    Can't believe we are halfway through already! And loads of them have ended today - just been through my list and deleted all the 12/12 ends, it's looking much shorter now...

    so disappointed with what's on offer this year :(:( I've just been through last year's list and there were so many great advents that just don't seem to be running this year.
    Off the top of my head, Avis, Mumsnet, Dunelm, Motel Rocks, Carpetright, Debenhams Beauty Club, there are tonnes more that I had bookmarked last year but no sign of them now :(

    Good news! : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/71768040#Comment_71768040
  • Entered so many advents and haven't won a sausage.
    Noticed the same winners keep coming up on facebook, time and time again for big money prizes too.
    Trying to work out what I am doing wrong.
    No luck on twitter either.
    Feeling disheartened
    Guessing lots of people feel same . Two years ago I won some nice things on the advents

    I am in the same boat as you, Hertsgirl75. Won nothing. See some people have 2 wins a day? How?
    M&S just had their Mrs Claus Facebook competition when they were giving 500 prizes away every day for two days - I was not even lucky there!
  • I'm with you all on this. 2 years ago I won a fair amount on advents but this year the only thinf I've won is some flea drops for dogs. I can't complain as I've had a win and a lot of you haven't won a bean. Sending lucky vibes to you all and hope we all have a nice Xmas pressie win xx
    New start.... positive vibes
