    I love and hate the Advents in equal measure! I guess the trick is to only do those for prizes you really want. It's easy to get caught up in entering them all. I won one prize last year, a Kindle Paperwhite from the Sudocrem instant win so not bad :D
    Thank you to everyone for sharing competitions!

    A kindle is on my 'to win' list (it's very small list!) so I've been entering comps all year in hopes of winning one, so bring on the advents!

    Love hate relationship with the advents for me.

    After a couple of days, kinda have a rough idea which ones are best and have it narrowed down to 30/40 to enter every day. I just forget about the rest and if I'm missing out better prizes then I'll never know.
    Absolutely no intention of giving up an hours sleep or missing out on a pint with the lads to sit and enter for a tinsel wrapped fishslice!

    Swithering whether to post and advent that I've got bookmarked? :rudolf:

    agree with this. you start off doing all of them and within 3 days you've jettisoned more than half of them because of the rubbish prizes or convoluted entry process/non working websites.
