You can tell you're BR when...

When have convinced yourself that you are actually enjoying the walk to work after having to give up the 2.5 mile drive to do a 3.0 mile walk

Simpsona

When your guests on a Sunday evening sneak food items into your fridge!

When I'm going to cash a giro! (Mind you better off than I have been for ages!)

When my son offers me his piggybank money! (bless)

When companies call to try and sell you something and promptly say goodbye when you tell them your new status!

You empty the final remnants of a bottle of handwash into the new bottle before recycling.

You cut open the bottle of toothpaste to ensure you can get the last dregs out.

that's what I am thinking about because I see my 2 and a half year old running around like a mad thing and I know I won't be able to keep up unless I get a fitter and healthier, we do have a healthy diet mostly, just need some exercise.

When...

Curtains are drawn all day, phone unplugged and the door is always locked

You have a 2 foot high pile of red letters from assorted scum agencies

When you hear a car door shut outside and !!!! yourself in case its a baliff

When every time you go to the bank machine you wonder if RBS have withdrawn your overdraft and you can't get your wages

When you buy from Shoezone

When Farmfoods own brand freeflow mince (98% fat or something) is in the freezer

When Regal kingsize are too expensive

When you pump the car tyres up to 36psi and drive at 56mph, paying more attention to the fuel guage than the speedo

When you find any excuse NOT to have to go on work christmas lunch/night out because you can't put £20 in the kitty

When, after stealing your next door neighbours potatoes out of his garden, you wonder how roast cat would taste (ok that one's not serious hehe, my cat is alive and well, sitting on my keyboard as I type)

When the pre-paid meter is using electric faster that you can feed it

When you fall out with the GF because she takes more than 3 mins in the shower due to meter above...

When GF is unhappy that two jumpers is necessary before I will even look at on switch for central heating

When Tesco Value seems expensive

When you have to take a sickie because you can't put fuel in the car until payday

When u finally realise reality and just laugh at the £30k tax bill instead of crying

.....you're too scared to actually spend any money in case it disappears and you keep making sure theres enough in your 'new co-op BR friendly' account to cover everything (oh and you finally realise why your mother always checked her food cupboard before she went shopping)

DON79

when you are pleased that you managed to shop and feed a family of four for a month for £77! Iceland and Aldi!
