    I didn't win a single thing on the advents, bit of a disappointment as I made sure I kept up to date with them - even though I had so much going on IRL I was up at 5:45 every morning to squeeze in an hour of advent comping - but nope, not a sausage!
    They were a bit disappointing overall this year I thought, lots of tiny prizes and even more comps with day after day of tips or offers!

    Yes mansey they are finished, you can come out from under the stairs now, and welcome back :p :eek: :rotfl:

    I only did Twitter for the most part of the Advents and managed to win a speaker :)

    I think those that totally ignore the Advents and do the "normal" comps whilst others fight over the Advents have the best idea ;)

    Congratulations to all winners.

    I won nothing at all. Advent is my busiest time at work (the joy of retail), so I didn't get to comp as much as I'd like, but I do always enjoy the advent madness.
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.
