    Snaplinks an add on for firefox which lets you drag open many tabs

    Split pannel means you can have the form on one side and the answers on the other

    Tab counter So I can see at a glance how many tabs I have open and therefore know how many comps I am doing.

    Thunderbird an amazing email client which drags all my diff emails onto my desktop, simple and very effective.

    Roboform full version the best by miles for form filling.

    By using the above and getting my head down, I easily manage 150/200 comps in 90mins.

    ohh and using the Tab key simple but saves so much time!

    With Advents I sort out many folders, which will approx have 100 comps in each and as I come across advents of interest I drop them in there, I last year ended up with near on 600/700 I was doing but it was manageable as the folders made it seem less. I done really well and touch wood will do this year too.

    That's some fab ways to speed up,Good luck x

    OMG some people have done absolutely amazing!!! I have won a grand total of mug & pen from the HTC advent. Plus 3 Stella prizes, but don't know if they really count as "advents".

    I did pretty much everything in the advents thread every day (obviously not the ones for prizes I wasn't interested in, like women's shoes; not sure they'd suit me!), and have a grand total of a £10 iTunes voucher courtesy of the Pringles tree to my name.

    I've never been lucky at these advent ones, especially the instant wins, so I'm not sure I'll bother next year. It really put a strain on me every day this month.

    I could've written that :D I too won a £10 iTunes voucher and that's it, despite doing loads of advents (far more than I intended to).

    I never have any luck on instant wins either :(

    Congrats to those who had lovely wins :T

    Loads of lovely wins well done everyone and I was doing 900-1100 comps a day and one day my most was 1302 that includes twitter I was gobsmacked.

    Hopefully we will all get quite a few more in January when they get back to work because I won quite a few last year in Jan right upto the end of the month so never give up hope.

    Merry Christmas everyone and hope you all have a lovely 2014
    Thanks all the posters xxxx Be lucky xxxx
