You know MSE/DFW is taking over when...
....when you're in the shower and realise that instead of squeezing out shower gel, you've got shampoo in your hand. But you've already shampooed your hair. So you spend alomst 10 minutes trying to get the shampoo back into the bottle, even though it has the tiniest hole in the world for it to go back through, but that's got to be better than wasting it by rinsing it down the plughole right???
However, it dawns on you, after 10 minutes of trying to do this, that you've probably wasted so much water with the shower on while you were completely absorbed in this ridiculous task, that you've more than likely wasted even more money than you would have done by simply washing said offending shampoo down the plughole!!!

It's a school holiday here and I was just thinking about what we did before I was so obsessed with DFW - either away for the weekend or at very least cinema then pizza out somewhere for tea. Today it's the park for a kick about and dinner at home. Thing is that DS doesn't seem to mind at all so I've wasted thousands entertaining him over the years...Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,222

I lost 50p not paying attention to the coins I was putting in the photo booth. It was gutting.
Made a great sandwich today. I had run out of cheap ham and decided to make something up from what was in the fridge ... avocado, hummous and tomato, anyone? Mighty tasty ... before my LBM I would've spent £2 on a sarnie from a shop and it wouldn't've tasted as good as today's.US student loan (2.48%): [STRIKE]$19,152.65[/STRIKE] $2700.19

DFW NERD #511 - PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBT0 -
I'm so bad with paying for parking I will drive round and find a free parking space (for up to half an hour) then walk into town get what I need and walk back
I'm always very proud of this, it drives my friends mad!!
I've asked our canteen staff to open the vending machine.... it ate 20p!!
There was no way I was wasting that!
Oh and then there is the little problem of fitting work around all this DFWing. I think it's very inconsiderate of them to think I should be working... I mean what do they think they pay me for? :rotfl:Current debt - £16,300
