I am feeling all comped out at the minute after trying to keep up with the advents, usual comps, and Christmas duties. I can't even face entering any tonight so think I will take a couple of days off. Anyone feeling the same?

    There are more important things in life than a competition you "might" win.

    I am too busy chasing a 13 week old puppy to do many comps :rotfl:

    The Advents have been naff :(

    The weather is fab for December get out and get some fresh air ;)

    Must admit I am starting to feel tired. Last Tuesday I scalded my hand with boiling water from the kettle and after suffering 2nd degree burns all over my left hand and wrist, it is all bandaged up and I am having to comp, cook, clean and do everything else one-handed, as well as having to go over to my local health centre to get the dressings changed by the community nurse several times a week! So on top of that and as well as trying to get sorted for Christmas, I do look and feel tired!

    We are over half way through the Advents though so stay positive :)

    Yep, I've been getting up an hour earlier each morning to try and get them done and worst of all I've not won a single thing this month. I've been doing advents since 2009 and never done this badly before.

    For some reason though, I just can't leave them alone:)

    The prizes aren't great this year - so at least we can feel we are not missing out too much if we cannot manage to get through many :)

    Thanks - I cannot do much more as my hand is painful and I have to keep it elevated. Hoping the bandages will be off before Christmas :o

    Yes, stay positive and just do what you can do - day 14 tomorrow so soon we will start to see Christmas lights at the end of the tunnel! :p

    I haven't been in a comping mood even before the advents. My health has been awful since May and getting progressively worse, so many hospital visits and I'm just energy zapped all the time-I've only been entering advents I'd bookmarked and haven't been visiting the main competition board.
    So different to last advent in terms of prizes and companies taking part, it's all a bit Meh.

    I crashed on Dec 2nd, I have among other things CFS & I just can't do advents anymore. On 3rd Of Dec I red crossed the whole lot of them once the room stopped spinning & just doing the widgets & the odd daily here & there, I'm finding Twitter comps less draining too.

    It's hard enough keeping up with posting the widgets to take on anything else like advents, I probably should not be posting them either well actually how I feel right now I know I should not be doing them!, I just wanted to do something nice for the bloggers for Christmas still if the appointment in Jan I've got goes badly then I won't be able to afford broadband anymore so I guess that would be problem solved!
