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

eloisemummy

when you realise you've not got at least 4 or 5 days ahead of todays date with you're comping and start to panic that you're gonna get behind due to other stuff to be done (haha)

When captchas reflect what's happening in your real life. For example, my FIL recently had day surgery. The captcha that day was 'PILES'... guess what my FIL was having removed?

True story, I even took a screen shot and emailed it around.:beer:

when you're checking you're emails every 5 minutes in the hope of a WEM

....when you have a pile of books / DVDs/ CDs you have won but havent read, watched or listened to them because you are too busy comping.

when you get a package in the post & your OH asks wht have you won now

Sunny_Saver

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.

When you get home from work and before you even put the kettle on you turn on the laptop to check your emails. And if somebody else is on the laptop you get really grumpy!

Oh, and when your OH runs to greet the postman and asks daily "Have you won anything today?"

:rotfl::rotfl:

When you no longer dream of a lottery win, but an ITV phone call
