OK, you all know by now that I have lost a marble or two, but seeing as how this thread is asking for us to confess our deepest darkest comping addiction secret, I will fess up that I resort to singing the Wells Fargo Wagon song. The words vary, but it usually goes something like this:O-ho the Royal Mail Wagon is a-comin' down the street,
Oh please let it be for me!
O-ho the Royal Mail Wagon is a-comin' down the street,
I wish, I wish I knew what it could be!I won a bar of bubbly chocolate for my birthday.
In March I won a Karaoke machine
And once I won an M&S Hamper
And a box of yummy scrummy jelly beansO-ho the Royal Mail Wagon is a-comin' now
Is it a big win or just something from eBay?It could be vouchers
Or make up
Or Glamour toiletries
Or it could be
(finger’s crossed, it really could be)
Somethin' special
(Somethin' very, very special now)
Just for me!
Yes, I know I need help! I'm trying to win some
:rotfl::T:T brilliant
:D:D please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.

Blulu love the words :T
Beware everyone. I took this to extreme lengths. I am now engaged to my postman and we have been in a relationship since 2007 ...... which by pure coincidence (??) is when I began comping seriously through MSE

I don't even have to 'see' anything to do the meerkat/parcel patrol! If I hear a car/van within my 'zone' I'm THERE! Peering through my spy hole on my front door is my usual tactic!:T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0
