    When you work from home and find yourself hoping your boss isn't looking at your Facebook page!

    Your boss rings you to ask for advice on company competitions running!

    You're in your team meeting (via skype) and the door bell goes/the phone rings and the first thing your colleagues say is 'what have you won'

    You give your outlaws a decent present and they ask 'did you win it?'
    Back to comping after a couple of years overseas
    Good Luck Everyone

    .... when family members start saying things like (and I quote from my dad) love-you-dad-smiley-emoticon.gif :

    'Can you not try and win us some fish food pellets, pet, we go through loads!?'

    Em, I'll try dad, but I don't see that many comps to win fish pellets!'

    He will be posting a prizes wishlist through my letter box next, I'm sure!

    When your son goes to a shop and he comes back with a receipt saying 'ohh mum, there's a special code - I couldn't understand the woman (we've just moved to Wales) but it turns out you can win £200 of vouchers' :rotfl: :A
