    Yes, as many Advents finish on the 12th BUT also many will start and run from 12-24 so Friday 12th is going to be a busy one! :eek:

    You just had to pop my little bubble didn't you?! :p

    Hopefully, my list will reduce from over 200 to half, I haven't seen anything about ones starting after 12th.

    Still sad there seem to be a few good ones from previous years missing :(





    (Before anyone starts, I'm not really being mean to BB, it is to be taken with a slight chuckle and big smile please :D )

    Think positive :p Hopefully there will be some good Advents starting from the 12th.

    I do agree with you though - this year there has been too many offers and too few decent prizes on offer. Each day I seem to 'drop' Advents that I have bookmarked to enter daily simply because I don't want to waste my time :(

  • The Vileda comp wants a share as well. My family already think I am a weirdo loser...why share a scrubbing pad? That's just scrapping the bottom of the pan, so to speak.

    (That post makes me seem a lot older than I really am!)

    A week in and I have to say I'm feeling a bit disappointed and deflated. I'm sure the past few years there were a lot more comps with better prizes.... this year I think i'm only entering about 50 a day, and some of them the prizes are a lot less generous than they were last year.


    I'm still gutted that the LEGOLAND Discovery one isn't running, that was my fave one last year, even though I never won on it!
