.........in my comping addiction.
I've won a really fab, luxury trip to London in December and I'm worried about missing advents :eek:
My husband says we can take the laptop and use the hotel Wi-Fi but that's not the point!
I think I'm broken :rotfl::rotfl:

In fact its been so much easier as I dont have a little un wanting my attention and the laptop haha!! I am also lucky that OH has a friend staying this week so hes less bothered just seeing my eyes peeping out from over the screen!!2018 WINS: Gin & Chocolate Hamper*Kids Shoes*Sudocrem Goodeybag*Malvern Spring Festival Tickets*Kids's Book* Bosch Soundboxx*Board Game*Friction Free Shave Subscription*Splash Out Ball*Blackberry Farm Tickets* Tickets to Chessington *Cat Treats*Seed Mix*Contour Next One *Majestic Wine Gift Card*£500 Lakeland Bundle*Shorn Wine Pouch0

I am living in a hell-hole with the most abusive neighbours ever.......I have been told I may be able to move in December which would mean no internet in December and possibly into January while I change houses....and the thing I am worried about the most is missing competitions over the xmas period!0

Perhaps your new neighbours will be really nice and let you borrow there broadband? Our neighbours where great when we moved and gave us the passwords to theres so we had internet for a few weeks2018 WINS: Gin & Chocolate Hamper*Kids Shoes*Sudocrem Goodeybag*Malvern Spring Festival Tickets*Kids's Book* Bosch Soundboxx*Board Game*Friction Free Shave Subscription*Splash Out Ball*Blackberry Farm Tickets* Tickets to Chessington *Cat Treats*Seed Mix*Contour Next One *Majestic Wine Gift Card*£500 Lakeland Bundle*Shorn Wine Pouch0 -
I had a 'lightbulb' moment yesterday, it suddenly occurred to me that my comping had gone from being something that I did 'around' real life to something that I fitted real life around. That can't be good? No more, if they don't get done, they don't get done. There's always new ones coming along, maybe I'll do those....or maybe I won't. I wonder how long that will last?Luck is believing you’re lucky – Tennessee Williams

I haven't comped in 10 days, so I think it's safe to say I'm not addicted, thank god. You have my sympathies though, it can take over your life :sad:0

That's really nice of your neighbours for doing that.
My mum, who recently got into entering comps herself, is thinking of getting her own broadband
Hopefully she will in the next few weeks and I can just pop round hers everyday I don't have mine!0 -

Just come back today from two weeks in Caribbean and I was using the free Wi-Fi to enter comps! Whilst my one year old was asleep in room at lunchtime I would stay with her and bash a few in.
I feel obliged to enter a few whilst away, well I did win this holiday ...thanks to all posters

I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this0 -
Not that I'm admitting to being addicted. I'm not at that stage yet (of admitting it), but when I moved here a year ago, I bought a dongle with pay as you go, so I could carry on comping (Ooh, Matron - sorry, had to be said.) It was great, and not that expensive to use and really easy. Just plugged into my computer and it picked up on whatever free to use signals were around. Perhaps when you know where you're moving to, check in the shop before you buy. They can type your postcode in and see if it's likely to work in your area.
