    I am pleased my chocolate advent calendar does not stop on a weekend :(

    Well I think I have been through all the Advents, and entered any with a half decent prize, I have had more than enough already, back to "normal" comping ;)

    Although I am looking forward to being able to win a "stunning lip balm" :eek:

    What a load of crap the Advents have been this year, very disappointed. :(

    it's the 1500 people that are after 10 real trees on the main page that really shows that people will go after anything

    I am 21+ VAT and I have never had a real Christmas Tree :(

    This year I promised myself I would get a "real" tree so off we trundled to Aldi and bought a 2 foot one for £7 (Well it is still a rea tree just a wee one) :rotfl:

    If that comp runs for a week, then takes a week for delivery it won't be worth putting up before you have to take it back down again :eek:

    I bet 90% of the folks who have entered already have their tree up so why do they need another one, why enter for something you don't need and won't get any use out of it.

    Needless to say I have not entered that comp, my wee 2 foot tree will do me ;)

    The info that came with it said it could be planted out doors after Christmas so I presume so :)
