Need more hours in the Day, especially in October

Everyone has 1 month of the year where it seems to be all about birthdays! October is ours, with Mini Ginger on the 3rd, the Step Father-in-Law on the 5th, Belle and my (not so little) brother on the 20th, the Mother-in-Law on teh 25th and me finishing off on the 26th. I am worn out just thinking about it!
Combine it with working, and a husband and 3 kids, and i literally dont know my arse from my elbow right now!! Roll on my day off on thursday!

Another Day Comping, Another Cheat Discovered

And this is the downside to what can be  a fantastic hobby with fantastic groups of people - the ones that feel they have to ruin it by cheating. It seems to be happening more and more, people using more than one account, people claiming others prizes, it just seems to go on and on.
What makes it worse in my opinion, Is when the cheats befriend the other genuine compers, because then when they get found it, it causes mistrust and upset between those who have been within the comping community for a long time.
They say Cheaters never prosper, that doesn't appear to be the case sometimes, but i would definitely say Cheaters end up lonely.
Its just a shame there's no way to stop the cheats altogether, and let the rest of us get on with fair comping!
