    Eighth Anniversary
    I spent the first 2 days checking the majority of advents listed, but soon realised which ones are giving away prizes I either don't want or wouldn't bother wasting my time on as they are very small value in prizes. My life is not going to change massively if I win a mascara or box of biscuits lol.

    I did a list of Top 20 advents comps that I do daily, and another list of might do ones if I have time. Then I'm doing the non-advent comps instead, as they seem to be better prizes to be honest.

    Plus I work full time and I've got 5 kids so time is not on my side. I only get 1-2 hours a day for comping, plus some nights I'm just too knackered to bother...

    I'm a bit meh about them this year too. I do find them quite hard to find though. I generally don't do FB/IG comps and most of the comps this year involve them in some way. When we had the "proper" advent thread it was easy to just blast through the Web Only entries and pretty much ignore the rest, but now there is no "order" to the MADNESSSSSSSS :)
    (I did start making my own page with links to the web ones but I got kinda bored and gave up :) )

    This is not to take away from CornishPasty or MsDee who both have advent lists ... I just think for me, I need it categorised :)
    I'm really busy this month so wouldn't really have time to maintain an advents list, but I think for next year if there are no volunteers then I'll just do it anyway, even if that means it only gets updated every couple of days as opposed to 42 times a day!

    But anyway, remember there will be advents that haven't started yet, so there may be big things to come (doubt it :) )

    Anyone had any luck yet?
