I won something a couple of years ago so wasn't expecting anything this year. The chances of winning twice in a lifetime must be less than winning the lottery...and I don't do the lottery
Wow! Looks like I won the prize on 24th Dec - feel so chuffed (you can never have too many tents!). Thanks to all of you that organise this fantastic advent calendar.
I love the advent calendar - it’s not the winning, it’s the taking part
Would be very excited if I did ever win something though! I even feel pleased when the winner is someone I “know” as a contributor to these message forums.

I cannot believe I missed yesterday! I have done every day this month but never even logged on to anything! How thick is that!
From days 1-24, for every day you enter, it gives you a free entry into the final star prize/xmas day draw. There is no specific on-the-day entry on the 25th itself, therefore you missed nothing, and had the maximum 24 chances of winning on day 25.
You are thick no more... or wouldn't have been, if you had kept quiet!

Well I didn't win this year, but after seeing the pop up tent on day 22 (I think) it tempted me to order it and so DW ordered one for my xmas prezzie.here Arrived (Thanks Olpro) whipped it up in front room in seconds. So when we get a guarantee for sunshine for a couple of days from the weatherman. It will get chucked in the car with a minimum of gear and just head off for an instant 1 or 2 nighter at a campsite (no pre booking) near somewhere we want to visit. Well thats the plan anyway We could just fit the air bed in the tent,but not much else. So living out of the back of the car. We will see

You're fibbing...it says in your profile you haven't been camping at all in 2019, Mucker.
Ah... That's because I was in my new tent... The Vango Incognito!
That's a real shame, I'm sure with 50 nights away in 2019 you've got lots of experience of sites which could help other users if you managed to leave a few reviews Mucker !
Just a final post to say thank you to everyone who joined in the Advent Calendar, we hope you had fun , and congratulations to all the winners!

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Geoff, so it went up in seconds … how long did it take for you to manage to put it back down and in bag?
