Not strictly for the DFW board but got to ask :smileyhea :smileyhea

Since joing the mse do you find yourself spending more time on here justifying it by getting money saving ideas.
Checking your subscribed threads for new postings, following up on peoples stories etc...

When you should be doing something else. :smileyhea :smileyhea

I know I do cannot help myself.

Got a son in my ear at the mo desperate to chat to his friends.

In a minute is the usual response.( that was thirty minutes ago)!!!!!

Absolutely! Whole days are wasted on here.

I don't justify it by looking for deals or tips, I just enjoy it! And besides, the closer I feel to the community on here the less I want to let the side down by being silly with my money. Sounds strange but that's how it feels!

Its a perfect diversion activity when I have essays to write or dishes to wash or packing of suitcase to do (all apply right now!!).

But if everyone did what they should be doing there'd be no-one to talk to!

Couldnt have put it better.

My lightbulb is still flickering a lot at the mo.
But every time I think "I know I have still got X left on the credit card balance" i think of here :grouphug: :grouphug:

Hi Messy,

I like the bit someone else said about credit limits - they are a limit, not a target!


I would say, ' I haven't got x left to spend - that is x extra debt I could pile up and I am not going to.'

I couldn't agree more - I'm an MSE bore and love spending time on here - think am getting withdrawal symptons when I can't get on!

Three weeks ago I would have said it was a target and boy was I going to reach it.

Now thanks to all here it has helped me wake up.
That and a Banker (that is a miss spelling of a rude word) of a husband.

Messy, you sounded just like me then. I feel I am saying "in a minute" to my son all the time. My whole family think I spend all my time on this computer. I now have to tell myself if I do an hour of ironing I can go on it. Otherwise the ironing will not get done.

Still what a great site and so glad I found it.
