    I was looking forward to joining in the advent frenzy 'propely' for the first time this year- but it's not looking likely now!
    I've got houseguests, two family birthdays and in-laws descending on us for Xmas so I'm not sure where I'm going to find the time for everything...


    The 1st day is always the worst, Once you have picked the advents you want to join in you can cross the rest off :) Good luck,

    Looking forward to doing some advents!
    Don't seem to have had much motivation for entering comps lately so hoping this will encourage me.
    Good Luck everyone x

    Frankly I just comp as usual people make themselves ill with this every year, with little or no return, I think my health is more important.

    I have just wrote the same on our 50 Challenges thread :T

    I was thinking the same. I've saved everything that I might fancy that's come up on here into a folder of my own but I know for a fact after going through tomorrow I'll have ditched around half of them.

    Same. I haven't added many as I did last time but I know I will still lose about half of the list tomorrow.

    She is a tiny baby and the breeder says she plays for ten mins then falls asleep! She weighs 13 oz now so a run around the settee is a marathon for her :) I'll pop her in my pocket and carry her around with me!

    Bring it on!!

    I've not been able to do them properly before due to working full time (and life) but this year I'm home for all December a following an operation. What fab timing is that!! (Short attention span though, I'm not going to get bored with them am I?)
    MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL POSTERS!:happyhear
