I set my alarm to get up early this morning and make good inroads on the advents. But somehow I managed snooze it in my sleep for 40 minutes, and got up LATE instead!
I did almost the exact same thing today, how strange!!
Set my alarm for 6:00 thinking I could get an hour in before getting the kids up, hit snooze (or so I thought, actually hit SLEEP!) and woke up at 6:45!! so by the time I'd come down and put the computer on, it was virtually time to get the kids up anyway! Grr!
Am now playing catch up!0 -
I am having a mare just now, all of a sudden FB doesn't seem to be letting me use some apps but not all- one of the ones not working though is the M&S Pass the Parcel which seemed to kick off the MINUTE Facebook started misbehaving. Now my Rafflecopter is also giving me the runaround, having to log in repeatedly and there are not FB or Twitter icons to click on to like/follow, wondering if it's connected to the FB issue.... AARGH. That is all.0

I'm having exactly the same thing happen. I use Firefox and have to do the problem ones in IE. Even then some don't seem to recognise that I've ticked the T & C box so I have to do those in Chrome.Luck is believing you’re lucky – Tennessee Williams

Takes me about one and a half hours to do my advents/Xmas dailies each day. I am a LOT more organised this year and am actually enjoying entering them this time around. Dropped all the advents which only dish out offers or pound shop prizes, which has saved me a lot of time. The first day of Advents is always the worst/most stressful day!
Good to see people winning left, right and centre already.2018 wins: Hong Kong holiday0 -
Thanks marialionza and Barnabysue, just frustrating as the fact I have bookmarked the FB ones means they must have worked before! I think it might be something to do with the Avast! update
will carry on regardless!!

There are daily advents on twitaculous (Twitter retweet comps) and compers haven (Facebook like and share comps) that I don't see here yet.
I can't copy paste and every time I leave an MSE page I'm getting logged out slim not even going to attempt to post them. The sites are linked to from each other and google is finding them easy easy.0 -
