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!!Official DFW Nerd Club #20 :cool: Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts

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

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!

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.0
