    I wish I had some walnuts to pickle!

    (take note anyone with a walnut tree - if such a thing even exists in England?)

    Funny you should ask but unfortunately the squirrels usually get them first.

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

    They *should* be ones you enter daily until Christmas Eve / Day :o
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Can anyone remember from last year, you had to answer a load of questions every day, possibly on a timer? Loads of MSE people won maybe a hudl or a kindle or some sort of tablet. We had pages and pages of the answers to all of the questions. Was it an airline or a holiday company?

    "Find Parcel Pete" competition was won yesterday by a Twitter user handle, in ...... 2 seconds!!

    Yesterday it took me 4 mins..

    Today it took me 30 seconds

    2 seconds though, really? Is this going to be another one where programmes etc will win due to it being " fastest finger"

    The Instant Win ones annoy me (Instant Wins in general do) but I can't stop...

    Where are the advent comps? Are they just mixed in with the other comps? The only way I managed to find some was to do a keyword search.

    I have a walnut Tree but the walnuts are not worth the pickling :-(
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
