  • I'd totally underestimated how long these would take! I'm enjoying it though and I've already had a mini win. A perfect fajita kit from Discovery Foods :j Thanks to OYL for your hard work, you're a superstar, and everyone else involved! :T

    Luck to everyone and I hope there are many MSE winners

    While I was doing the dishes earlier I thought of a few advents I enjoyed entering last year, that don't seem to be there this year ??? Have googled, but can't find any evidence of them running this year, does anyone know any different?


    Costa Coffee (kind of tree thing on FB)
    Tesco Wine Community
    Regent Street Online
    Cineworld (was a Hobbit-related comp on FB)


    Anyone seen any of these knocking about??
  • I was just thinking I haven't seen one for Jean Paul Gaultier or Revlon

    Sorry I just need to vent. I am just getting blank pages on all the FB advent comps.

    I think I'll do them earlier tomorrow.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    I sat down to eat my dinner next to my laptop and knocked a brew over it!!!!!

    Omg, how can I win a new laptop without a laptop?????

    Its a first world problem, found out today my mum is fit and well (she'd been having tests to see if she had cancer) and that's what's important. And at least this solves prob of the advents
