployed last December!Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £24,616.090
