    I love advent time but for me this years offerings (so far) haven't quite hit the mark. Haven't entered for much so do not expect to win much, if anything.
    Also, i dislike how many are based on Instagram. I do not use Insta for comping so its annoying  :D
    Same here, I am not on social media so instragram, Facebook, twitter etc i do not enter those comps and this yesar nearly half the comps are on one of the networks, even all the gleam and rafflecopter ones have a lot of social media requirements

    not won a doddle yet but will see how i do at the end of the advents as its only early days yet

    I am not on social media (I'm not a fan of them) so most of the pages are just red X's. If more and more competitions move to social media networks, I am going to have to re-evaluate whether it is worth doing it.

    Yeah I'm finding the same, I do have social media accounts but I hate spamming my pages with competitions so I don't enter anything that involves tagging people, multiple shares etc.  It's a shame as it seems like about three quarters of advents this year are on socials.  
  • I've hardly done any just a few that I have bookmarked. Main priority is catching up on the main board  :)

    Def more on social media. IG in particular. I don't have a hope of keeping up with them, despite my best efforts.

    I dont think i've ever X'ed as many as i have this year.
    Also, ive got so few in my bookmarks. But it is a good thing as i dont need to spend alot of time doing them!
