You know you're a comping addict when.....

TheMoneypit

You start worrying about a possible house move because what will happen about all the outstanding comps which have this address/phone number. How will you get the unexpected parcels if it's not via Royal Mail redirection but courier instead?:eek:

....when you hassle the postman before he even gets to your house to ask if there are any parcels for you!!

....when you drop hints for family and friends to leave because your "tired" then the minute they leave your bang on the comping!!!

Even though you have never won a damn thing, you still keep going....that's an addict.

When you constantly worry because you live in a block of flats which is access via a security gate which only Royal Mail know the code too... what if I've missed TONS of prizes that have been delivered via courier!

When you get excited the company put something extra in the prize, or something arrives that you weren't expecting and it puts you in a great mood as it means someone will get another present for their birthday

When your moving today but youve got up extra early to take a look at the comps board lol !

when you go to a car showroom and steal the comps out of their papers :rotfl:

zombieslayer25

When your mouse is rubbish and you are having problems with the internet and getting speeds of 0.01Mps, but you still persevere with entering.

1. When you don't book a holiday in the hope of winning a holiday.

2. When you don't win a holiday and have to book your own and check the hotel for free wi-fi, so you can take your laptop with you to comp.

3. When you discover that the hotel doesn't have free wi-fi and you buy a dongle so you can comp.

4. When you buy 24-hour wi-fi usage from the hotel and then arrange you day around making the most usage of the 24 hours.

5. When you give Christmas/birthday presents according to what you've won.

6. When you'd rather stay in to comp than go out.

7. When you have to set the alarm on your phone so you know to enter hourly.

8. When all your bookmarks are comp-related pages.

9. When you talk about your 'comping friends' and their lives, your family know who you are talking about - yes Jen, Ed, Mads, Wendy, Dorset Maf!a, Mel, Liz, Mark, Tilly, Russ - I am talking about you.

11. When you can't be bothered to list all your comping friends' names in No 10, because there are too many.

12. When your back aches because you've been comping too much.

13. When you have RSI because you've been comping too much.

14. The amount of times the water in the saucepan's boiled over because you just wanted to squeeze in one more comp before you go to the kitchen.

15. When you get stressed because you haven't comped that day.

16. Sometimes you get 'CBAtocomp' days and you feel stressed.

17. When every time the door bell rings you think it's the postman.

18. The disappointment you feel when you open the door when it's the bloody electricity man wanting to read your meter.

19. The disappointment you feel when it's the postman asking you to take a parcel for next door.

20. When you're writing a list like this and it seems rather endless, but if you're dicking around writing lists like this, you're not comping, so as much fun as this is... I'm going to love you and leave you. I've got competitions to enter. Priorities.

GOOD LUCK everyone.

EDITED: Adding two more:
21. When you are pleased your OH says he's going out... you can comp for longer without being disturbed.
22. When he says 'I'll be home at 10' but comes home early and you feel peed off cos he's disrupted your comping plans.

yep you're addicted Sunnysaver :rotfl: but :grouphug:

me? all of the above :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:
