much less competitions?

I decided to do month ends for the first time in months... is it just me or are there loads less competitions than there used to be... I used to be sat for a day straight entering month ends but that's going back a while ago now.
Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    It tends to be like this each year after advents, companies concentrate on advents/daily rather than a bigger EOM prize.

    it will pick up again in January :)

    I think its just the calm after the advents!

    I think because so many companies ran competitions for advents, that December comps tend to end 24th December, rather than month end.

    January tends to be fairly quiet as well, but it usually picks up again towards the end of the month as the Valentines Day comps start :)

    There has been less and less comps over the last few years, on a Friday I used to struggle to keep up with them as they were posted, now there are only a few pages of comps on a Friday.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    I'm through them for the first time in months! Going to attempt to clear the rest of the board lol - maybe a tad hopeful! Late December is always quiet :D

    Yes I remember struggling with freebiefriday - now I can pretty much do twitter and insta and then the main board too.

    Yes there used to be so many freebie friday competitions... I think I am noticing it so much as I have taken a bit of time out and have just come back so it's not been a gradual thing.
