Not a Lot of posting today as I am very busy dealing with all my Advent entries ...

Look out for more tomorrow 

Happy Comping

The Advents are Here

As you may have noticed my page has been rather blank for the last few days , This is to do with all of the Advent competitions , There are thousands of them , the only problem is the more you subscribe to the more emails you receive every day . Today I had a count of 193 emails all about Advents ...Great  so I just have to enter all of those and then turn my attention to all of the survey emails I have received ...after that its onto Facebook to find more Advents and Competitions ..

Maybe it's a good idea to ration yourself , I have noticed since Tuesday an awful lot of people saying that they have lost interest in the Advents or that they are just too time consuming . There are ways , try only entering the competitions you really want to win , Some compers enter every competition available , and while they may win quite a few  they inevitably end up with wins they have no use for at all .

Another Idea is to just enter competitions the way you do the rest of the year and only after you have finished move onto the Advent comps ..

Whatever you decide to do here are a few links to some of my favourites so far this year

Favourite Comping sites and Pages

There are so many sites dedicated to competitions which for Compers is a good thing , however , some of them are really impersonal , other than them using your email address to send stock emails there is a lack of real interaction , I , Like many others utilise these sites , the likes of Ninjawin Prizefinder Loquax and MSE all have their lists and if you really want interaction you can email them to tell them about your wins and maybe make it to their winners gallery ...

The Main Comping site I use is The Competition DataBase  , here it's a completely different feeling , Mark & Nicola work really hard to make the site a friendly place , they have now utilised a chat facility so you can chat to other compers and Mark & Nicola in real time ,There are 7 categories

Solar Disco for the Garden ....Review

SuperLED 60 LED Garden Fairy Light String

Date: 20/07/11, updated on 15/03/12 (28 review reads)

Rating: 

Advantages: No running costs , a great visual decoration for night

Disadvantages: none

As anyone who reads my reviews will be aware , I love my garden and buying new products for it that will not only add to its beauty , but also be environmentally friendly are my top considerations .I have in the past bought Solar lighting from money saving high street shops such as poundland they did the job for a while and were comfortable on my pocket .

My husband who is terminally ill , loves to sit in the garden during the day and often stares out of the window into our secret garden of a night , his eyesight is quite poor and he was complaining that he could no longer see the solar lighting .

Being in the care industry I am well aware of the benefits of light therapy for people who have vision problems and went on an internet search .

I finally found what I was looking for on amazon , not only solar lights but a coloured string of lights with multi effects . I decided to purchase 4 boxes ...sounds a lot but for my purpose I needed it to be really colourful . Each box of lights cost £ 12.99 plus £3.50 shipping and handling , luckily the store that was selling them via amazon had a special deal on where you get free delivery if you spend over £50.

The Lights

Early next morning DPD delivered the lights to my door and I set about exploring their set up.

Each box contained a 7.5 meter string of lights , a ground stake , a wall mount ( unfortunately without the screws ) and the solar panel .Each solar panel holds a AA rechargable battery and a full charge lasts up to 12 hours , they are Fully Automatic, charging during the day, switch on at dusk and off at dawn .there is a switch on the base of the solar panel with three positions off / constant / Multi functions

All of these items literally clicked together after drilling holes into the fence and attaching the wall mounts I was then able to get artistic , spreading the lights in arcs and arches across the fences , once that was done it was the simple matter of placing the solar panel which is at the end of the string onto the wall mount .

When using these lights you have two options , you can either have the lights static or use the multi effect which is much the same as a string of Christmas tree lights , Choosing the multi effect mode actually uses less of the energy than having them on static .

It wasn't particularly sunny the day that I set them up so i wasn't expecting much from the lights ...I was so surprised ! at dusk they switched on and the colours were flittering all over the fence , green ,yellow, red, blue and orange , it was like a Moths Disco .

My husband sat in the kitchen for the remainder of the night completely mesmerized by the fact that he could now see the lights with their multi effect working. I have also bought five more sets of lights and had them strung up in my fathers garden as he loves them too.

These lights have come on every night for the last four weeks despite the dismal British summer .We had three consecutive days of dark skies and downpours and still the lights were burning brightly.I am extremely impressed !!

I would recommend these lights to anyone that wants to brighten up their garden , or just give it that little bit of pazzazz , you could use these lights for all manner of occasions , BBQs garden parties etc . Worth every penny of their £12.99 with no running costs .These are a must have for anytime of the year .

I have now uploaded a video , it's a bit wobbly because I took it on my phone , but you can see what I mean about a Solar Disco :)

 

 

 

Summary: Solar lighting with a twinkle for your garden , cheap to buy ,no cost to run .A must have .

A Testing Time ...Reasons to Review

Review for Zanussi Avante ZC168300XA Electric Cooker

Zanussi's Tag Line ' The Appliance Of Science ' is certainly very apparent with the technology included in the manufacture of this Free Standing cooker , the features included assist the user in ways that 20 years ago we wouldn't have thought possible .

First things First .

The size of the cooker the cookers dimensions are 60 cm wide 60cm deep and 90 cm height , this model fits nicely in a small kitchen such as my own . It is so well made that it gives the kitchen a fitted look .

This model comes in 3 colours Black , White and Stainless steel , I have the Stainless Steel model and as you can see it looks like a professional appliance .

What it does

The cooker has a Glass hob with four Induction heating zones ranging from 140mm up to 210 mm , these should be used with pans where the pas diameter covers the zone as the induction heating element will only heat where it is covered .it is also the most energy efficient way to use them .

In the middle of the bottom of the hob there is a digital led display panel with all of the control features to operate the hob and oven , you can set cooking zones and lock the panel if you need to .

The Controls for the hob and ovens are on a slightly raised level there is an led clock display which incorporates a timer , great for when you need to roast a piece of meat just press in the time and when its completed the countdown the timer beeps , it would have been nice if this also controlled the cooking and turned it off , but it doesn't . Maybe that's something Zanussi will incorporate in future .

There is a great bonus when using the digital display control panel that gives you the ability to keep a pan warm , a good thing to have if you like to have extra gravy or sauces ready to use .

There are a further six knobs on the front of the cooker which give you the added option of manually turning the zones on and off and setting temperatures .

The next level down is the grill and first oven , this is a conventional oven which is really easy to use , its a 37 litre capacity which is more than big enough to either bake in or use for a small roast . The grill has a few functions which mean you can choose which setting you want dependant on what you are grilling . The top oven has its own light allowing you to see whats happening inside .

The best part about this oven is it has a cooling function which automatically kicks in when the oven has been turned off and keeps going until the oven is cool again .

Zanussi have turned this oven into a Tardis , somehow they have managed to increase the inside without increasing the overall outer dimensions . It's a real winner , the bottom oven is absolutely HUGE with a 74 litre capacity , I was able to cook a 6kg joint of Pork all my vegetables and a casserole dish of rice pudding in the oven and there was still space .,because the bottom oven has Thermaflow technology you have to adjust cooking times , items cook a lot faster and far more evenly when using it .

And here comes the best part of the science , this oven comes with something called catalytic liners they are magical , basically they collect all of the food oil & grease and disintegrate it , its simple to operate too ,just turn the oven on select conventional oven and then set the temperature to 250 degrees for an hour , when the hour is up all there is for you to do is wipe the base of the oven with a damp sponge .

Some might not like the look of this oven but for me its perfect , it has all of the bells and whistles and I am delighted with it . The only way it could be improved upon is if the timer controlled the heat function and turned it off when the timer runs out .

I reviewed this cooker for the wonderful people at  http://ao.com/   If you are interested in joining their review team , where you get the chance to review and keep products , you should check out their facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/AOLetsGo/?fref=ts   , Becoming a reviewer is simple , just upload a video to their page if chosen you get to keep a product .After six months you can apply again ...Yossi and the Team also do livestream giveaways and  the Facebook page has regular competitions .

WELCOME COMPERS

WELCOME TO MY COMPING BLOG

MY STORY

I entered a competition on Twitter in December last year and to my absolute surprise and delight I won it .My First competition and I won a Luxury Food Hamper which I received just in time for Christmas . This was the Start of my Love affair with comping ...To be honest it has now turned into a full on Obsession , even when I am working , with no internet access , I am thinking about different ways I can make my entries stand out against others .

My First Win

I hadn't realised just how many people were as obsessed as I am , but looking through social networking sites Like Twitter and Facebook I soon found thousands of like minded people .There are so many Groups that you can find and join , the Comping Community is a very friendly one , Most compers will tell you about good comps they have seen and really nice compers set up pages with easy to follow links directly to them .

It's not Just Competitions I also Like to take part in surveys Forums and Product Reviews . This will be a running theme throughout my blog . I will share Pages that are of interest to me , Hopefully you will find them useful too :D
