Who else is excited?! :j
I have enjoyed them but I must admit I am ready for a break and cannot wait until Christmas Eve when most will be finish!
I think I will celebrate with a large bottle of wine when I click on the last 24th door of 2013!
I haven't done too bad in them either so at least I can look back and think 'yeah they were worth the effort!' I have also been quite organised with my comping this Advent so I have written down my routine to follow again next year. I am going to chill over Christmas and drink wine :rotfl: Anyway I think my poor laptop and mouse need a rest too!

Well, just a couple more days to go and it's been great fun - even though I've been suffering from stress, anxiety, lack of sleep and flu! My husband thinks I'm totally bonkers , but no way could I miss out on the December madness.
Can't wait to find out how we've all done ... a few more big prizes to come yet!

The Advents have been quite good to me this year, but will be glad to relax over Xmas with a bottle or two.
Have been thinking of having a month of as January is usually quite quiet, butttttt comping is very addicting so don't know if I will manage it or not.:xmassmile:xmassmile:xmassmile happy xmas all have a good one.0 -
I will be glad when they are over , I expected a big effort was going to be needed but wasn't quite prepared for just how much of an effort will know better next year, no wins for me from them but I have enjoyed doing them the majority of the time. Will definetly treat myself to an extra cocoa once they are all done.0

Come on them fess up, how much hair/weight/parts of your life have you lost :rotfl:
I only won one thing on the advents but I've enjoyed doing them and I've enjoyed bumping them with links and answers
First couple of days were a stress but once I got rid of the pointless ones I settled into a routine
It's gone so quick though! :eek:
Roll on next year, only 11 months to go :rotfl:0 -
I've enjoyed doing them and won a lovely skincare set (worth £30) so I'm well chuffed
Looking forward to the next 2 days because I'm all sorted for Christmas so can relax a bit more. But it is true, a compers work is never done!
Good luck to everyone for the last two days, although there are a few going on to the 31st/1st so must not forget them, must not forget them....0 -
For me the first week of the Advents is really stressful because I am unorganised and at the same time more and more Advents are being added ! Week 2 is probably the most enjoyable week for me because I have sorted out the Advents I want to enter by now and know aprox when they open (early or late). By week 3, I am still plodding on but starting to wain and by the last week I am literally counting the days till they are over!:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0
