The bulb goes in your bathroom... and because you can't get the light fitting off it remains unchanged and you suffer without a light in the bathroom at night........ for 3 months... (and counting) :whistle:

You've been to our house then......:rolleyes:

Good work I_A, what got it in the end? Don't worry about the lightbulb, I've done the same before now.

When I stay in a hotel (like I have been recently for training) I make sure I charge everything up there, like toothbrush, phone, camera etc and I always ummm, 'use' the spare roll of toilet paper... I also ALWAYS empty the coffee's and teas and save them for holidays. (or give to friends who have camper tents;) )

You use rainwater to flush the loo (and the washing up water). Someone I know stands in a bowl when they shower and saves that water for the loo as well! Also you visit friends often in the winter, saves on your heat, light and loo paper!!

We came out of Asda this week after spending £92 for a fortnight and my wife said well is £46/w good enough for you, I said but we have come 2 days early so it is more that £46/w. I heard her chunter to herselfe as she took the trolly back - He won't be bloody satisfied untill we are skin and bones and sitting in the cornor with a lettice leaf - I did tellher that lettices are expensive 15/- in old money.........I don't think I should have:(

I like the idea of being paid to go to the toilet!

Some men (not I) pay lots of money to women for that to happen

....have a last cup of tea in work before going home - saves making one as soon as I get in like I used to (free teabags etc. and no electric bill to heat the water).

I always do that, FE. Free teabags, coffee and Hot Water are about the only thing that my employers 'give' us. Sometimes they leave a loaf of bread (right on limit of sell-by date ) by the toaster - there is, usually a choice of jams and spreads (again quite close to their 'best by' date) so I will, often make myself 'toast and peanut butter' to save eating when I get home.

Never considered that as being 'stingy' though. :rolleyes:

When you have visitors come round and you subtley drop into the conversation that you don't flush the loo after a wee to save water, and hope they take the hint if the urge takes them whilst they are with you.

When someone calls to say they're popping over and you tell them to pick up a pint of milk on the way if they want a cuppa.

When your mate says they're coming over to have a bottle of wine with you (which they've bought) and they offer to bring a pizza to do in the oven as well - but you say to get something else to save on the leccy bill.

Funny how all of mine revolve around people coming over

Oh, I have been known to borrow loo roll from work as well :rotfl:

milliemonster - wish you could train my step-kids to do that....we've failed to completely and they get through tonnes of loo roll! I really dunno what they do with it (or I don't want to think about it - teenage boys - yuk!)

And don't ask them why they take so long in the shower
