Yes, but mellow yellow truly does stink in a small, hot bathroom- tried that first. We seem to have perfected the art of timing it to go together now. Oh God I'm not sure if I'm being gross now, or plain weird. I swear we don't own a single pair of matching jumpers... Shutting up now!I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

Much more embarrasing is if my boyfriend and I need the loo at the same time we'll save a flush by both going one after the other and not flushing between. ...QUOTE]
This brought back memories, my grandparents used to do this. 40 plus years together and two bladders working as oneI can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -
In winter I layer my clothes, wearing vest tops that i would normally wear in summer under others. I buy these at the end of summer (means they are REALLY cheap) use through winter and then through the summer. I also buy jumpers at the end of winter for next winter. If styles change thats what ribbon and buttons are for.....customising!
My long sleeve casual shirts I chop the sleeves but make a hem with buttons hidden underneath so the sleeve can be buttoned back on again in winter. Make sure and wash the shirt and sleeves together so they match when you put them back together. This means I have short sleeved shirts in summer and long sleeve ones in winter.
I also use the ribbon loops from jumpers (I fold them into a drawer rather than hanging them up) to decorate my jumpers and vest tops, meaning if I've bought them at a supermarket etc I'm less likely to see someone wearing exactly the same thing!
....and I think it was jackieO that posted this but thanks to her I'm now putting modesty panels in some of my tops made out of the tops of knickers!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

I have to say we don't do that all the time, but we do go often at the same time (it doesn't sound so weird if you both for example watch TV and advert comes on so you go during the advert. That is what adverts are for, no??:D). And we don't flush during the night because it would wake the house up.0 -

it is when you don't think something summery will show through something else and it does! :rotfl:try polka dots vest top under a nice smart grey jumper.
