  • LOL to all the previous posts! I can't resist Fairy Washing Up Liquid, when it's on special offer or bogof. Thought I'd died & gone to heavon when they were on special offer at asda a few weeks ago. I may live to 100 & never have to buy any more. (but I will, I KNOW I will);)

    I also can't resist buying M&S underwear and socks in the sale when they are half price. Since I am on no spend challenge I buy them for dd, so we are both happy!

    And finally (well all I'm prepared to admit in public) I do use the same piece of silver foil all week for my sandwiches for work! although I do wipe it over.

    Not wanting to feed one of your obsessions but M&S have a sale on at the moment. I got my 16yr old dd 3 knicker & vest sets and 2 pairs of knickers for just under £10 (there was a 10% off voucher on the voucher board).

    Im also a fabric and yarn stasher, I guess its my safety net, so I can make the occasional couple of quid or a gift.

    I also have to buy stuff I see on here or hear about that is a bargain and useful, that is I have to get it NOW!! lol

    Dh has a thing about emergency money, which is a very good thing but he does drive me a little crazy with it.

    I too like to make everything I can instead of buying it, and my mates in our goth social group come to me cos I always know where to get things, borrow things or make them. They think i have a little black book but I dont I have MSE .

    Chopped tomatoes and kidney beans! At one point I had so many tins I swear I could have made enough chilli to feed a small African nation!

    :naughty: :silenced: :whistle:

    I don't know to what you are referring :confused::whistle::D

    Yes, it's true I do buy a lot of cookbooks but I don't think it counts as an OS compulsion as it involves spending money on things I don't really need.

    Bits of ribbon, marg pots and old clothes that I save for rags. I culled my rag stash at the beginning of the year but it seems to have multiplied again:o OH no doubt would add charity shop books to that but that's a vital need [that comes under the well known medical condition of bookwormery:D] not an obsession!!
