SJT Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I know I'm addicted as it is the first thing I do when I get up in the morning, I sit with my cup of coffee, catching up with everything that has been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I just likes every single comment so far as they're all true!! I think that means I also have an addiction, though have been limiting myself of as late due to being rather busy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmond8 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 ...it is like group therapy!.. Everyone can relate to what everyone else is or about to go through! I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 ...it is like group therapy!.. Everyone can relate to what everyone else is or about to go through! I love it!! That's funny. Everyone hold hands and repeat the mantra, "We will get through this. Together we are strong. We will improve our lifestyle." Every now and then someone knocks on the door, we all look round, "No, no, sorry, basket weaving is just down the hall." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfie Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Before we came to ozzie upside down land I use to read every thread to the bitter end. Now I pick and chose what I read. Through no ones fault posts do tend to repeat themselves as new families start the long journey to emigrating. Some I read some I even reply to. Most people do not get my sense of humour use to feel a tad upset now I do not give two monkeys. Some tolerate it others do not I am a say it as you see it kind of person why use big words when little ones will do. So I feel now after 19 months of being here I am finally withdrawing from PP can go weeks with out a look but of late I have been popping on and even replying and posting again. But now I have had my fix the ironing needs to be done and bathroom needs cleaning. There I have had my chill after work this morning with my coffee time to roll up my sleeves and get on with it. Life does go on in the upside down land same dishes need washing floor to hoover and mop ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshowdeb Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think we can safely say you're addicted .... and that you might now buy a caravan lol Haha, no way! It's so expensive to transport a caravan, I'm glad I don't have one! Can't argue about being addicted though, I fear I'm now a hopeless case :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou8670 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've had a good laugh reading this thread...unfortunately I am an addict and find if I'm away for more than a few days withdrawal symptoms get the better of me. I also read the caravan thread and I don't have a caravan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesw Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I log on everyday, browse the new forum posts and try to help where ever I can. I also check the unanswered posts, going back to the last 14 days in case there is something I have missed. I also enjoy reading the stories from people who are just about the start the visa process, brings back lots of memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think I am an addict, but if I am home during the day I do switch on to check out threads I am participating in, new posts and unanswered threads. But having said that, if I have a busy week or I go away, I don't get withdrawal symptoms... I just have to allocate a fair amount of time to "catch up" when I get home!

AndreaMB Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Being new to PP I am working my way through it all lol..just wish I'd found it 2 years ago..Onwards and Upwards as they say..Can't get any worse only better but I reckon it will be addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest9824 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Being new to PP I am working my way through it all lol..just wish I'd found it 2 years ago..Onwards and Upwards as they say..Can't get any worse only better but I reckon it will be addictive Glad you have joined in Andrea. I think this can be a very helpful site to many who aren't here yet and many who are here and in the early transitional stages, which can be hard, and lonely. I feel that a sympathetic ear, be it in the supermarket, at the school gates or on a forum, is a great way of overcoming any worries, anxieties or feelings. Better to talk about things, than to bottle then up and then it becomes a humongous issue. There are a few of us who have been here a while, some have made the move smoothly, some have struggled and it's good to know you aren't alone in how you feel, and never be ashamed to admit you aren't 'in love with oz' yet! It can take time especially without family support and home comforts. Maybe you could turn up at one of the social gatherings that will no doubt be organised in the coming months, good chance to meet new people, hear their stories and experiences and share your own experiences. Best of luck and keep posting. peax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs&MrW Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just joined PP a couple of weeks ago and already have a daily routine (2 or 3 times a day) on checking new posts, etc... Best addiction ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
