Life Before Comping?...

13»

Comments

  • Life before comping...well I used to moan at my partner for being on the computer all the time (he's a computer programmer) and now we are both on the computer! I used to make a bit more of an effort in keeping the place tidy, I used to go out a bit more than I do at the mo' and the buttons on my laptop weren't quite as loose as they are now! I do feel it is taking over my life a bit and that I should maybe turn my computer off and go do something else....but maybe just one more comp....:)

    Sorry to sound so morbid ..... I often wonder what will be written on my gravestone;

    Ms Chocaholic
    Died E:
    Compaholic Till The End

    Perhaps you will have won flowers for a year, to adorn your grave with ;)
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!

    I used to cook meals from scratch, clean my home from top to bottom every week, complete the occasional survey and read the Boots thread. I think about giving up comping now and again when i hit a dry spell but my daughter won't let me! She loves the prizes i win as most of them are for her benefit.:)

    :rotfl: Sounds like me and my DH. He has been entering the odd retweet comp for a while now, but he enters more and he likes that I comp to win us things. He's often saying "so what are you winning me then" Not a lot is usually my answer. He got himself an ipad out of my comping, what more does he want? :rotfl:
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers

    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    Zombieslayer, if I were you I'd ditch him - and give ME the iPad ;)

    Madrabbitgirl - I'm soooo curious about why the 'Z' fell off. What are you typing that wears out the Z? I suspect you and ZZZZZZombie are up to no good:rotfl:

  • I have no idea why! It has to be one of my least used letters! A lot of the buttons are starting to lift. I'll just have to win a new laptop (although I have told my partner I'd win him one...if I did win we'd have to fight for it! :) )
