MN - signs of addiction!

66 replies

Oh dear, this mumsnet thing is a wee bit addictive isn't it?!

My recent symptoms include:

Dreaming about MN (I dreamt I changed my name to "Mother of all Hangovers", then "Two feet high and rising". Quite impressed I remembered them actually. The hangover is wishful thinking - sadly I've can't have had more than two in the last two years!)

Putting ** around words when I want them bold at work.

When the internet isn't working and I can't get into MN, one of the worst bits is I can't complain about it on MN!

Thinking the words DP, MIL etc

Is there any hope for me?

Is there a cure?

How are the rest of you faring out there?

My mum suggested BFing while MNing was a sign of addiction, but I said nah - everyone does that (some of you do, don't you?!)
