  • Just a reminder - sorry can't be bothered to read all the way through to see if it's been mentioned before - but a lot of Advents don't pick any winners until the end of the month so don't assume you've won nothing from them ;)

    I'm sulking about the Curry's giveaway on Facebook - I'm not funny and no one has ever given me a rubbish present, I've NO chance of winning! :D

    I'm in a wee work bubble, won't get to look at advents until tonight when I give it another go. Got to say it didn't feel like I was bookmarking much last night but I might think differently later on. And I'm sure they'll be whittled down.

    Still excited though - I'm irrepressibly perky, annoying, isn't it? :D


    Make something up?
    Maybe a scooter when you were 27?
    Maybe pink frilly socks if your male?
    Just get thinking, I have already made one up ( not telling ya :D ) and its ready to go in next day or two
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    I am glad the main board has calmed down today - everytime I looked yesterday there were pages of more Advents added!

    Today I have filted through the Advents and bookmarked just the ones that offer decent prizes. I am not going to bother with Advents offering small daily prizes, such as a bottle of moisturiser or a pair of socks.

    I know there are quite a few Advents running from 1st-12th Dec but I bet there will be heaps more starting on the 12th and running to the 24th so another hectic day on the 12th (which happens to fall on a Friday! :( )
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Holiday Haggler I've been Money Tipped!
    I found that some only recognise the email address so if you have a second email address try and enter that and alternate. If you are like me and use gmail, I just alternate gmail and googlemail in the email address bit

    I have decided I HATE the "enter once every 24 hours" Grrrrrr!

    By the time I sat down last night to enter the advents it was late, so there are now some that won't enter again until 24 hours are passed.

    Really? :o

    So are the advent comps just competitions you enter every 24 hours for christmas? haven't done them before :think:

    The start of my twelfth month comping. I recall some of the "old hands" referring back to the advent comps of last year but I am being overwhelmed by the number and variety of comps available at this time of year.

    Thanks everyone for posting these but .....decision time for me - no advents! :j
    Still cracking on....

    I'm very nearly minded to agree with you Defoe. Nearly. Maybe a couple more days. Advents have again eaten most of today with a goodly number of them declaring I've already entered when I haven't, another several not updating themselves from early yesterday, some more where all of a sudden the link leads to nowheresville - I'm wondering just why I'm putting myself through this!
  • is there no stella comp this year?
