    You kinda do need to be at it full time in December :)

    I did say in the Advents post about a month ago to try and get all of the December competitions ticked off before the advents start :)

    If you don't want to see the advents, try this :
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72&pp=20&sort=title&order=desc&daysprune=-1#topofpage

    and use the pages to get to whatever date you want, the advents will all be at the end.

    I did all my computer updates yesterday, Firefox and roboform and it seems to be running much quicker then before.



    That would be useful! :) And thank you.

    Sad thing is, I've tackled IG, WT & FB since 10:30 this morning...and I still haven't been into my bookmarked advents & competition time....:eek: The last quiet week or so of hardly any comps has lolled me into a false sense of security! anyway, Once more unto the breach, dear friends!

  • This is madness.

    Utter madness.

    I've been comping for a couple of years now, but always been working full time during advent season so it's only just hit me now....
    Living thriftily ;) most of the time

    I booked today as holiday from work. I thought I was organised last night with bookmarks etc. This morning, my laptop tried to update and has been frozen all day. I am typing this on an old PC, which doesn't have my bookmarks, nor Lastpass and is reaaallly slow.


    All I have managed to do is a few twitter competitions (no more than a few for fear of being shadowbanned). I went out shopping to get away from comping and having come back, my laptop is still trying to update.


    To top it all, I have an ear infection and had to go to the doctors.


    I think I will just have to write today off, except perhaps a few advents in the over £100 thread


    Good luck everyone
