It is first proper year in years doing the advent comps, and I know why now. I've only done like 30 a day (mostly the non-social media) and it has become a chore. Hats off to those that enter every single competition!!
I've had no luck over this christmas period, apart from a stork cookbook that everybody seems to have won anyway. Had an alright year though, so can't complain too much
Wishing you all a very lovely Christmas (and if someone wins that Galapgos tour - I hope you take me as your plus one)

I have never won anything on the advent comps0

It is my first year doing advents proper but I was still doing less than 25 at the start, no wins and starting to wonder why I even look at some as they don't have prizes most days.
I have managed to update a couple of them so I got that pleasure.
OP, where were you last year when I was looking for a plus one to go to the islands with? I had to cancel because of the single supplement.0 -
Yeah I'm kinda done with it now0

I love doing the Advents but my brain is melting now!!!!1

This is my 5th year doing them , I have done a lot fewer than normal this year and as I don't use social media at all that helps cut them down. I have still never won anything on them though.0

I was surprised how many advent comps that were around to be honest - with what has been happening in the world I didn't think they would be high priority with businesses.
Another year .I did NOT win a Jet2 holiday!0 -
