    Oh my god. You've just uncovered my secret nightmare. And fter I struggled so hard as well to supress the little voices in my head saying "you should be working you know, you'll get found out one day and then you won't be paying any debts back..."

    Best get on with some work, heaven knows I have enough to be getting on with..... :confused:;)

    That's exactly what the little voices in my head are saying! Every morning it's like "I'll just check the DFW board to see what's on there today...I''ll only be about 15 minutes and then I will do some work..." That was at 9am, it's now 4.20pm and I'm still here!
    How ironic would it be if we got the sack from going onto a board that encourages you to save cash and pay off debts?!!

    Quite frankly if all the above is strange and obsessive?

    Who wants to be normal?

    Normal seems to be 5 maxed out credit cards, yor life bought on finance and crippling mortgages!

    HOORAY FOR BEING A DFW WEIRDO!

    For how many people has "being normal" brought them to this site in a state of absolute desperation?

    Also, on the bright side, excessive internet use would probably only be a written warning... :)

    Had to laugh I am sitting here in my underwear :D

    Back to being obsessed I also do pigsback, internet banking, mse and budget sheets everyday. I also like to do either a snowball or mortgage calculator everyday as well, it never changes, but it makes me happy :p

    I am thinking of doing the online spreadsheets someone posted as well as they look like fun.

    Does everyone else love their calculator? I have a nice big buttoned one that I hide so no one can pinch it.

    I went and got dressed when i read that as it made me feel bad :rotfl:

    DO you have a link to those speadshhets?
