    Comping has turned me into a mad woman too :rotfl: My room faces the main road, and everytime I hear a car door slam I'm straight to the window to see if its the postie / parcel van / courier. I've also started constantly checking my emails, just incase there's a WEM. I'm trying to keep it under control ;):rotfl:

    :rotfl:The poor postman nearly lost a finger today. He was struggling to put a package through, so I thought I would help out and pull it through my end but I ended up catching his finger!

    Hoping for a mascara, I opened up the envelope only for a pair of Shrek Ears to fall out :rotfl:That will teach me!

    I think 'doing the meerkat' is the sign of a true comper, as is the ability to hear a van door shutting at 20 feet! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
