How long...

[colpa110]

or should I say - how many - hours do people spend on this site per week..and do they get in trouble by signigicant others for being on too long!!??

I think i must spend approx 5 hours per week ... is that too long?? You wouldn't think there
is THAT much to say about our Poo's>>

[lady amanda]

OMG!!!! too many! hahah probably something sick like 12 hours a week or soemthing insane like that!

[wellerfeller]

I daren't even total my hours!!!!:eek:

[ali-s.j.]

I don't get into trouble - but he did text me last night saying "come to bed!"

[Laura(L)Izzie]

OMG only 5! Probably 5 a day haha :)
Yes I get into trouble when i'm not doing something I should, or I interrupt him to tell him something when he's playing ps3 haha :)
You definitely don't spend as long as me, so I wouldn't worry, there's loads to say & read about cockapoos ;)

[M&M's mummy]

Loads and loads but he doesn't complain because I come on when he is at work or in bed. :P

and this isn't the only forum I use either- theres two more I use regularly and one more than this :D:D:D

[Laura(L)Izzie]

Not more forums about cockapoos?! ;)

[wilfiboy]

I dread to think how long... and would nt like to know lol.. Im sat on my own now, so you turn it on but my daughter moans that I come on even though I come on "when Im sat on my own" and my hubbie will often say are you on your doggie forum again x

[kendal]

lol i cant even count how many times a day im on let alone how many hours a week.

[JoJo]

now that's a good question Colin...

la la la la .. not willing to admit I am addicted .. even days when I say I will have a break .. I still find myself on here .. to check up on friends :)

honest answer .... too much :)

[PipE]

Haha!
Way too much time!!! I have had a few nights recently when our wifi has not been working and I've been getting in a right strop! But, as luck would have it, our neighbours seem to have unlocked their security setting on theirs and I can pick that up no problem!!! Phew!! I can be 'on that bl**dy forum' again!!!!

I do try to limit myself ... not very successfully. Its my teenage sons that chant "FORUM FORUM" when they see me head for the computer!!!

I must cut down! Its become something I do instead of reading the newspaper. :D

Hmmm, I spend way too much time on here! The problem is I always have my lap top on and I am studying nearly every night! I check posts in the morning when I have my breakfast but I also check emails, bank account,facebook and another forum. Then I do the same at lunch (but not the bank account). The evenings it is just on continually, it distracts me from my study, but I need distracting otherwise I will go... :huh: :cry2: :smash:

[Pepster]

Ha ha ... I have been on here for the past hour and you've just reminded me that I WAS reading the paper when I got side tracked just having a 'quick look'
It's just full of interesting discussions, I can't help it !

I've just given up doing the house work to find the time for this. I usually check for new posts every morning, lunch time, when it is cold or raining and if there is something boring on the TV. A few months ago I kept getting an error message from the site (Mo gave me the solution), but I had to go to Starbucks to use their wifi so I could keep in touch! My nearest Starbucks is 30 miles away!

[lady amanda]

CARA!!! you drove 30 miles to come on here...lol that is dedication!!!

[JoJo]

In all seriousness I do need to reduce my time on here .. I tend to look on here and think ok I will have 20 mins and then 2 hours later ... oh no dog walk time or kids home ... evening are my worst times .. I prefer my laptop to the TV :)

I have a new puppy coming soon .. so I will be on here less .. but stilll blogging and popping on a few times a week just keep up with all my friends .... I think I will make a plan and try to stick to it :) ILMC plan

[Mogdog]

I can easily understand how 20 mins can become 2 hrs. It's a good idea to have a plan and stick to it ... even if its 30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening (instead of TV).

Otherwise we'll have to set up "ILMC Anonymous"!!!

Can I join??? ;)

[colpa110]

I thinks Cara wins.. 30 mins to get on here is true dedication ( or slightly nuts!!)...I guess we are all on here too much than is good fro us... just as well
it's not pay as you go:)

[Cockapoodledoo]

My problem is that our family computer is downstairs in our lounge and is always on for those 'must just look that up' moments. I've pretty much always got the forum up in a tab and will just check as I am passing, so 5 mins can easily turn into an hour. I do love it though. Maybe a little rationing would be good. :)

We are like that, computers always on! I had toyed with the idea of having a 'No technology' week to see how we would all manage. A woman called Susan Maushart, carried out a six month experiment with her family and it was quite interesting to read about. I would fail though, I can't even stay off here for three weeks to revise for my exam! :o

Too much! Breakfast time is sat in front of the computer checking emails, facebook, ILMC, newspaper headlines. In between clients I'm back. Lunchtimes. In the evening I can be sat on my netbook with one eye on the telly and all my attention on here.

You know its a bad day when there is nothing new to look at or comment on.

Weekend when I'm away its much less... I'm away this weekend :rolleyes: but I still dip in to ILMC. Mind I noticed I missed loads yesterday, so many new threads and I only managed to read through two. :mad:

lol, it's the weekend and your light is green...Caught you! :D

I spend far too long on here. I try to ration myself but I hate missing out on a thread and find if i miss a day then it takes so long to catch up. My name is clare and I'm a ILMCholic!
