You know you're addicted to DLP / The DIS when...

[ukstitch]

I thought I'd start one of these threads, because there seems to be a good few of us now for whom either our post counts are creeping up very quickly, or our bank balances are depleting very quickly as we book more trips.

Let's try and keep the list to things that we've actually done - it's more fun that way I think :)

Anyway:

You know you're addicted to DLP when you start thinking about your next trip before you've finished the washing from the last.

[Bolanette87]

...When you've made over 100 posts in the last week!! :eek:
