Oh, and just to be completely flippant (now that you are not in so much trouble) how about hiring your husband out as one of those singing strip-o-grams?;)

hiya... im doing okay thanks... i had about £25 left but needed enough petrol for work each day (42 mile round trip :S) found about a tenner in my bank accounts so i put £27 in the car (which hopefully should last, sorry to anyone who uses the western bypass on the a1 in newcastle - im the yellow vw doing 50mph!!!) I had to buy a couple of things for hol so im down to about £3 i think! but the good thing is i do have food and i go on hol in a week so only have to last til then!

Jo - you have done so well - I hope you don't let yourself get too down today - every time you catch a negative thought - try and....reach for a better one! Even something a teeny bit brighter. You are an inspiration after all!

Good luck to you too Lysa

I remember you saying that you were using just a couple of sheets of toilet paper to save money, and I was very impressed!! But after reading this thread it would seem that was extravagant! I particularly liked the rhyme below.

What amazes me as I try and perfect my Scrooge ways, is that no matter how tight I become, there is a huge swathe of people who can do it even cheaper.

Keep up the great work.

think I know the answer to this one.

When I was at school, long ago, we had this little rhyme:

In days of old, when knights were bold
And toilet rolls weren't invented,
You wiped your *rse
On a blade of grass
And walked away contented. :rotfl:

A few years ago they did a 'life in Iron Age Britain' program, where due to the odd diet they frequently got the trots. They had a little privy and apparently used whatever greenery they could grab. One night someone grabbed....a handful of nettles :eek:
