Advent Competitions 2014 - Chat

muppet150

I've found the advents hard work today. After working all day ( tried doing a few on my break) i finally start around 4pm and Start hitting the fb ones around 8pm only to find out they close it at 4/5/6?? ( i was bathing kids and cooking their tea in this time as well) Learnt my lesson to do the fb ones first!!
Will have some catching up to do on the main board so tomorrow im mostly going to be living off caffine.
Good luck to everyone though

Not overly impressed to be honest...

My poota decided to act up yesterday spent this morning trying to put that right.

MSE has been slow and clumpy most of the evening.

Lots of discounts and naff (to me) prizes.

Definitely not as many as last year especially missing the bigger companies with the bigger prizes.

A lot of the comps closed at 5pm, I thought they would close at 11.59pm, I am a stupid o'clock comper

The last couple of hours have been a PITA to be honest.

Tomorrow is another day and a fresh start

My internet has been doing that all day too. All day. It's doing it now - just took 3 attempts to get to this page.

I'm sensing a theme here: I think the Advents are nearly pushing the MSE forum over. What Black Friday couldn't do a bunch of determined compers might :eek:

My t'internet is on the fritz too Not sure if it's just the wireless or not but can I remember where I put the ethernet cable?... can i 'eck.

I did get through most of the Advents whilst I was at work today (shh...don't tell anyone )but no doubt there have been more added since I was last on earlier this evening.

Might just have to give in & reach for the wine

EDIT - Finally online :j:jWe'll see how long it lasts. Now to catch up with the main board & more organising of bookmarks.

Think the advents are rather a disappointment this year, very unimpressed so far.

I've hated it, poor internet connection today, off to London tomorrow for 2 days with no wifi....and I'm kind of glad.

Please can the advents have there own small section? I know you have a list but people are bumping them to add links, i had 40 pages to go through tonight and normally it is only 10! 75% advents being bumped.

I am blaming Cyber Monday for the carp internet ...it will only get worse tonight as we are now heading into Yank time.

At 2.25am this morning there were still 200+ peeps on the MSE comps forum :eek:

Switch the display from "Last post Time" to "Thread start Time" and that keeps the bumped posts back where they started.
