...because I think I am actually addicted. How often do you come on/check the boards etc?

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 18/09/2014 10:12

Depends what I'm doing - no access at work so less on those days, but generally I'll check on Threads I'm On/Active Conversations a couple of times a day. Don't post much mind you, but read a fair amount. I've been on here a long time, it's become part of the daily routine in some respects.

Too often.

Coughle · 18/09/2014 10:36

Lately I'm on it all the bloody time, it's like a buffer between me and my real life.I think I should just stop cold turkey.I even check at red lights....

Haven't told anyone that BlushBlushBlush

TimeForAnotherNameChange · 18/09/2014 10:51

I flick through my two favourite boards probably hourly at least, but I rarely actually post stuff of my own.

gamerchick · 18/09/2014 10:53

When I take a break I think.. It goes hand in hand with my smokes.. I don't post threads though which makes it easier.

thegreylady · 18/09/2014 10:53

Usually at least twice a day Blush

icanmakeyouicecream · 18/09/2014 10:56

I always have it on an open tab, refresh it every now and hen and have a flick though if I get a chance.

RoseTheHat · 18/09/2014 10:58

Every day - mainly lurking Blush

The phone app makes it too easy to have a quick look.

About twice a year I get really sick of it and have a break - come back with a name change.

MehsMum · 18/09/2014 11:02

Too often - couple of times a day, whenever work gets dull (work from home).

CromerSutra · 18/09/2014 11:08

Too much. I am definitely addicted. I don't look when out and about though, only when home but for hours at a time sometimes!

A lot (too much really), mostly as a lurker,although I am starting to get brave Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 18/09/2014 12:09

All day, every day Grin

minkymuskyslyoldstoaty · 18/09/2014 12:16

few times a day, for the last 8 yrs!

farewellfigure · 18/09/2014 17:27

Another home worker here, so I'm on here far too much. I know it's been a quiet work day when I'm on the second page of AIBU (like today). I don't tend to look on any other days other than the ones when I'm working from home though (Weds and Thurs). I did go cold turkey once but came back to post a question which started it all off again.

mutternutter · 18/09/2014 17:38

First time today but just done tea and having ten min break before starting after school stuff.
A few times each day

Chottie · 18/09/2014 18:48

Every day, there is always an interesting post to read. I've learnt so much from MN.

SaggyAndLucy · 18/09/2014 18:51

not as much as I used to. The main boards aren't what they were!

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/09/2014 18:55

I'm addicted atm because i'm sitting down pretty much all evening.

I put up with much less crap off people now because of it. I just like how most people are super confident with their opinions. Whether i agree with them or not.

neveragainmrsharper · 18/09/2014 18:56

All the time when I'm not at work but I only work weekends. I am addicted. Definitely.

Anotherchapter · 18/09/2014 19:02

I'm addicted. I had to impose a one hour limit as I was ignoring dd and dp that went out of the window after two days.

I'm going on holiday tonight abroad so am going cold turkey. I love this site as is v. Funny, supportive and you can have a bit of argy bargy - god I will miss it >

Ahem --- I may not return.

GreenPetal94 · 18/09/2014 19:15

Once or twice a day, never at work. I'm not addicted, but I am a bit addicted to Facebook.

BendyMum15 · 18/09/2014 19:17

A few times a day as I tend to have a browse when I feeding 4 month old dd.
Hubby says I'm on here too much!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 18/09/2014 19:26

I rarely post when I'm working during the week.

When I'm off work I'm on a lot and post frequently, can't put a number on it.

pointythings · 18/09/2014 21:14

Every day in the evening. It's part of my wind down routine. There's one thread going on Chat that is a lifeline to me in a time that is emotionally very difficult. That said I was away without Internet access last weekend and over two weeks in July and it was fine, didn't miss it at all. So I'm not properly hooked, just - ahem - involved.
