With the Advents just around the corner I was wondering what folks would miss out or if you would spend more time comping.

We all have to sleep, diddle and eat :eek:

So will you miss out the C2Ws, Daily Mags or the Main Board?

Or will you be comping extra hours per day?

Personally I wasn't impressed with the Advents last year so they will be the last place I will go to comp each day and do a few if I have time ;)

    I'll just do the advents and boards. Worked for me last year so sticking to what I know...
    I'm sure it's not normal to keep panicking about how I'll manage...haha

    Last year I got up an hour earlier each morning to get a head start on them and it seemed less stressful so will be doing the same this year. Haven't had many wins on them the last couple of years but I just can't resist them. :) Hoping to do better this year.

    Good luck everyone:beer:

    Apart from the clutter of Advents they don't make much too difference to me as many of the prizes don't appeal, are very low value/are not actual prizes or they are normal competitions re-branded so they are not extra ones.

    I am selective with the Advents - ie I wont enter to win a pair of Rudolph socks or a box of crackers (which probably won't arrive with the winner until mid-January anyway)! And many of the Advents usually turn out to be a mixture of prizes and offers.

    I usually get up a couple of hours earlier when they first start, but after the first week or so, I am usually in a routine and can go back to getting up at the usual time :) I still continue with the mag dailies as I don't do all that many of them anyway. :)

    I will attempt to stay away from the Emmerdale, Eastenders, Corrie, I'm a Celeb and X Factor Facebook pages too - as I can spend ages getting the latest gossip and chatting!

  • I won't be on Facebook as much, my kids will learn to fend for themselves for the month and I will be quitting the housework ;-p

    Lol. Nah not alot will change, I will fit in what I can each day, I work thru my bookmarks before the boards which my advents will be saved, along with my mag dailies, but it will be later in the evening when I reach the boards.

    I'm pretty leisurely and lazy with comping usually :rotfl:
    Should take me so much less time to enter everything than it does, I'm always slightly behind as I enter a few then move onto doing something else, then back to entering a few and so on. Constantly distracted!
    So I guess just put a bit more effort and speed into it, don't think I'll cut anything out. Can't afford to slack on this ;)
