Addicted until March.

Help, I keep logging in twice a day to glean any snippets of info and chat. I find I am addicted to this forum and still feel worried about March, will it abate? Tips, advice, sound facts, they all give me a bit of comfort, especially as I know there are others like me on here.
Who is staying on here and who is not looking until end of Feb?

I think you're doing very well to just log in twice a day ! I can't even remember what I did before I spent a good proportion of the day on here...a bit like after you have children. I just keep telling myself it's educational . :D

That's it. No good - you are all totally hooked now.

Look at us! We just turned up for a bit of 11 plus info and here we are sorting out kids UCAS forms!! No hope...

Count me in.

I'm thinking we should start a support group...
11plusexams anonymous. :oops: I'll put my hand up as being in serious need of rehab! (of the forum kind of course)

Well, I think you're doing very well, with only twice a day. Me - I've lost count. Since Saturday, I am completely addicted and I do wonder if this will pass or if indeed, I am going to be wishing the next 14 weeks away!!!

I like the fact that there are parents worrying like me - my DH says "There's nothing you can do now, so stop worrying and talking about it!". It gives me great comfort to know that I am not on my own with my obsessive worrying!!!! :oops:

Now you're just encouraging us Herman ! I wasn't addicted when I kept to the Kent section...it was only when I noticed the wider EPF possibilities that I had to keep popping on...just to check of course.

My downfall was rwealsiing there was a "View new posts" button! Until then it was largely Bucks and a couple of others! That and the fact that I get an email every time there is a new post on a thread I have posted on - I keep thinking I must turn the notifications off! Enjoying getting involved in the GCSE threads and of course it won't be too long before it is the uni threads! Always something to keep us hooked :D

It draws you in somehow.....

And I agree about the 'view new posts' bit.....previously I kind of stuck to one or two sections, now I'm reading lots of other stuff in other areas...help :lol:
