Never thought I was the addictive type... until now! From January I have been addicted to my tree research, and that was powerful enough to keep me up late and never watch tv! But now, I just can't wait to see what's going down here on General, all my waking hours!! Last friday I should have got my new mortgage form filled out and sent off- but although I knew it was Oh-So Foolish I was on here all morning!! Anyone ever had their house repossessed because of their addiction to these Boards!! I could be the first.. Seriously, before you all start sending me donations, it's not that serious, just a new deal needs sorting this week. Off to do it now! D |

Hi James Seems like this site is getting to an awfullot of people, including me. I started with really good intentions, really i did. On sunday my son had a swimming lesson at 11.30 and i was on the site. I could not tear myself away until my son told me at 11.20 we had to go. (Well pleaded with me as several previous attempts had failed to grab my attention). We did get there allbeit 5 mins late as luckily it's not that far away. The lesson was running behind so it was ok and he did not miss anything. (for the benefit of all those tut tutting) lol. I have had to let this be a lesson to me, so now i am on the wagon and only allowed when there is nothing else for me to attend to. It was turning me into a terrible mother!!!!!!! lol xxx |

Perhaps the owners ITV? should be providing therapy as the viewing figures for their channels must be going down!! James |

Same here - so there's a positive thought, have exchanged one addiction for another! |

I think you are asking the wrong people!! See if you can tear yourself away for a few minutes and go and ask a non-member of GR. That way you may get a sensible reply. It may not be the one you want but it will be more sensible! Jacky :-) |
