(Not that I use any of them for comping but thought it might affect some compers:)

  • Just heard that too. I rarely use fb either. Use WhatsApp a lot though.

    Facebook is a great place for me to interact with people, I talk via messenger, I am admin in some groups, including support groups and also help with information in other groups.
    I love scrolling through Instagram too, seeing what people have been up to, recently got some wins from there as I have been entering more on there.
    WhatsApp is how I interact with most of my friends, as my phone doesn't always tell me when I have a text, it seems to when it wants to, not sure what is up with it.
    So I'm going to be a bit lost this evening, my emails can have a good clear out though and the house would be sparkling if I wasn't unwell. 😂
    Might actually get to watch some TV series I've been meaning to!

    Hope you all have a lovely evening!
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Oh no, Ms_Dee! Sorry to hear you're unwell and hope you feel better soon!
    I can totally understand that FB, etc, are a really important way of staying connected for people. I've just never really got into using them for comping. (I often see lots of amazing comps on Instagram though so perhaps I should!)
    Have a lovely evening xx
