Default Expat addict?

Oops, hubby's had a bit of a go about my addiction to Expats... apparently I don't talk to him when he gets home, keep telling my kids I'm busy etc. etc. The house is a wreck. So, I'm gonna try going without for a week!!!!
Just before I close down for the week (aggghhhhhhhhhh!!!), is there anyone else out there who spends a stupid amount of time on here? Do you all log on at work? If so, do you actually get any work done? :scared:

You'll be back.

happens to the best and rest of us I bet.

Last night my gf rang me up to talk about that most exciting of topics - engagement rings = we are apart briefly - and I had to type really quietly - on my engagement post lol!- so she wouldn't think I was being inattentive..

At one point I was paying attention, and not typing. She said
"Badgers - are you typing?"

"no its my hard drive clicking away Honest!"

At work they're all laid back and I heard one bloke say "he works long hrs on the site, but otherwise he's taking to his aussie mates or something!!"

Hi
yes i am an addict too. I love to hear all the stories, and I have learned so much. My hubby moans sometimes too, but as I told him some knowledge is better than none, he could not argue with that one. So I will keep looking and posting and one day soon I hope to be posting from the otherside.

Thats why you bought the new hoover the other week! I can confirm that Hev is addicted. As I was leaving work yesterday for my 1 1/2 hour drive home she said she would get the tea on. As I arrive home at 7pm I find she's just started ours and the kids tea. Shame on you woman put the computer behind you and get back to the kitchen.

I think I might see if I can get you one of those internet fridges and a laptop for the bedroom .

But hey do I really care

WE GOT OUR VISA, WE SOLD OUR HOUSE
