You are not alone! I resent the time I spend at work because it reduces the amount of time I can spend on here!
This site is my life saver - it has certainly saved my sanity!
Incidentally have you checked out the wide variety of subjects covered on the forums? I have just sorted out the problem I was having with my internet security software by going to the techies board and asking for help.
Anyway welcome and enjoy!PigginSkint's debt free diary

Guilty here too!
Only joined about a week ago but been reading ever since I was given the link to here on another site.
Agree with others though - you open your purse and immediately think " Do I need this? Can I afford it? Should I look at Freecycle for it?"
Or look around the house and think " Now haven't used that for a while, be great for a bootsale/amazon/ebay!"We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Me too; totally addicted. My OH said that I am a bit manic about it all.
Almost feel as tho I know people personally.
What I do find embarassing though is when I log off and go and do other things then log back in I feel as though the "You Last Visited" bit is almost taking the P***. Cos, usually hardly 3 hours has passed.
Not all days though; cos some days I work - oops have logged in at lunch-time:):)0 -

Only problem is,you get really cross with yourself when you don't make the most of something, which isn't healthy. i recently researched a better car insurance deal, but I was too busy to change over before my renewal,
I AM SO ANNOYED WITH MYSELF :mad:
