    you see a delivery van pull up in the street, and assume it maybe be for you? ... :giggles:

    When you start to consider whether comping all day instead of going to work could potentially bring in the same salary (and then putting ipad down, getting up and ready for work as quick as you can)...

    Someone mentions an item in a conversation and you pipe up with "Ooh, I've just entered a competition to win one of those!". I'm doing that far too often these days!
