Addiction to Jumbletown
Hello Jumbletown community
I find myself checking Jumbletown a lot, wondering if I got what I asked for and what is available now. I find it is very addictive and to be honest, I am beginning to get a little worried. Do anyone else feel the same way? Greeneyes |
Yes Greeneyes definitely very addictive, but a good way to make new friends & dispose of surplus clutter
|
Yes, it is extremely addictive... :D
|
I love JT and all my friends on it!
|
Ha Greeneyes, ADDICTIVE is not the word.... its worse than that,
In my life before jt, i would happily be off to bed before 9pm, but thanks to my husband telling me about a site he came across, i have made some amazing friends although i have met only one , i have been given some wonderful bits and pieces that i never knew that i wanted as well as some things that i had a wanted add out for .... bed time has gone out the window, the kids,husband and housework are neglected as i keep being reminded FREQUENTLY... it can be nearly midnight now and i still havent a dish washed as i am pming back and forth to various jters... BUT I LOVE IT, and i love trying to picture what people look like from their jt names, i wish we could have our photos by our user names... How about that for an idea ChrisP... hope that answers your question "green eyes... Summersun |
Welcome to our world Greeneyes :P

Addiction to Jumbletown
Hi there Greeneyes
Yes, it is totally addictive! No housework being done, no dinners being prepared, deprived of sleep, food,etc. The whole family are worried, they're seeking counselling! Even the poor dog is getting worried. She might never be fed again!! But what a great community! Thanks to all, especially to Chris & co. for having such a great idea. Cheers, Katga. |

Hi all. Thanks to jt i've made lots of people happy ,especially my partner . Why you my ask?????? Well before JT i was addicted to EBAY, oh yes now thats dangerous.So not only am i saving a fortune and him lol ,i've made lots of new friends,keep the post office /postman busy,cleared out my attic,shed,etc .So all don't worry about the addiction, we could be doing worse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Hi there, I have to say I soooo agree with this. I only discovered this site at the weekend and I have hardly done anything else since... I cant walk past my laptop without 'just checking' it and that turns into at least an hour... It's totally fascinating... The excuse I have given my other half is that we really need to do a big clear out and I'm just 'researching' the best way to get rid of it!!!
I'm really going to have do do the clear out now though and thats a reeeallly scary thought!!! I am a terrible hoarder, as is hubby, and we have bred another one!!!! We've moved house about 7 times in the past ten years and im sure there's still stuff in boxes from the first move...... HELP!!!!!! |
haha thought I was the only one!
|
If being addicted means checking in every night to see the wonderful restorations, the great green tips, the videos and reading the poetry left by others not to mention checking out stuff for others etc then YES I AM ADDICTED and I have a list of people I want to meet before I head to South Africa. Party coming up in August folks - any addicts willing to travel to Cavan?

Mmmm, now you've started me thinking about a poem.... Come on ahead to both sure we don't mind. I have my suspicions you'd go down well in both places. I'd have a fellow poetry (or limericks) appreciator!!!! Now back to that poem mmmm... |

And I will have what bluecurlygirl is havin We will get drunk and have a ball Will have to be careful not to fall We are all JT addicts, loyal and true We love being here and having a goo We will all party and have a good time And perhaps have a peek online We will dance the night away Until the sun comes up on a new day Then we will take to the bed With headache tablets for the head bluecurlygirl will lead the show New people she wants to know We will have to wear a badge with our name Worn with pride and not with shame The badge will say "I am a JumbleTowner" I am never on a downer My JT friends are the best They recycle all the time and never rest |

good on you Sabrinabray keep up the good work. |

Well well, setting the standards high aren't we. Excellent job. I'll have to work hard at this one now!!! ;-) |
Don't despair - help is near
Oh those who read this thread know the story well,
logged in through the night until the dawn chorus knells Cos the crack is going ninety and the slaggin is alarming And the wisecracks and the poetry are really very charming. The restoration projects whether big or small Are a source of amazement, inspiration and awe. The bmw, the boat, the hats, the quilt - far too many to mention And I hope those skilled folks are eternally proud of their wonderful creations. The craft links are deadly - magiceight you are to blame for my children sometimes being neglected & my house it is a shame... but thanks to you and to all the jters who jumped to my assistance With crafty links, projects & instructions to decorate my house for Christmas (I know it doesn't rhyme - poetic licence ok?!) And the wonderful advice on living green - who could miss out on that? Whether you want your bins filling slower or your compost going great (poetic thingimy again) Tips on ways to help yourself strive towards self-sufficiency and yes that includes a way to make your own electricity. As well as all the above-mentioned traits there is also the green tube Which keeps us amused for several hours - in fact it'd have you glued. There's nothing better than sitting back with all the lights on dim Watching and hearing how beautiful our planet is in that little piece of film. And of course it's always nice to get something on here too or give something away to someone who needs it way way more than you. And to meet a fellow jter is always really exciting because the community here is full of cheer and sound so inviting. The community here go out of their way to get something to somebody else In fact in several cases they're a postal relay service in themselves! The spirit of the members in something really special And the friends you make along the way - even if they're virtual. Well the time has come to make a stand and stand I certainly will For being addicted to jumbletown gives me such a thrill. And if being addicted to jumbletown is a serious "illness" then I hope that it turns out to be something contagious. And so I come to the point of my ditty (and please excuse it if it wasn't too witty!!) That the time for action is coming near For all jumbletowners to say loud and clear "We're jumbletown addicts and proud to be here" And so a meeting is being arranged for a weekend Towards the end of the summer - probably late August weekend (exact date to follow) For any jumbletowners who want to be virtual friends no more A party will be had and you can shake your shimmy on the floor. And you can wear a badge, a hat or a crafty thing or two And maybe let us guess who you are from some little "clue" And I'd love to meet as many of you as I can before I go to African Skies And have some fun and frolics and basically the time of our lives! |
bluecurlygirl.... omg... wow!!! (Well it DID take u hours lol)

Quote:
Chris P and Dave?? |

My tuppence worth -( or maybe my 1c worth after reading your poems n here already!! lol)
JT Last thing at night, when the kids are in bed A familiar thought comes into my head Turn off the telly, and turn the lights down Turn on the computer to check Jumbletown Is there anyone out there, who has something I need? Kids Jerseys, some books from this generous breed? Got a kitchen, some wardrobes, a table and chairs Thank God for JT or I’d be saving for years!!! I try to give back things that people might like Saying ‘time to de-clutter, now get on yer bike’! The banter, the kindness, the poems and the craic With the big ‘R’ around hope they don’t want the stuff back!!!! (LOL) Now print out a poster, and bring it to work Hang it somewhere important, where you know people lurk The more we have on here, the less waste there’ll be To you it’s just rubbish but it’s treasure to me!! It’s nice to be giving – to help people out So if you’re in need, just give JT a shout! Thanking givers and takers, Chris P and Dave, Who are brill in their task to make sure we behave! |
Love it Milky_moo!!!
