    Took part of yesterday off and come back to 40 pages! Hangover kicking in.
    Jan Wins: .
  • ...alright, so the best thing about the advents would probably be if I won them :rotfl:

    On a serious note though...the best thing about advents for me has been being able to join in more.

    I got into comping a couple of years ago and in that time managed to find a grand total of 2 competitions that hadn't already been posted on the main board before me, with a few twitter offerings.

    Because the advents are so mental, I feel I've been able to contribute more in the last few days than I have in the previous years! It's taken me a while, but I'm starting to feel a bit more confident with this whole thing, so hopefully I'll be posting more going forwards.

    Anyway, just thought I'd post to say a big thanks to everyone for their efforts and wish us all the very best of luck :T
    Living thriftily ;) most of the time

    Do these winners do the 'sob story' thing? FB comps are so hard to win these days - I am lucky if win 1 or 2 a year these days! I wonder how some people win multiple times on FB???
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I hate the amount of "like, share, comment and tag 1000000 friends to win a fish slice" there is on the FB comps.
