Are you sleeping?

That is what it seems like here right now. There was a lot of activity on the last day of last year but today... I am almost afraid to type as I might wake you up... Everyone has a hangover or is it because it is the beginning of the month? Are YOU here? You do realise that if you are constant here throughout the whole month and not just at the end, it will be easier to reach your payout, right?

I'm as constant as can be still yet to reach payout in a month time...

The one I reached yesterday started adding up last spring if that is any consolation to you I hope to be here often enough to make it more often this year though - and I hope you will too!

@DaddyEvil Oh sorry, I'm afraid I don't know what discussion you're talking about... Was it from a really long time ago? I do know which current discussion prompted you to look for the ghost discussion though...

What? You seem to be everywhere I am sishy! I very rarely don't make at least payout... sometimes I have doubled or tripled payout by the end of the month. I think you just need to talk more and you would be right there with me..... Hmmm... look at the number following my name and the number following your name... I have been here a year and a half. I am rapidly overtaking you in the comment department. (I would have passed you long ago if I wrote my comments like everyone else on myLot does... instead of writing short stories as a comment.) Oh! Wait, sishy! I am in need of some help... I am trying to remember what discussion I was on talking with Top about the ghost that lives at my friend, Leah's house. I told him about the ghost coming in the front door, walking up the stairs and going into a bedroom. I could see the shape of the ghost under the covers, but wouldn't get into the bed until the covers suddenly went flat. Do you know/Can you remember what discussion I am talking about?

This seems to be a regular occurrence recently, with people actively posting and commenting in order to reach a target and losing impetus at the start of the next month. It has always seemed odd to me because I feel as you do, constant activity will eradicate the urgent last minute panic.

Yes, it seems silly to do nothing at the beginning and then rush at the end. If that is how it is then I will go through profiles and catch up with what I missed while I was away instead of just waiting for something to happen.

Buon Anno Diana I am here but my brain is not cooperating and we did not even stayed up until midnight. I fear it's the food. We usually eat so little that a little more is too much.

Buon anno a te Anna! I have been on and off all day waiting for things to speed up a bit as I stayed in today and am having a lazy day but only in the last half hour am I seeing any movement. I stayed up with my new cat in case she was frightened at all those stupid bangers but she was ok and soon settled down when they stopped. I didn't over-eat either. Just spoiled myself with some appetizers which I bought yesterday

@mysdianait We had no bangers last night, everything has been quiet, it seems that even my compatriots in Como have respected the ban. I have never experienced a quieter New Year Eve. Yesterday I have prepared several appetizers, this evening we are only going to eat my tortellini.

I am only here when I can be, not set time of the month for me. no hangover here, a flip of the calendar . I look at is as repeating the same celebrations we just had, but starting over. I feel last year went by quickly.... let's see how this goes

Which is more than I seem to be doing at the moment I have this fixation with the 'no responses' and get side-tracked once I start reading there but as we are in for a cold spell and as my grandson is not coming tomorrow my plan is to be here almost all day and then friday is a holiday so you just might see me somewhere where I should have been already but wasn't

@much2say The cold spell is giving us a break today but another one is arriving from tomorrow and we might get snow here in the north too The holidays were busy but fun and I am glad that from today I am back to a routine again. I won't see as much of my grandson though as he is back at school (and his other activities too) from today and no more holidays until mid April. He is almost 7 now and it is so interesting talking with him!

I'm here for the moment, but I'll probably be spending a lot more time on other projects this year. As much as I love being here on myLot, it's not going to help me reach my financial goals at this stage. How is the new year treating you so far?

Happy New Year! I hope to be here regularly from now on (and not for the earnings but for the fun - hoping there will still be some ) All is well here thank you. Very quiet today and I had planned to stayin as it has also turned cold. From tomorrow my grandson will be here as school doesn't start agin until the 9th so he will keep me busy and is good company too

@mysdianait Oh, I totally phrased that wrong... myLot is definitely a fun site to be on, and I don't plan to give that up anytime soon! I'll be around, but probably not as frequently as I have been. Our oldest is off school until the 9th, too... if I remember correctly, she's about the same age as your grandson, isn't she? It's such a fun age! I'm really looking forward to Wednesday... the toddler goes back to her school then, so we'll have a few peaceful days together this week. Perfect opportunity to plan for the little one's birthday at the end of the week, too!

@mysdianait Well, honestly, yes, an allergic reaction that keeps my eyes closed would have kept me away, too... but even that doesn't always keep me away completely. (I was having an allergic reaction the last two days and both eyes were sealed shut... I had pm'ed a question to someone on here before my eyes closed and I NEEDED to know their answer..... I gently pried one eye open and held it to read their answer and write an extremely short thanks... It hurt like heck, but I got it done!)

I went to bed last night before midnight, I have seen far to many new years to even be concerned about missing one. It is really really quiet here, I may have to go play a game or something.

I would have gone to bed early too as I was tired but I feared that the cat might have become scared when all the bangers went off at midnight so I stayed up to keep her company. I put the tele up louder and she wasn't too scared and fortunately they were over pretty soon and we slept the night through with no problems.
