    Eternal gratitude from me. You saved me from my foolish offer.

    So good luck, see you the other side of January. And don your tin hat soon.

    :D

    Just a thought but when myself and a few others did the radio comp previously to bump the winners name every hour every day....someone set up a spread sheet so a few of us could alter it. Would that work with the advents and that way a few could post and alter where needed perhaps?
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I know what u mean wingo, but only one person can have access to the original post on that thread, It logistically wont work as one person not being around will throw the whole thread, At least with one doing it they will know what's done and what's not if that makes sense.

    It was mentioned last year and I remember getting flack for saying the same then,Think Glad stepped in and explained the dynamics of it.

    Thanks for stepping up JDP. I would've offered but I am also working full time and just wouldn't have the time, realistically.

    It's a massive undertaking, so many, many thanks. I really appreciate everyone involved in getting the advents so tidy. So, big, big thanks in advance! :)

    PS. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask.

    There is no way I could volunteer for this as I work full time but may I please say a great big thank you to all of you who do run the compers boards. I haven't been here through Advent before but can just imagine how hectic that job will be.
