am i overdoing it-confess your MN addiction!

[happyathome]

oh no!-just spent another 3 1/2 hours on mumsnet today.Feel guilty like i should be getting on with something else,but i'm so hooked.It's supportive,funny,entertaining,enlightening,and you lot are great 'company' to a lonely mum.
at it every day!-do enjoy it,but should i cut it down a bit.what d ya reckon?
Tell me about your mumsnet habits/usage,then i might not feel so excessive! PLEASE!!
if you feel that you are the only one on the computer(the only being on the planet even sometimes) and you see that other people are literally posting at the same time as you,you kinda feel less lonely and part of a 'group' too,don't you?!..it's like a live chatting experience with other mums for me!(not always had net).As good as going out with a friend!

cripes! see how addicted I am. i have been up since 5:30am this morning. Ds is in bed, dd is in bed, dh is out. Perfect opportunity for an early night. But.......here I am again .i must go to bed..... n'nite

DH working from home yesterday. I was prowling round waiting to pounce on the computer. My only chance came when he went to the loo!

Cruismum - that is what I do!!! Lie about being on the bank etc

I am totally addicted - after a sabbatical I am back and 100% addicted. It's embarrassing. I do get worried about the amount of time I am on here...

(although am now sharing my MN addiction with a Facebook addiction)

i have to go on it every morning whilst dd and ds are eating breakfast and watching kids tv then get them dressed and sorted out then have another look i hate it when dp is off work as he is on pc and i dotn get my morning fix. it will be easier in sept when dd starts nursery i will only have ds here but will have to stop morning session as will have to get dd ready for school but will have all afternoon available

Hahahaha margo at lonely mums dot net..
my brother used to take the piss out of me as well

its time to stop when you actually say lol and call your RL friends on here by thier 'nicknames'

it's definately not just me then
thanks for giving your dark secrets away

And I thought I'd got it bad for checking in a couple of times a day, spending half an hour in the evenings on MN and occasionally an hour or two when DH is out for the evening or I require support as a parent!

Wilkie - i have a complete facebbok/MN addiction. I lie to my husband and quickly flick screens when he comes into the room and pretend i am sending an important email! Although facebook now depresses me as i feel so sad incomparison to everyone else i know on it. At least MN gives me a laugh and makes me feel good about me sad life!

I promised myself that I'd do some housework whilst DD2 in bed. But thoguht I'd first get a little update on MN...only a quick look I said.. just a couple of minutes.....she'll wake any minute now and I'm still here. AND I'll lie to DH when he gets home as to why I have failed to keep the house clean!!

I try and try to keep away but I can't it's like the PC is calling me to switch it on a visit MN.

REPEAT AFTER ME 'I must resist, I must resist!!

Actually I am sitting at work and my boss thinks I am typing a very important letter, he he. Probably find out she is a MNer too and is posting as we speak!!

FB x

Hey FB my PC calls to me too

here i am again! What is facebook? something else i can get addicted to????

OMG bad MN day today - got back from pre school and fed DD2, meant just quickly to look s'thing up on the computer and been here since.... are we having a MN anonymous - hello my name's clutteres up and I'm a mnoholic - I have been MNfree for 0 days.

i dont mind doing this when im at work, it passes the time, but i get really cheesed off with myself when i find out ive wasted hour on it, i mean, i could be doing something better - couldnt i?

eating watching tv looking after dc - naaah! Give me more MN [desperate smiley]

DD isn't sleeping too well at the moment and I keep meaning to go to bed early so I kick myself every night when it's 11 o'clock and I'm still on MN! I'm going away for the weekend tonight so I don't know how I'll manage!

what is facebook anyone

facebook is life friends reunited but better and also gives you more information on people you used to know and what they are up to now! Addictive until a few ex-boyfriends contacted me which put me off really. Also everyone sounds so interesting and i can't work out how to make having my life as interesting! For some reason breast feeding and nappies don't crack it!

i get cross with myself when i on late when i due at work early next day

I just burnt the dinner because I was on MN reading about everyone's addictions to MN. Think its about time I realised my own.

i was quite cheesed off today at work, i was too busy to do mumsnetting what do they want, blood???

Feel not bad
Under 30s, no children - posting on facebook at the same time as I'm peeking at mumsnet on a Friday and should be working!

totally absolved me of guilt

used to be addicted - felt sort of grubby. Now I spend perhaps half an hour on mumsnet maybe 4 days per week. That's much better

yes use to be addicted as well but became a "light user" but feek myslef being sucked in again!!
