  • Spreadsheets? Check - in fact I spend my evenings dreaming up new ideas for my spreadsheets. Two-year graph, anyone?

    Daily internet bank check? Check.

    Big jar for spare change? Check. With spreadsheet (naturally) and stock of plastic bags for taking to bank as and when opportunity arises.

    Pigsback clicking? Check.

    Alarm clock set to an hour early on payday so that I can check my pay and pay my bills? Check.

    Weekly debt repayments set up months in advance on interbank? Check.

    I'm an addict. I even keep my vitamin pills by my 'puter so that I remember to take them every day - well, you have to stay healthy while being a DWFer!
    :eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:

  • I'm a normal DFW'er by the sounds of it :D I pour over my spreadsheets (I have a tab for each month from now until my DFD) and tinker with the numbers to see what can be done in the future. My current obession is to work out much mortgage lenders will lend once we are debt free - so we can begin a new, fresh debt free life somewhere else.

    High five other DFW'ers
  • Hurray - I'm normal :D:D
    My OH thinks I'm obsessed with this site - really I'm just obsessed with becoming DF! And yes, I too check EVERYTHING at least once everyday and am just itching for pay day or any extra cash to chuck at those debts. Isn't this what is required to be a DFW nerd? A nerd and proud! :cool: :money:
    You - only you- will have stars that can laugh :rotfl:

    Is there a way to join pigsback and quidco to get the most points starting off?
  • Hmmm.... I stayed at home yesterday (no internet there) to get some work done - good job as I've spent most of today on here. Oooops!

  • I can tell I've got the DFW bug today.

    I finished work at 5.30, and had to visit Tesco and the library - both 10 minutes away but the library the most obvious first point of call. Tesco parking free, library charges 50p an hour til after 6pm.

    So, I went to Tesco's first in order to reach the library after 6 and therefore not pay for parking!!! It would never have crossed my mind before my LBM!!

  • What on earth are we all going to do when we've nothing left to pay back? How will we get our 'fix'?!!

    Hopefully we'll become obsessive savers!:D
