I can't be the only one addicted!
 
My husband thinks I’m having an affair and my children feel motherless.:cry_smile:

Problem is I just can’t get off this forum. I love hearing of everybody’s stories, ups and downs and just the general support, which is everflowing.

Thank heavens for this forum!!!:thumbsup:

Just got to make sure the OH doesn’t get on because we’ll end up fighting over the keyboard plus he reads too slow and frustrates me, hee,hee!!:sneaky:

Looking forward to keeping up with everybody’s journey.

I am finding the lack of exercise and the compulsion to eat whilst on the computer rather a problem though. I’ve eaten three of the kiddies Easter eggs and that’s only today!! Bit scared I’ll need to book two seats on the plane when our time comes!!!!:o

Keep sharing!
Laura

Well, welcome Laura and your OH! Yes it can be a bit of a distraction, especially when you start posting and interacting with the others. Just wish they had a facility like this when I immigrated in 87. Back then all you had was the local library and snail mail. Dark ages eh? So, trusting that you have studied the pre-requisite Wiki section, you can get posting with all your intelligent questions and opinions!!

Talking about addiction - there is Lorna who has racked up 2,313 posts since June of 07, whereas I have been on here since April of 2003 and I have only managed to add 2,213 (now 4) posts!!

However, that will probably change when Lorna gets to the point where she can have a real job for real money!!!

Them Welsh people got lots to say for themselves!!!!!!

(Now I wait to see what insults Lorna can think of to throw my way!! Don't worry - we're good friends - we just like insulting one another!!!

Yep I hold my hands up, I'm addicted. I used to be a good employee, now I'm forever sneaking onto BE throughout the day! Ah well, it's all for the greater good :thumbsup:

Can't promise about the intelligent questions and opinions, as my OH says at certain times of the month I make no sense at all! (Brave man I hear you all say!!!) However when I'm on form I hope to contribute the best I can!

Thanks again for such a warm welcome!!

Just popping back to Wiki to make sure I’ve got the background stuff, don’t want to get a poor reputation so early on!

Hope you haven't got too many snoopy colleagues otherwise you may get outed before you’re ready!!!

Looks like you may be making a move this year so what the heck, live dangerously!

But honestly a really have to limit myself, the kiddies have had beans on toast three times this week. No more Delia!

I think I’ll have to give myself a reward chart:
5 mins online = gotten out of PJ’s, cleaned teeth, etc.

I just want to turn into a hermit and research, research, research!!

Oops, I must remember there is more to life than Canada, really??
