Good luck everyone. Seems there is a lot less advents this year or is that just me? Makes it more manageable I guess! Best of luck all

I think so yea, but I recall a lot more being added as the days went on and they where discovered and added.

I came here to see if anyone had added a chat thread :T

Good luck all I have tried to get ahead on main board comps and now starting the advents but many social media ones won't srat to about 9, so this gives me time to have a good browse . and a few cuppas! Have fun all and good luck . :xmassmile

I bookmark them in two folders
the ones that are a a true advent where you click a window I have in one folder and know those can be enter from midnight onwards each day - usually enter if I am up early enough in the morning

the other folder have the ones that open later in the day/need an answer - these are usually answered later in the day when they are all up and showing

One thing I had forgotten was the number of blasted e-mails coming in, not as bad as black Friday but still far more than usual.

OOh ..I forgot to do that, can you copy paste the pure click on advents/instants if you have them? I think they would be fun and "doable" for work days , Thanks

I'm been coming since 7 and hardly come up for air, so many social media and loads of entrys already, eeek. Looking forward to day 13 when some of them stop. I've reached tilt so ignoring the rest . I think I should go and do some housework :eek::o

I feel like I have entered all the ones I want today and it seems a lot less that years before. Maybe it's because I don't want to do like and share! Maybe on Monday there will be a few more I can enter.

I miss a lot of the ones where you have to go onto the website and open a parcel and then enter details! They are much easier to do!


I also miss the M+S pass the parcel!

Noticed a few that usually have advents, haven't got them this year; though I wonder if it may be there'll go for the 12th-24th slots instead?

I would normally just right click from the listings page and add to bookmark

Today I have been dragging them into a new tab and entering/checking if they are true advents etc and then bookmarking where I want them
I use the bookmark method all the time, I try and check daily if there are any I want to enter and bookmark them, I then date order them and enter all that are near closing - I just find this method works better for me
