    Oh i might get one back here lost2(anthing to do with the series lost?)i used to work for the bakery dept at tesco. Every night i used to do reductions at certain times...always the same people hanging around...waiting.I used to go out with my discount gun and they would all gather round me to see what i was going to discount and for how much. I used to wait till there were a few gathered, then go back into the bakery,watch the slink off, wait five min,then repeat the process.....highlight of my night..mean i know:obut certainly livened up an otherwise dreary evening. Dx


    No dalip :D just lost in dept :rolleyes: :)

    you know your bankrupt when...

    you get excited by something you need on freecycle and being gifted it

    timing your weekly shop for the discount times..

    thanking your late nanna every time you make something homemade that BR would be worse if you couldnt cook

    working out how to use everything in your store cupboard and wonder why you hadnt used all those red lentils before...

    whooping for joy when you have done enough boring surveys to get £20 worth of pay pal money so you can buy something frivolous on ebay

    when you take great pleasure in opening nasty post and sticking two fingers up as you consign them to the file marked BR let the OR deal with em :D

    when you have found yet another use for bicarbonate of soda - the wonder of old fashioned cleaning

    when you think you have found a pot of gold when you get a asda whoopsie for a penny - oh yes the joy we had last week a salad, stir fry and cake for 3 pence
    BR 2nd April 2009
    Feel the fear and do it anyway!

    LOL I had red lentils today because I found them in the cupboard and looked everywhere for a recipe cos neva had them before BUT lovely hehehe

    when..... you always take the car out of gear when ever going down a slight incline to save that tiny bit of petrol

    when.... your backside is now the shape of a bike saddle cos using bike instead of a car (gotta be a good thing tho)

    when.... you actually finish a bottle of hand cream instead of getting bored of it and buying a different one

    ....nearly BR when.....I worry every time I use my bank card in case it will be deemed to be frivolous & I will get the 3rd degree from some nasty OR for spending £1.26 on Lurpack when I should have bought value spread at 29p.....started to pay for everything cash so will not be asked why I put £10 of petrol in every 2 days or why I spent £10 in Primark.

    I get paranoid sometimes...can`t you tell!!! :o:o
