Hello - my name is Gobbyjock and I am a forum addict!!
I`ve found myself logging on to this site several times during the working day - always end up looking guilty if my boss catches me (even if I do manage to minimise the screen in time
) I get up in the morning switch the pc on and check the site, I get home at night and find the first thing I do is go on here & check what is happening (much to the disgust of my starving child, dog & cat). My 9 year old daughter even asked me why I was obsessing about Oz & the computer, am I alone this?? - Please someone tell me I am not totally nuts and what the hell do I tell Mr Gobbyjock when he gets home in a couple of weeks (not tonight dear I`m busy having my fix!!) :scared: Do people tend to stop going on as much once they`ve made the move and has anyone thought of setting up Forum Anonymous??

Re: Addict
I can proudly put my hand up and say I'm also an addict- first thing in the morning, before I go to work, when I get home, after dinner, then again before bed. I understand the first step is admitting you have a problem, is someone gonna set up expat forum anonymous?

Re: Addict
Can I just say thanks to those who have sent me karma - I will return the favour as soon as I have some more.
I have to say though that coming on here is a bit a lifeline whilst Mr G has been off gallivanting (sorry I meant working really hard) - It can be a real laugh reading some of the nutty comments and it`s nice to see how people rally round in a crisis (sending karma may not seem much but I reckon it means a lot,
as you can kind of say - hey keep your chin up)
