    3 am and I just went out and collected the grass cuttings left by the council workmen for my composter. I think I put the 's' in sad :confused:

    My kids are wanting to have a go at tie dying.

    The kit comes with 4 elastic bands to tie round the shirts but want to squeeze six t shirts out of it.

    Have spent the last couple of days walking round the estate looking for red postman-dropped laccy bands.

    DD did ask why we didnt just buy some more at Tesco. Have I taught the child nothing !!!
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    PROBS WITH THE LINK ON MINE AND SPEWY'S OWN FORUM, BUT NO

    WORRIES AS NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP US SHARING OUR SECRETS

    If I haven't already mentioned it, I used to do a lot of extra work, on shows

    like Grange Hill, and I'd get a bit of cash for that. I've also done ads for

    cheesestrings as well as promotional stuff. So if you get in with stuff like that

    it's quite flexible and if it's a sunny day you can skinny dip on the heath :wink:

    Guess what gang? I'm soooooooo excited because I just got home and my OH had left me to do all his washing.
    I have found £7.14 in the pockets and half a packet of chewy gum! I'm off to the shop now to spend the cash on wine.
    Also, you might be interested to know that I won't be buying a magazine from the shop, because I 'borrowed' several from the hairdresses today when I had my nails done (by my mate! - free)...
    Mwah!

    My friend's planning to fill up his shower gel and shampoo bottles at the gym. I'm not sure if he's done it yet, but I think it's a very good idea!

    I try to jam lots of clothes into the washing machine to save on laundry detergent (which is cheap anyway, as I only buy economy brands). I don't know how clean my clothes are, but I don't stink so it must be OK.

    Finally, I save loads on meals because my office fridge is magic. All sorts of packed lunches, sandwiches, fruit cups and juices appear from nowhere all the time - it's like a free buffet every day!

    This is well out of order and truely mingin! Myself and the lushsavinggodess nearly spat our Lambrini out when we read it. It's nearly as bad as a tramp going through the bins. But at least a tramp ain't stealing! Nuff said! :mad:

    One of my kids had a sleepover here last week and his friends brought their duvet covers in binliners...of course I was careful not to rip the binliners as I 'helped' them set out their bedding - then I had plenty of binliners for this week's rubbish (beats Tesco's carrier bags!).

    We also always pick up heaps of drinking straws/tomato sauce/tartare sauce if we get a takeaway (but only where the sauces are free of course) and at least five copies of tescos or asda's free magazine every shop, for the money-off coupons (who wouldn't)?

    On the note of the Diva Cup, the vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. So Tampons absorb the natural fluids that we
    need to keep the vagina clean and moist. That's the prob I found with
    tampons, so my mate, who's into saving the environment, said I could borrow
    hers for a trial - didn't find it comfortable. So I'm back to lilets. Nothing
    makes me happier then a BOGOF!!!
    I've just brought this dress off ebay and it's gorge - I'll have to post a photo of myself wearing it. I'm not shy!!! Though it's a bit see through.
