    How is everyone? Lots of people saying they are bored now? Worst thing is getting up in the morning and coming on here to 20 pages of advents to do.

    I'm bored :D

    that's 'cos most prizes are pants - so spend most of my time opening pages, looking at prize/offer and going 'nope' and closing page back down :( that's even with soooo many red crossed.

    hoping it gets better in second half of December
  • I'm losing interest a little bit...not good when its only the 9th! Have been reasonably lucky. Won on Eastlife day 1 (£25 Hotel Chocolate box), day 2 Applaws (dog food) and day 3 (something for small pets). Nothing else though.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    Due to a shoulder injury & time away I've only just started doing th advents, I cannot believe how much my email has increased since then, probably being paranois but how do they know I'm back comping?

    I felt a bit disheartened yesterday, wondering why I bothered. But I won some flea treatment for the pooch from the My Dog advent :rotfl::j That's the first time I've ever won from them. So it kind of gave me a bit of mojo back.
    DH wasn't as chuffed - he reckons I'm not trying hard enough to win beer :rotfl:
    Noticed a few of the same names coming up on FB again, just like last year. I wonder what their secret is?
    Be Lucky :T
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    hi not done any comps/advents for a week- been unwell but was sadly burgled last friday , hubby has brought me a replacement lappie today , so today am going to try to do some to comps to distract me, supposed i have fufilled one of the comping challenges.
  • Really feeling discouraged now. I have won nothing for months. So many competitions at this time of year, not just the advents, and still nada. Don't understand it :( Not ready to give up yet, as I keep thinking it's time my luck changed, but it really is starting to be a downer.
