Whats the tightest thing youve done...

oops_a_daisy

I am trying to think of something and the only thing I can come up with is pretty disgusting really so here goes if I have a cold I re use paper hankies and dont just use them once. Well I do only buy the ones with balm on and they are expensive

I ordered lamb chops in a restaurant and when I could not eat them all, I wrapped up the remaining two in my serviette and put them in my handbag to take home.

Trouble was, I was on a first date, and he knew I did not have a dog! He said nothing, and there were more dates, so maybe it did not look too strange. I was just wishing I hadn't done it though.

i squash toilet rolls too and it works saves the kids from rolling it off a mile at a time.
i acquire paracetamols from work and bin bags and a bleachy based cleaning powder ahem

Please can someone talk me through the whole 'squashed loo roll' tip? My boys would go through a roll a day if they had the choice.

I've 'borrowed' stamps from work to post my christmas cards.

Its basically as it sounds - just kind of hold it in your hand and press down - so that the middle goes flat - then put it on your dispenser. People naturally don't take as much as it doesn't spin round.

I dunno about me, but my husbands' ex is pretty tight. She has kids and then gives them away to other people. I should know it saves her thousands (sorry, having a bitter moment).

You do kinda sound bitter but you made me smile


I can't really think of a 'tight' thing i've done lately but I did a very 'un-tight' thing. Was out in a bar after a graduate induction thing, I was getting some food for one of the girls I met, but the tab had been settled already so I paid for her food and didn't tell her. My good deed for the month.
