    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 :D

    Clicked into it and realised it was from York Minster and was referring to the real advent and Christmas, not some competition, doh!

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • scared exited dreading it but loving it welcome all you sane people ha ha!! wish you all good luck and karma especially jambodave for the dalies.
  • 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.

    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 advents :o

    Just thought yesterday, I'm really looking forward to them and then remembered, I don't think I've ever won anything off one! :o
