Ok pepys time for some amusement! I was just looking in a cupboard for a juicer & couldnt find it - my first thought was have I sold it! Made me think you know you're a DFW when you do various things and it would be nice to have a thread with some light relief so here's my few...
1) You start making bread, marmalade & cooking from scratch
2) You hunt the whole internet and try to go through quidco for all spends
3) You see a man in Mr T tutting "rip off" about the price of bread & wonder if he's "one of your lot"
4) Friends come to ask your advice on the best deals & where to get them
5) You have a martin lewis car sticker!
6) Things like using 1/2 a washing tablet are now the norm...
7) You proudly walk into lidl & aldi rather than hanging your head in shame as you once did
Feel free to add yours & hopefully we can chucckle at the simularities & maybe even learn some new ways while we're at it!!

You refuse to let anyone use the phone until after 6.00pm because calls are free then.
You feel incredibly upset if a internet purchase can't be made through quidco or pigsback.
You go around the house turning the lights off muttering about "bloody Blackpool illuminations".
You say at least once a day "HOW much?????"
I'm sure I'll think of more......;)You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that

- Your socks don't match (but it doesn't matter because they are under your boots,
- You decide whats for your next meal by whats due to go off 1st in the fridge (and see how far you can get the contents of your cupboards to stretch before you buy more)
- You try not to buy anything unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (and then check charity shops and sales first).
- You have a list of OS things that you would like as a pressie in case anyone asks what you want for your birthday/Christmas
- Theres knitted and quilted blankets all over your living room so you don't get cold (and your gas bill doesn't get big):rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I nodded to all of the above!!!!!
the worst one with me is I sneer at friends and family when they spend money on ANYTHING!!! ESPECIALLY when its on a credit card....and if its an egg card well don't get me started.
My other one is i've started asking people to print me out there SOA so I can go through them and show them where they can cut corners On a mission0 -

This reminded me of something I did the other day. I was searching for an antique cakestand I had as I wanted to sell it on ebay. I searched everywhere for about an hour and a half, and then I realised I'd already sold it about a year ago!:rotfl:In_Search_Of_Me wrote: »I was just looking in a cupboard for a juicer & couldnt find it - my first thought was have I sold it!Sealed Pot challenge #59SPC5 total £473.600 -
I agree with all of the above:p
You know you are a dfw when instead of watching your favourite programme, you sit working out how much you will have paid off in 3 months ( or is this just me
)
Your house smells of white vinegar
Your poor postman has to knock your door all the time, because your free samples won't fit through the letterbox
I'm sure there's more

Even the car gets washed with stardrops.
