Whats the tightest thing youve done...

I once put 1p into someone at work's leaving present sheet. I didn't like him but didn't have the nerve to refuse to contribute. I would just say "no" now!

PS- the penny went into a group envelope. Wish I had been there when it was counted.

Saved up empty coke bottles and refilled them at home so I didnt have to buy at work.

Took my grandma a present in a gift bag then 'spirited' it away once she had got her pressie ready for another day.

I refill my water bottle from the spring water cooler at work. And use plastic crates as furniture. And reuse wrapping paper.

when we have collections at work ( we have them every week) we have to inital we have recieved the envelope. If I don't like them I just intial it and put nothing in.

I read on here that some people crush full toilet rolls so that people naturally don't take as many sheets off - but I can't remember whose suggestion that was?!?

But I did it! Haven't measured if its working or not yet!

Ha ha ha!

Even worse - I put a paperclip in a envelope for someone's leaving do present! I just couldn't wait for them to leave. OMG!

Our office forbid refilling water bottles as they say it's unhygienic my OH would reuse freezer bags if I let him don't fancy the salmonella bug's effects so I don't let him.;)

I am trying to think of something to write here, don't use trains, don't reuse freepost envelopes:think:

I refill water bottles from the water cooler at work too.

I try and cadge lifts home from work as often as possible from people who drive past my side of town, to save on bus fare (although car sharing is encouraged I guess now anyway).

I guess the tightest thing I have done is conveniently time doing the washing up whilst boyfriend is in shower so that the fluctuating temperature p****d him off so much he got out of shower quicker (we are on a meter obviously!).



If I think of any more I will post....
