    My wife has a great one when we go to Center Parcs and the like. She gets our son's biggest sports water bottle and fills it up with red wine. That way you can sit at your meal and appear to be sipping your own healthy water but be getting quite happily bladdered for no cost other than the plonk from Tesco's. Needless to say this is a night time thing, she does not take it to the pool during the day! Hic!!

    Did I say I actually do this? This is a 'tongue-in-cheek' thread remember.

    turning the engine off downhill is a bit scary if the steering lock comes on and you're hurtling towards a parked car...

    i LOVE the wine box/xmas present idea! genius!!

    Well, as Recycling Guru Penny Poyzer once said:

    'If it's yellow - let it mellow...If it's brown - flush it down! That should save on water consumption!!

    I do aerobics twice a week and to save money I bought a bottle of water (55p) and since then I have used the work's cold water filter to fill it up! Nice and cold water and I've saved £1.10 each week!

    Thanks to for everyone for contributing to such a hilarious thread - I've been in stitches all morning! :D

    Sorry I know this was started ages ago but was thinking about it in the shower this morn. Thought that instead of paying for the water to shower, you could just stand naked in your garden when it rains, this saves money and also means you OH can't hog the shower when you want to share one and the rain covers such a vast space. It also saves you having to go to boring nighbourhood watch meetings, because the neighbours will disown you.
    Also save on shampoo and conditioner, don't was your hair, apparently it starts to wash itself after about 6 weeks, so you only have to have smelly greasy hair for 6 weeks. Fab. Again this is two fold, you will also save loads of money on nights out etc, because no one will be seen dead with you and you grease ball do. :eek:
