Just a theory...

Normally the end of November/December is when I'm wrapping down comping. With 3 young girls with various school fairs, dance shows and Christmas parties and a husband at sea I just do not have enough time.

But it occurred to me that if that's what I do (as a semi normal mum, with a no more hectic lifestyle than the average person) then maybe so do a lot of other people and so therefore not as many entries and more chance of winning!!

Just a silly theory but figured I would push on this Christmas (hence why I have matchsticks in my eyes and on my 2 cup of coffee at 11pm :rotfl:) and test it out

Incidentally I won my best prize around this time last year...£500 of Apple vouchers so maybe there is something in it!! :o

  • It does start getting more difficult to find the time this time of year.I work full time but luckily have no young children just a uni student at home so all presents are done. decs up. Just food shopping. I'm not looking forward to advents and might give them a miss this year. Hasn't seemed in previous years any easier to win around Christmas though so i think the majority of hardened compers carry on regardless :) good luck
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)
