When at 17 years of age your colleagues at work (who are upto 50 years of age) ask you what this weeks offers are at 3 different super markets. When the children you work with at nursery say Jess look a penny and give it to me proudly! When you mum asks if you constantly want empty boxes and envelopes. When you keep absouluty everything because one day it will come in handy! When you buy your Christmas stuff in the Jan sales, when your friends ask you for vouchers/codes , when you only go to the cinema on a wednesday because of orange wednesday , when you re-use bags until they split then return them and say " this bag did not last me for life like the title says bag for life" then they replace them.. when you walk 2+miles more just to save 4pence on a item.. lol i could go on but i might embarress myself! xNanMias - cyber granddaughter!
