Obssesive or Normal DFW Behaviour

DontDoDebtKids

What does everyone else do every day?

Every day I seem to always:

1) Check all my account balances (for which I have Internet Banking);
2) Check Quidco & Rpoints;
3) Check out the DFW forum here; and
3) Read the Motley Fool and, on Wednesday, Martin's tip

Worst of all, I want to DO something!!! Every day!!! But money doesn't move that fast and so I have to twiddle my thumbs for extended periods, getting very frustrated, and then suddenly pay, pay, pay, transfer, think, transfer some more, look up new deal, etc etc.

Any tips on useful things to do every day/regularly to satisfy my need to do things?

I have no tips unfortunately but I am exactly the same!!!!

I was supposed to be receiving some money owed to me from a friend last night. I sadly got excited and planned to bank it and then pay it straight off my credit card... but he rang up yesterday to say he couldnt meet me until Thursday night so I wont be able to reduce my debt until Friday.
What am I going to do between now and then???

Completely normal. I am exactly the same. No tips unfortunately as I struggle with the down time in between paydays too! That's why I'm always on here!

I'm the same too. For a few days after pay day I'm buzzing but then it's such a long wait for the next one... Quidco is a huge obsession at the moment!

Oh well!

No peace for my poor tormented DFW soul

But Quidco, you have to buy stuff to earn points don't you?

I'm obsessed too!

Ahh, am relieved it isn't just me I check my online banking every hour or so, check on here every hour or so, check eBay if i'm selling near on constantly, i'll happily use up a lunch hour to walk to the bank to pay in a fiver (or to queue up and take out a fiver, in pound coins, which I spend slower than I would if i took £10 out the cash machine).
I wake up thinking of the days menus for me and my OH and I constantly have an updating shopping list in my head. Every week before going food shopping and making a meal plan I check all Tesco/Sainsburys/Boots/Superdrug and double check what I want from where (main shop easiest in Sainsburys but I can walk to Tesco at lunch if it's worth my while).

Sad, really, but it's gradually working Makes my working day go a tad quicker and stops me popping over to M&S for King Prawns! :cool:

Yes, you're normal

This is completely normal behaviour for the DFW. :T

My OH always wonders how i can remember so many "bank" numbers for my online accounts. Tee hee.
