Save money - visit parents!!

mookybargirl

I'm visiting parents in Scotland for a few days and my mum said "you need to take some of these toiletries with you". Now, maybe a year ago, I'd have thought, I've got enough but now being a "wee" money saver. I'll be leaving on Wednesday with enough to get me into the new year!!

And my proudest em "borrowed item" - I've stolen her hand blender Mum admits she never uses it and as you guys have all got me into cooking, it shall come in very handy - free blender :j

I'm about to buy first house with OH and plan to start as I mean to go on. This site and everyone who posts are truly inspirational. :beer:

Mum's are great ones for hoarding things - "it was BOGOF, so I bought 12"

Must be a nesting instinct.

i have to admit every time i go to my parents house i tend to come away with an "oxfam parcel" of stuff that mum has either bought and forgotten about and given it to me or bought loads of an item on bogof and given me some of the free ones:D some weeks when i have been down to my last pennies this has been a lifesaver! where would we be without parents, god bless em all :j
