How to get yourself temporarily blocked?

[MeNeedShoes]

I am being completely pathetic and spending all my time MNing when I have freelance work to do. I get sucked into MN can't help myself

How do I get myself temporarily blocked from site? And is there a way of getting blocked from main site but being able to reply to PMs?

Can't believe I am having to do this but I have just squandered an entire day reading that bloody cheeky people thread amongst others

We can block you short-term if you like, send us an email contactus @ mumsnet.com and explain and we will take a look.

We can't part block you though sadly, we're looking for an all or nothing sort of commitment here, we've been stung in the past and we feel that you need to either be fully committed or not - don't go breaking our hearts

Obvs, if you need a short break then that's fine

:o

You'll be saving me from myself. Will email :)

You could try Focal Filter. Works for me :)

Problem is if you are procrastinating you will always find another distraction...

Oooh, what is focal filter?

You download it onto your computer and then add a list of websites to it.

You then can choose how long you can block them for - from 5 minutes to 12 hours I think.

If you try to open Mumsnet you just get a connection error.

I think there are also similar products but this one works for me - and it's free.

Sorry, meant to say www.focalfilter.com

Let us know how it goes!
