That would be me! Although I have been a bit slack of late, busy with everything in general, so I might lose my spot as top poster  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I come on atleast once during term time... more if I have assignments to do... at the moment I think I come on atleast 4 times per day.
I do admit I have a problem.

Well, i check about once an hour, more if I'm bored...like becca. Nothing wrong with getting excited about being a groupie.. I made some dumb post just to get 100 so I could be a senior member. Talk about sad!!!

OK - I think you are truly truly an addict when you are told you can't post any more because you are spamming...  That's happened to me a few times and it is really embarassing, LOLOLOLOL------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep! There are a few of us who have been around since the very beginning (me, Maria [angelnz], Lou, Aimee [angel], and Melz) and there have been times when there are no new posts for days. But the boards are really alive and kicking now which is awesome. Such a great support for each other, and so good because it is 100% kiwi.
I so love working here! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Some days when I am stressed with work etc. I don't check at all, other days (like today) I can't seem to get into work at all and I spend half the day on here...
Today I have been at my computer for 4 hours, and done all of about 1 hours work... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

My name is Anna and I am an OhBaby addict... This is my third time here today and I can almost guarantee I'll be back again sometime before bed!
Quite often i lurk, occasionally I post but I am always here! My washing has not been folded for days, the sink is full of dishes and yet I sit here and read!! I spose there are worse addictions... ------------- Anna and Quinn 10 July 2004 www.quinnariki.blogspot.com and one more on the way.... http://lilypie.com">

LOL So true Anna!! There are much worse things but I know what you mean!! I am still sitting here in my PJ's when I should be making the most of Joey sleeping (he will wake up shortly) but I can't seem to tear myself away... and there are so many new posts to read since yesterday, LOLOL ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm the same - although sometimes i can post and check a few times a day - other time i can go for days without getting the chance to get on here - and kinda dread (in a good way) actually finally coming on here cos i know there will be so much to catch up on and i won't be able to get through it all... which annoys me! lol
I signed up just before Paris was born when the site was just getting started (actually, it was the night before she was born cos i was looking for nz baby name sites) but a tried logging in just after she was born and the computer decided to go mental - so I think i started posting regularly on here when paris was about 8 months old. It has been such a huge help to me. It's great to see so many newbies on here, I think for alot of us, especially during winter or when we are just about to of have just had our babies, and we aren't getting out of the house much - this provides that little bit of adult interaction that gets us through the day. scary to think that i have a pretty decent amount of posts too, not quite, but NEARLY as much as Emma! Although I'm sure some of the new addicts will surpass me soon cos i'll be on placement nearly constantly until march.. so i'm sure someone else will take my spot. lol ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
