    lol I also have to admit looking at my phone to see if i've missed a call! And I get so excited if its a number I don't recognise.... and soooo disappointed if its not someone telling me i've won..lol
    First thing I do when I get home is check the answering machine, any missed calls mean a quick internet search of unrecognised numbers then checking e-mails and occasionally in desperation name search winners lists.:embarasse

    I get my emails straight to my phone but check my junk folder once or twice a day as some go through in there.

    Constantly checking. They all go to my hotmail addy, but I've split them a bit by filtering anything with win or competitions to go into specific folders, also one for mse. So doesn't look quite so daunting - I get hundreds a day as well.

    Prob worse with phone calls, if nipping out for 5 min will put answer phone on. Am home, every half hour or so until about 6pm. It is an addiction!
