Hi people
I think I am in need of help...have been registered with MSE for a few months now, but only recently started hopping on the forum boards and having chats and basically a good old nose around the Debt free wannabe threads - great you might say...however, I now find myself logging on at least two/three times a day! "Why?" My DH asks, well I am increasingly finding myself more and more curious as to how everyone else is paying off their debt, and whats more, that I am soooooooo F***in pleased that we are not the only ones up to our eyeballs in debt!!
The only thing is that I am now so guilty whenever I spend money, its not even funny! :rotfl:
Am hopping that you dont all think I am a complete weirdo! and basically wanted to say, get used to my name, coz your probably all gonna see it alot more often!

Hey Josie and welcome. I know the feeling and love mse, try and spend every day on here, infact i am currently visiting my family but have been trying to get on here every day! I find myself telling my family all about this board and encouraging them to use it. My partner always knows what i'm doing when i'm on the computer. Sounds like you've caught the bug!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Yup - Also totally addicted.
I don't post every day (although I do most days) but I read for ages every day and also try to 'convert' others. In fact I think I have become quite evangelical about it - perhaps this is a cult and I have been brainwashed???:rotfl:£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
