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

Also Im scared to ask, but is Dec really really busy then? Ive only been comping since April (seriously since I found this forum in June).

When you comp by both end date and newest post and you have multiple tabs on your browser open and instead of shutting the laptop down, tell your OH to use the desktop instead because you can't lose your spots and actually put the laptop to sleep so it remembers everything you're on when you switch it back on :rotfl:

I can't be the only one to do this surely? (It saves loads of time instead of waiting for the whole thing to boot up. 5 seconds and I'm back where I was when I left off!!)

Ha ha, new to comping (since May, but properly since June). One win so far (purple cat toy), but hoping for a bigger win soon
I already have a spreadsheet with several tabs - regular comps, tv comps, magazine comps, organised by date and with how many times I entered so I don't submit too many entries... My OH is currently nagging to go out and enjoy the sunshine but I'm too busy entering comps in my pyjamas!

I have a spreadsheet too, but mine is just all comps going by end date. I have different tabs for each month and a tab just for stats that show how many Ive entered, what Ive won and value, how many end in each month. I email it to myself everyday too I like to know where I am, I know I should prob have a separate tab for dailies, but Im still getting to grips with the whole comping thing.

Or you pounce on the phone immediately it rings only to be disappointed it's ONLY family :rotfl:

...when your late to a social gathering - hair dryer in one hand comping with the other..(if you let yourself attend a social gathering) and when bedtime comes you say you have to just finish this one..and enter a few hundred more.

Soz I can't read it all as I'm feeling twitchy as I've entered no comps today yet! :eek: I'm absolutely obsessed with my postman to a point where I almost feel love for him

Yes, & you want to ask them (the family) what the hell do they want ringing up in the day like that! :rotfl: Sales callers get what damn well for off me too.

I am going on holiday soon and am already panicking that:
a) I am waaay behind when I come home
b) I get a WEM that I have to reply to withint 72 hours (eeek) this would probably be a big win as well!
