Next time you go out to a river festival, REFUSE to pay £1.60 for a bottle of diet cola just because it's a sweltering day and they can charge you what they like :$ Instead simply stay in the sun and run out of moisture.

Why I didn't follow my own advice today I do not know.

My advise to you hun, is to pop a litre bottle in your freezer (better to keep a full freezer!) and let it melt throughout the day. - Icecold water and doesn't cost a penny if you use the tap! I've been doing this over the hot spell as dehydrating one's self can lead to headaches, mood swings and heat stroke. Hope that helps! Mwah

I haven't bought envelopes for years... all the return envelopes that come with junk mail or bills, along with any used but re-usable envelopes get put in a box where I use stickers or return address labels on them.

There seems to be a constant supply of return address envelopes in my post at least. Better than throwing away perfectly good stuff, and better for the environment too.

For the women, reusable sanitary protection is great too.

There's usually an initial outlay that costs more than a pack of disposable towels / tampons would cost, but you more than make it back.

Also less waste, less manufacturing. And much more comfortable too!

I've posted this on another thread:

I haven't done this yet, but thought of it today.

We are having a four-day-break in Cordoba next week (house exchange so nothing for accommodation) :money: :T

I suggested taking the chicken carcase which we will have on Wednesday, with us so that we could make a huge stew for us to eat when we are not eating out.

Husband refuses to take a chicken carcase on holiday!:rotfl:
