Bit of fun.... you know you're a truly sad MSE when....

When you consider taking a 10p onion back to Sainsburys because it has gone off and was only bought a week ago.

When you have had Marmite on your shopping list for two months, because it's over £2 and there is still a scraping left in the old jar.

When you didn't buy any birthday or Christmas cards with raised-up bits on, because the stamps might be 44p instead of normal prices.

When you count the characters in your texts, to make sure you get your full 12p worth .

when you go to other peoples houses and automatically squash thiier loo rolls on the winder flatter as it comes so naturally ( so less comes off each time you go!!)

Yes, I have done this!

You've made that many lists of incomings/outgoings/savings/debts that you've only got about 5 clean pages left in your 80 page writing pad that you bought 2 weeks ago.. :cool:

When its your sisters wedding and you borrow the suit from your mate (I had to draw the line at this one though, ended up buying my own)

When you push your mate almost into the road because there was 10 pence under just where he was walking (What was MY 10p doing under his feet :rolleyes: - we shared it though lol)

Lighting candles at home and convincing everyone that 'it's much more soothing this way' when really I wanted to cut carbon emissions -or was it to save on the leccy, since I was selected to pay that bill :rolleyes:

when you refuse to ring people on other networs to you.

..and just ended up poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide instead.. :rotfl:

When you defend the older woman at work who takes her foil from her sandwiches back home to reuse rather than laughing at her with everyone else.

When you take your mp3 player and charger to work to use their electricity rather than yours

When you get presents in a gift bag you secretly rejoice that they haven't written on the tag (or if they have you take the tag off to give it to the next person)

LMAO off at the football fixtures one, my dad doesn't know about the matched betting and he is always bemused at my knowledge of fixtures and results.

When you drink water to try & chase away a headache because there are only 2 paracetamols left(true)
