    When you scream "Get in" at a shop checkout when you receive a £2 coin in change and you belong to the MSE £2 savers club :)

    when you hand over a £5 note for something that costs under £2 as you dont want to relinquish the £2 coin in your pocket (sad but true im afraid)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    When you start to make your own baby items.
    When you put you 6 month son in tights so you tell the sock fairy to naff off and stop pinching them.
    When your husband tells you to stop bumping every soup/cauliflowercheese/or stew with either rice or pasta.
    You tell freinds you are away over christmas and you will see them around the 28th-29th and buy their presents in the sales

    You know MSE money saving ways are getting through to OH when you are in a very posh restaurant (my birthday treat) and he very loudly asks for a doggy bag after the meal at the top of his voice!
    Cue lots of looks of disgust from other well-bred diners, when the maitre'd pipes up and says `oh I do that for my dogs' hence big chat about Spaniels and Jack Russells!
