    Great thread Keren!!

    You know MSE/DFW is taking over when.....

    1. You are so proud of yourself for having a no spend day and can't wait to tell your fellow DFWs!!

    2. You tell your non-DFW friends how great it was to get a coupon for a free pack of kitchen roll and not care that they're laughing AT you and not WITH you!

    3. You get excited when you see Martin on the TV and smile because you know you're in his Gang!!

    You know when MSE/DFW is taking over when you ask your daughter to change her name to Martin :money:

    I dont think I have ever seen Martin on TV :eek: but apart from that I 100% agree.

    Another one I forgot

    You get really happy becasue you get some great freebies through the door, but your friends think you are mad if you give them the 6 free dishwasher tablets you thought that they might like

    You break out in a cold sweat at the point of breaking into a £2 coin

    When the forum page is set as your internet homepage

    You see it as a personal challenge to make a rubber chicken stretch further than 4 complete meals.

    Every single bank/credit card/utility bill ahs its own folder and is in chronological date order

    You keep a pile of open envelopes/junk mail leaflets to write your shopping lists on

    You spend an extra 45 mins shopping going between Superdrug.Boots and Wilkinson to see who has the better offers!

    Although maybe thats just me

    You break out into a cold sweat when you get the message 'there is a temporary glitch in the MSE Forums'

    and you think oh my god, what do I look at now????

    When someone asks you what you've done today and you answer with piggy clicks and comps, checked online banking and not increased my debs any further.
