I am becoming obsessed with checking up on the forum.  Can anyone help me?  I read everything -  I have to say I have learnt tons, but just can't stop clicking in.  Believe it or not I currently work 8-5, in an office (need to save to be able to do what I want, otherwise I would be digging and planting and feeding and happy).  Dare I say that my staff seem to think I am incredibly busy, typing away, taking in all the e-mails etc, but I'm not I'm checking to see what someone said about water divining, vets and grass.  Is this an illness?  Has anyone else caught it? Have I just lost it all together?

glad to hear it

this time last year, i was the same on the old River Cottage Forum. I was reading everything, even articles that i had no immediate interest in.

But it was because i was completely new to the whole world of growing your own. You soon learn that there is no 100% right way of doing most things, and that you can adapt things to suit your own needs/preferences

but one day you'll suddenly find you know lots of stuff about a broad range of subjects and your confidence about trying things is a lot higher. though there is still no substitute for trial and error - so you really should keep a diary or start a blog so that you can see what you've done/tried and how it went.

I'm the same as you, i "work" 9-5, but i can do it from home, so i don't even have to pretend i'm working and i spend more of my time wandering out to the garden to potter about!!!

don't worry, it's not a terminal addiction, as the season moves along, you'll get busier and have less time for forums

Just keep telling yourslef - there are worse things in life you could be addicted to ha ha!

[The Chicken Lady]

Yes - I click in several times a day and during the night when I am on nights. I don't always log in as I can usually learn from other posts. I must have the same disease as you. Is it an addiction or is it an Itis? No cure for it   but you can live with it  

[Hilarysmum]

I'm on here all the time at present as bad back is restricting my outdoor work.  Keeps me sane!!!!!  On the other hand what better forum could there be to be addicted to.

If I sit still for too long I have to click on here and get my fix. I have learned lots and had many good laughs.

I click in and out as a break between jobs, just been hoovering upstairs, now I will stop and potter in the garden then finish off. I work from home so have to check E Mails anyway (good excuse) and after a phone call from my daughter today, looks like I will be on it even more as she has just joined, Oh, and stops me from eating to have a break

My name's Miriam and I'm a TAS addict too!!!!  I check in every evening.  I don't always write on it, but I'm always having a nosey at what other people are saying.

Thank goodness I've found a friendly informative site that has like minded people - long may my addiction continue!

[Rosemary]

I've spent over 5 days of my life on the forums - how sad is that?

[garden cottage]

I was bought an ipod touch gadget last year, and have just discovered i can use it as a wifi way of using the internet. this could mean I get even worse, music, TAS, ebay, e mails, even dvds while out in the garden.
