    Here's one...when shopping for fruit and veg, remove the stalks so they weigh less. I read that in a magazine about 15 years ago!

    And talking of magazines...pop into your local hair salon, pretending to be considering a re-style and read their magazines whilst you're waiting to speak to someone!

    Hmmm...now what else is there?

    Your suspicions may be right, Amosworks - flush cra*p away, but leave wee there - to save water! :eek:

    I take my cereal to work and use the milk there to have with it :) This is to save money but also because Im always in a rush to get to work and never have the time for breakfast!

    Sometimes this forum disgusts me _pale_
    But it's so addictive :rolleyes:
  • Too hard up to buy a drink in a busy pub or bar? ...Pick up someone else's "by mistake"!

    NB. This technique (also known as "minesweeping" for obvious reasons) is only for those who have good acting ability: If you're rumbled, a sweet smile and a genuine "Oh sh*t, I'm so sorry, I thought..." response works wonders...
    :beer:

    P.S. I take no responsibilty for any black eyes or punches suffered as a result of this "tip"!

    Yeah how about getting your drink spiked though?
    That "minesweeping" sounds like more risk than it's worth, is your safety really worth sacrificing the cost of a pint?
