    That will give you some idea re amounts & style.

    I'd just pick as many as you can handle then save them to a list on your PC.

    Last year I emailed live links to myself & then worked off the email each day.

    I also never set target re entry totals per day.If I get some green ticks that is great but I do not panic.An entry is an entry,be it via Advents or the main board.


    HTH

    That is an incredible list of advents! :eek: I'm actually quite looking forward to them.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    I`m hoping to do advents this year I done what I found on the board last year but I'd only been doing it a few months by then. I am hoping I will finally get lucky and have my first win but is there anyone who can advise on ways to organise them? I want to do as many as I can but am afraid ill lose track!

    Last year, I subscribed to the advents thread but I also personally created two lists for myself which I kept as a draft email (and sent to myself every couple of days in case I accidentally deleted it - where you choose to keep the list isn't important so long as it's easily accessible for you):

    - One with direct links to the instant win comps, so I could quickly go through each one each day first
    - One with direct links to draws, which I would go through after the instants
    - I'd then go through the advents thread every evening entering any others I liked the look of (and entering there and then for that day's entries also)

    I decided, after reading everyone elses comments, to be quite picky about which ones I entered so as not to get too bogged down.

    I also entered a couple of the large beauty comps (where they are giving away 100 or so of a beauty item each day), so the probability of winning was higher.

    I won quite a bit in December. None of them were amazing, expensive prizes, but all were wanted and welcomed!
    February wins: Theatre tickets
  • Thanks euronorris I think thats what I'll do I do entrr the dailies and I try to enter a few online ones as well as fb and twitter (although I just enter what in my feeds/ news ) that seems like a managable system and my partner has agreed to give me about 1-2 hours a night to go upstairs and enter comps alone and away from our toddler so ill do the advents then I think and try to do my normal comps when he takes his naps after a quick tidy!
