Who's excited for Advents then?

Me!!!

In the past, I was never 'caught up' on all of the competitions on the board before advents started, so always just felt overwhelmed by it. But this year, I am caught up and cannot wait for them to start! Bring on the utter chaos! Hahaha

    Miss Dee sorry to hear you have been unwell for so long.  Do hope the doctors can help you and you pick up soon.  Take care.

    The idea of the Advents is great  but the reality of entering lots and in my case only one win over the years means I always intend to be very selective with entries and time spent.

    I don't wish to take over this post, but wanted to thank you for the comments and messages, they put a smile on my face in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. 4 courses of antibiotics and some examinations, because of the low vials available they don't want to do blood tests, but 9 weeks of struggling to breathe on and off is really getting to me, think I'll give up with the doctors, as feels like they have given up with me. :unamused:

    Back to the topic... It worked so much better I feel last year, now that the advents have their own section, I just hope with the lack of people posting, that there will be lots posted.

    Wow @redfox5 that's an amazing amount!
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    I have no idea what you are talking about!!  I thought this was about Advent calendars and people being eager to buy them up in the shops!!!

    I believe the chat is about advent competitions which run daily for 12 days or more and this is the post where they go 🥳
