    When you've worked through from 1st to 31st and then you're working through from last posted time......

    .......and you're refreshing the screen waiting for another comp to appear to enter!

    Or is that just me?!

    ...and when you get a twinge of jealousy that someone else is so far ahead of you...and you wish you could have a few days off just to get ahead!!

    And lastly (cos i should be entering not chatting!!) and most importantly when you get happy emotional for someone else winning something that makes them really happy - I love it as I can empathise with their happiness and I know that it also could have been me!!

    I still find it amazing that I don't get jealous of others wins - happy for them and happy that I had a chance!! :)
    :smileyhea Thank you to all that post comps - may the Comping Fairy return your time and generosity doubled!:smileyhea

    .... when all the captcha's are already in autofill.

    .... when you book first class on the train because the free wi-fi allows you to comp all the way.

    .... the shock when you come across a site where you aren't already registered.

    .... when you think a comp is a dupe but the previous one was two years ago.
