    i must just say, in return for my 'free meal' my mum gets manicure, pedicure, eyebrows done, and my dad gets a haircut (i'm getting quite good at it now!)

    and i don't really mind our friends coming round to use our heat and electric - we would have them on anyway.

    Only wash your hair every other day.

    Use tea bags for more than one cup of tea.

    I re-use tea bags & leave them on the side. My flatmates think its funny & have often thrown them out, but I soon set them straight!!

    Eat office biscuits & try and get some left over sandwiches from the Board Meeting :0)

    My last company used to have company orange juice which was fab :0)

    Although that one is actually stealing and misappropriation of company resources, and could get you disciplined or sacked.

    true, depends on your workplace I guess. We've been told they don't mind as long as it's not heavily abused. So be smart about it!
