You can tell you're BR when...

affluenza

Secret santa and birthdays - p*ssed me off as well, funny how I always had to contribute to everyone's birthday but no-one even asked me when mine was. You know, you work with people, you help them out and just the words "Happy Birthday" would have been nice.

I need to get secret santa banned this year at our works, only me who stuck to the £5 & funny rule, bought my boss a value hairdryer (hes bald) everyone else bought expensive gifts (apart from the person who got me) they werent even funny! I was on the floor laughing when boss opened mine.. he knew it was me!

Coffee is one thing I don't cut costs on - Nescafe or nothing! You're right though I have value brands from Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's lining my cupboards.:D

by the way sainburys half price joints of beef and pork

Thanks for the heads up - We bought a pork joint that should last us all week and 2 legs of lamb that have been put in the freezer all for under £15!

They have a third off all baby products (including food) too!

you still find it hard to sleep properly and (me) wake up with the feeling you have been grinding your teeth all night

you have a cold or sore throat but buying essential food is more important than getting medicine, it will get better in its own time after all! :rolleyes:
