    OMG I got cramp in my foot and pins and needles in one bum cheek this afternoon - just because of the way I was sitting on the sofa with my laptop! Not nice! I ended up hobbling into the garden to plonk my cramped foot in a wet puddle! It worked by the way so if ever you get compers cramp - find a puddle!

  • I do comps as they come onto the board so I made a bookmark folder a few weeks ago for the advents and have kept adding them to my folder as they have come on.

    I've now ended up with 3 folders as there are so many advents!

    Well worth it though as I won a PS4 console on the advents last year!

    I'm quite pleased with myself having red X'd nearly 70 advents after 3 days.

    Finding them more of a pain in the erse this year than any other. Not sure why but probably due to the lack of decent prizes and how so many are now L&S on FB.

    Another thing, I was up to date when I left work and by the time I drove home (30-40 mins), when I switched on my laptop I was back on page 5. I just said "no thanks" shut the lid and went and hung my Christmas lights on the outside of my house in the snow!

    Maybe I'm just bitter that Fish is the Dish haven't offered up a tinsel encrusted fish slice as an advent prize :)

    That made me laugh - exact same thing happened to me last night - couldn't be bothered to find a puddle in the dark though - just suffered:(





    I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one
