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

Re: I can't be the only one addicted!
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!!

Re: I can't be the only one addicted!
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!!!

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!

Re: I can't be the only one addicted!
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??
