    I'm tired already! then again have been up since five this morning so...
    Way to many already, even weeding some out hasn't knocked that many off and not all are open yet! and my poor laptop has crashed twice today. I'm off for a sleep now :/

    I've bookmarked nearly 80!, I've discarded I don't how many and new ones are still appearing. This is doing my head in I need to start on that bottle of mulled wine I got for Christmas. Big Thank you to all the posters.

    I have just put all of the competitions from Sleepy Jones' Advent thread into a bookmark with the intention of going through them sometime :rotfl:

    I know there are more being added all the time, but as of 5pm on Tuesday 1st December how many Advent comps do you think there are?

    Have a guess ;)

    That feeling when you accidentally delete an advent thread from your bookmarks and you have absolutely no idea which one it was.

    On Chrome you can click the 3 bars in the top right corner and click recently deleted and bring it back ;)

  • Have seen some of you saying you are doing a spreadsheet to organise them...anyone care to divulge how you've organised it? My first adverts year and I'm not sure what I'm doing yet!

    Hasn't been too bad for me today though I have been very selective with what I have decided to enter.

    I was up with the larks this morning so must admit my eyes are feeling sleepy this evening! I am going to have half a bottle of wine whilst watching the soaps and I'm a Celeb then bed! :)
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I've come to the conclusion that there is no way I'm going to keep up with advents this year, so I'm not stressing about them.
    For the past 3 years I've had a bit of time on my hands and have somehow managed to keep up a routine every day, and during that whole time I won: a Pringles speaker, a naff HTC mug & pen set, and a box of chocolates with 8 little chocolates in.
    This year I'm rushed off my feet as I'm spending a lot more time caring for my elderly mum so I just don't have the luxury of spare time to devote to advents. I even struggle to keep up with the main board, and mag dailies have all but gone by the wayside.
    But, I think I feel calmer knowing that I'm not stressing to fit them all in. If I come across a few during a normal day then I'll still enter them but I'm not making folders and suchlike, nor panicking over keeping up with the new ones that are constantly being added.

    I think I've found an unposted one because I can't find it on search. Does it look familiar to anyone? I haven't posted it up. If it's new, please go ahead and do it.
