Can you tell I'm bored?! :rotfl: Enjoy (bit long..got carried away!) Edited to add another 3 verses in the middle!!!!
When the lightbulb hits its wattage of 140
The debt growls “ooh, you’ve been naughty”
Worries abound you fear the worst
Then onto the MSE scene you burst
First post is hard, what do you say?
Need advice, no money til payday
Will anyone respond, what are they like?
Will they send me on my bike?
Hi and welcome is the usual cheer
Lynzpower is quick – is she always here?
I’ve seen Ms _London, she’s a debt-free one
How inspirational, so it can be done!
Post an SOA and we’ll help you out
Check SS’s sticky, several shout
We’ll read the figures and see what can go
Get rid of Sky – Freeview is cheaper you know
How much on food shopping? How many to feed?
No, no dear, it’s not about want, we’re talking need
Get to OS, check cleaning and shopping
Everyone here is Stardrops mad and micro-fibre clothing
Phone is on contract, bills are a woe
Hear the war-cry of “Get Pay As You Go”
Check your utilities, you can pay less
Don’t worry about haircuts, the trend is for mess
So onto the general spend we trot
The recommendation is a diary we spot
Write everything down, use only cash
Have No Spend days and you’ll be feeling rash
Set goals for the week and your Debt Free Date
Snowball becomes your very best mate
Spreadsheets and charts and lists to boot
Who said being a DFW isn’t a hoot?!
Read the diaries, pick up some tips
Humour from SouthernScousers lips
Watch the debts start to come down
Who’s next to receive the Debt-Free crown?
Bank charges next, yes, claim them back
Get yourself over to the backactiongroup stack
Nervous and scared that the big banks will win
Not a chance, they’ve committed such sin
You’re fully on board and posting more
Another high – the cashback score
Dilemmas to answer, second jobs to find
Pigsback clicks to do and vouchers in mind
Join the clubs or become a nerd
It’s OK – it’s Martin DFW word
Save 20p’s or £2 coins in a tin
Go and have free fun doing anything!
Benefit Challenge Emmzi is doing
Come under budget someone is cooing
There’s challenges galore to keep you going
And no buying clothes, get on with that sewing!
De-cluttering your home for a car boot sale
Ebay those clothes on that overflowing rail
Get your books from the library, walk to work
More money off the debt is the perk
As days roll on by, a pattern emerges
Motivational stalls with shopping urges
Chin up, keep going, chant the hardcore bunch
As you read the replies over your home-made lunch
You’ll get there, we all will, one way or another
CCCS and Payplan or a loan from your mother
Martin, we thank you for bringing this site
It’s helped so many to see the light.
