i started at 7.30 this morning and im still flaffing about with advents now lol , keep having to sort and chop and change my bookmarks , and why they all dont just open at the same time ill never know !!! plus begginning of months super busy regular board i feel like crying already and i " thought " i had it in the bag this year and was feeling super smug cos i had been soooooooo efficient best of luck everyone and thanks to the peeps over on the advent board for dong the hard work , much appreciated

I second this. I wish they all opened at midnight and ran til the following midnight!

I was so excited for this as I am just getting back into comping but with a toddler to entertain and a constantly feeding newborn I just don't have the time and energy.
I'm trying to think of a way to organise them but due to different opening times I'm wasting a lot of time clicking links that don't have an active comp at the time etc.

I guess next time I have a spare half hour I will have to try and work out how to bookmark them or something? Maybe I'll just have to subscribe to every comp so I can get an alert and do then as they update with today's prizes or something? :eek::T:rotfl:

Hi,
hope this is the only advent rant as I can't find it anywhere, although I'm not sure the wrists think the same.
Anyhow what happened with:

E: 13/12 Russell Hobbs advent
and
E: 24/12 (daily advent) Trusted Watch - various watches.

I clicked to get the "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Anyone else? Thanks
Promised myself I was not doing advents and got sucked like ...:mad:

I was just wondering the same thing about Russell Hobbs. It has vanished!?

Think I have my system sorted now.

I have marked all the ones I want to enter daily with both the green tick and red cross so when scrolling through the pages they stand out from all the comps I have already entered (just green tick), ones I have no interest in (just red cross) or not entered yet (no tick or cross).

Still feels like it takes forever but means I don't have to read all the thread titles or keep checking bookmarks to see if they have updated. Seems to be working better than my attempts over previous years at the moment. Hoping now the first couple of days are over and I have got on top of what I do and don't want to enter it may get quicker. In 4 years of doing advents I have only won 3 prizes though.

I have two bookmarks - one labelled 'Advents early' and the other 'Advents Late' so I enter the early ones in the mornings and the late ones in the afternoon.

Guys just a question - If you win an advent - do you unofficially count yourself out for the rest, do you think a company would let someone win more than once? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
