It's funny you guys mentioned this. Earlier in the week, I had a meeting at a school and the students were told they could take some of the leftover food and drink home. Apparently one girl emptied about 100 tea bags into her bag! I bet her mum is so proud :rotfl:
Personally, I would never recycle old birthday presents and then charge my brother the full cost of them so that he can give them to his girlfriend :whistle:No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
OK confession time here. Yesterdays Metro (free paper) had a voucher for a Tesco in Birmingham. It was spend £30 and get £10 off the bill. I nabbed two papers so I have 4 vouchers (well they are valid for a few weeks). Then I went shopping and added up as I went round. Bill before discount £30.50, afer using voucher £20.50.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0

Similar to my theory of only having one electric socket each to the living room and the bedroom being great as it means I can't have too much stuff on at once!0 -

for some reason the previous occupants had a wonderful candelabra in the dining room...it needs about 10 bulbs and they blow more often than they should....in true MSe style, there's only a maximum of 4 bulbs working at any one time.
also liked the Metro Tesco voucher story so will be sure to check them from now on! I look out for any barely read papers too and have been successful most days...For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 20070 -
When I started to turn my pants inside out to wear another day to save washing them!:rolleyes:0
