Advent Competitions 2014 - Chat

cagsd

I don't know whether this has already been asked, or even put into place, but I was wondering whether it would be too much trouble to group the competitions into "daytime" (eg. closes 5pm), "evening" (eg. opens 1pm) or "anytime" (open midnight-midnight)??
Last year I'd find myself a spare hour at say 7am, think "right I'll tackle the advents" only to find that half of them weren't open till later on!
I realise this is a massive ask so I'm not demanding it be done, just making a suggestion!

I've been thinking about my bookmark folders....... I probably should get out more

Last 2 years I have used Web A-M, Web N-Z, FB A-m etc but am having a rethink this year as I am going to be really time limited.

I'm trying to go through the Advent thread now to eliminate the ones I know I'm not interested in then when it starts I *think* I'm going to run 3 bookmark folders - MUST ENTER, KINDA GOOD and MOP UPS. And hopefully over the course of the first week I'll be able to get through them all at least once and move stuff around. All the while keeping an eye on the end of the thread to assess new ones.

Ohhhhh - it's like a military hokerashun!

And my plan to get up to date on the Main Board has failed dismally but hey ho, it's only comping *trying to maintain some perspective*

Only 4 more days to go :rotfl:

On the main advent thread it says the haggis comp is not running this year but when you cick on the link it says it will be starting 30th November 2014 - I have been away on holiday so have I missed a change on this one?

Haggis Hunt postponed

It is with deep regret that we have been forced to cancel this year's Haggis Hunt.

The website which the Hunt runs on is sadly no longer up to the job and we are currently looking at alternative means of hosting the event.

We would like to apologise to all avid players who have faithfully logged on each year.

We will try our upmost to revive the Hunt in time for next year and will post any updates on the Haggis Hunt Facebook page.

Can anyone remember the Advent from last year - your entered via a Facebook App and had to search a darkened room with a torch to find the relevant number on the Advent calendar (which once clicked on you could enter to win the daily prize)???

I liked it - searching with the torch was a bit of fun I'm hoping Stabilo run their advent again too - snowballs! And Haribo too!

Is there a Pringles one this year?

Just asking as I need to work out how many sessions I might need with my therapist.
