Addicted again!

Erm yes.....my OH creeps up behind me with a knowing look over my shoulder....and my friends laugh when I go out the first thing I do when I come home...log on....first thing in the morning....last thing at night....nellie is sure to be lurking somewhere for a a bit of a lark .
Does it matter ...of course not....no different to reading or texting,meeting friends or shopping at least we are not spending money..are?

Me too. I agree with petallus, after my week away in the sun, I have not checked up on GN much, but as you both say, it starts being addictive once again and I like to check up that I haven't missed anything!!

But there is the feeling of guilt. At least, there is for me. Why???!!! I don't know. What can be wrong with it?

No guilt here, as I have nothing else I need to be doing. I did miss it when I was in Egypt. I check out my ex-pat forum too ( have found another 130 pages of jokes!) my e-mails and Facebook.

If I'm addicted to GN [which of course I am] I'm not looking for a cure. Love you lot and haven't had so much fun in a very long time. And dear Mr soop agrees with me.

Now I really do have to do other things. Back later.

Yes !!!! I put the pc on to sort out my bills but its much more fun on here

Oh yes!!! I came on to check the bank account!

or was it to add baking powder to the food order?

If it's an addiction, which it may well be for me, it's one I'm not giving up. How nice to be able to chat to friends whenever you want to, or to ask for advice for anything, from knickers to divorce! Or just to have a rant at the very moment you need to!

Love it, love you lot. Now, what's happening on GN today?

jing You're as loopy as I am . Just finish this coffee, then I need to go and write some minutes....

Yo! gransnetters!

Yes! Addicted. I keep telling myself to shut down the laptop and go and do something constructive but then I reflect that the constructive things (whatever they may be) can wait whereas on GNet there might be something urgently needing my comments.

And me! Imsupposed to be

1 reading next weeks files
2 making strawberry icecream
3 starting the cooking for tonight
4 making myself a coffee

And what am I doing?

jeni, I'd say that strawberry ice cream could feed another addiction very satisfactorily.

Well it is made with fresh cheddar strawberries!

I feel virtuous because I have already taken a two hour walk in the gorgeous sunshine and now I am sitting out on my balcony with my laptop on my knee and watching TV through the open French windows at the same time as surfing.

Greatnan, please refrain from talking about 'gorgeous sunshine' - simply adding to our pain in the rain (oh! that rhymes!)

I thought you went coral diving not surfing
What's sunshine? Is it available in England? If so where do you get it from? Is it expensive? And can you order it online?

I think I saw some once, jeni, but it escaped before I could grab it.

I have done half an hour on my exercise bike. And I will go out on the real bike later.

So it's not all bad.

There might be a bit of housework thrown into the mix.

or there again...................

Took long hard look at portrait of Pepper. Convinced myself it wasn't good enough for dear number. Started afresh. Feeling hopeful. Needed a wee. Dashed to bathroom [just in time] and couldn't resist a fix on Gransnet. Ha! That's betta!

soop you are so pro-active! Very good!

Um...*soop*, where exactly do you keep your computer?

Computer in room with the piano. Look out over the sea. Next door is the bathroom. We have a wee house...on one level...few rooms...so I paint in the bedroom, with little easel propped on dressing table. Paints on tray on one chair. Water and cloths on the other. The view is looking out to the bird feeders and the ancient forest. Bliss! I'm happy as Larry. Anyone know who Larry is?
