    Next year, in preparation for the Advents, I am going to have the following ready to cut and paste...

    1) My favourite Christmas Cracker Joke
    2) My worst Christmas present
    3) My best Christmas present
    4) What I would like for Christmas
    5) My favourite present as a child
    6) Whether I like sprouts or not!
    7) I will have photos ready of my decorated tree and my dog in her reindeer outfit ready to post too!

    After the Advents I will have 'My new year's resolution is .......' ready for the next batch of comps!

  • Yes! Good idea Blue Bella! You always have the best prep lists. :D


    I noticed that there seem to be a lot more people entering this year. Like Smarfer said....2,000 for a clutch bag?! I don't remember there being that many entries last year. #nochance

    Not bothering that much with the advents,last year I spent 7/8 hours a day and I won several Cinema tickets ,then in Janury I won nothing,Embera some compers spend all day entering comps and when I see someone posting OMG 4 wins today I feel a little jealous until I look at what they won and to be honest I wouldn't even enter some of those comps.
    I spend less time now as I have a different job but I still manage about 5/6 hours a day and win 2/3 comps per month,so keep going and you will get the buzz when that WEM arrives.

    Yesterday M&S bank ran a comp for a clutch bag... 2178 people entered :/

    That's very low, the daily for a bit of cheese is getting more than that.

    16,000 and counting on the Xbox UK giveaway :cool:

    You've got to laugh.....no, not laugh. But you know. I'm trying to apply the same logic that semi works the rest of the year - if a good one comes, it comes. I dunno, I think it's a combination of the build up added to the 'But it's Christmas! I deserve it!' :D mentality that can do your head in a bit. At this moment in time I'd be happy with a couple of stocking fillers that arrive in time to go under the tree.



    And I'd be all over the googly eyed stone thing :D

    And I did BUT only because my best mate has just landscaped her garden really tastefully and I would love to demand that it HAS to go on show :D

    I'm nice like that :p
