Advent Competitions 2013 - Chat
Comments
-
Scrolling through my emails on my phone today, I came across an email entitled "getting ready for advent and christmas", great I thought, another advent competition that might not even be posted on the board
Clicked into it and realised it was from York Minster and was referring to the real advent and Christmas, not some competition, doh!

Won't be able to do many this year because of work situation. I pretty much have to catch up with comps every 2/3 days. Will make sure I enter a select few daily though.
To be honest I struggle to understand them from a company perspective. It seems to me they play into the hands of compers which is presumably what they don't want. Who really knows though.0 -
I'm nowhere near as prepared as I am usuallyproud gran to 4 lovely boys and one little girl0

I wouldn't say I was dreading them. However I'll be glad once I'm about 4 days in, have a bit of a routine going and know which ones I'm not going to enter. Those first couple of days are :eek:
However I REALLY need to get ahead of myself on the main board for me to be able to even think about doing adventsComps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%

Just thought yesterday, I'm really looking forward to them and then remembered, I don't think I've ever won anything off one!“Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” Elizabeth Taylor0
