Comping in comfort!

BlueBella

I am sure I have a compulsive disorder because I really hate it when my routine is messed! For example, I do the dailies and I have to do them in order of Look, Now, Pick me Up, Whats on Tv, Bella, Best, This is Comps, Marie claire, Woman, Womans Own, Womans Weekly! If one of them is not working, it really stresses me out! I'm what you call a comping conker!

I'm always sat in what I think of as my comping corner at my pc. Usually in silence (because I also enjoy the no-kids quiet) but sometimes with some music on to sing along to.

I only drink water during the day usually so I always have a glass of cold water from the fridge on the go. When I sit down in the evening and feel like entering a few extras (or some in advance for month end) I make myself a cup of red bush tea.

I do my comping in a certain order but it doesn't bother me if I do them in a different order. What does bother me is if I don't get everything done in the morning. My enthusiasm for entering comps starts off great in a morning but wanes during the day. So if I haven't got everything done by lunch it's a struggle to get finished that day.

This last week being half-term has messed up my routine and it's all gone a bit to pot tbh I've got to evening and not finished doing the end-date comps fully so I've left them to the next day or even just closed them down. I have enjoyed an hour or so extra in bed though so I can't complain!

I first check my emails then go to the dailies section and work back from marie claire upto chat magazine. Then start from the first page of the regular comps and work back till i reach where i have got up to the previous day. I hate my routine being ruined and can only work one way. But i love comping

I like to sit at my desk using a laptop pushed to the back with a keyboard plugged in and a wireless mouse (however that may change next week when my mac comes) I like to have a nice coffee (but a cappuccino at about 11 from the tassimo) and a bottle of water.

When comping i filter my comping accounts news feed, then the MSE forum until i reach where i left off the day before then just check the forum and facebook intermittently throughout the day.

Oohhh where are the best and bella dailies please?

My routine is do the dailies first thing on the iPad when it is just me and the baby up, then flit in and out all day inbetween school runs, housework, playing, refereeing, cooking, and anything else that gets in the way!

we all have routines...

I have a massive beanbag chair, set up with lappy on the coffee table - depending on ime of day usually in pj's (they are on if i am in) i do Twitter comps 1st, then ending next day if i am organised enough - i always forget the dailies, maybe i should make space for them!!

i comp between school and playschool runs, the gym, jobsearching and interviews

I didn't know Bella and Best did dailies either.

I don't have a routine. I work full time, so maybe at lunchtime, I will comp for half an hour on twitter directly (not from MSE). Then in the evenings and weekends I comp at home if I am not doing other stuff, but no rituals. At the moment, I am doing dailies first, but that is only since Christmas.

I agree! I think that is why I do my dailies first thing in the morning - to kind of get them out of the way because they take so long and are so repetitive (and quite boring!)

Bella and Best Dailies! Sorry I should have said Chat and Handbag! My mind is full of flaming daily mags! Don't know whether I am coming or going half the time!
