    OH and I use face flannels in the shower ( I know some people argue that they are unhygienic but I just don't feel my face is clean unless I've given it a good scrub with a flannel).

    They get used once or twice in the shower, then get used a couple of times to clean the bathroom. Then they go through the hot wash with the towels, and back into the shower as face cloths! This way I don't have to buy bathroom sponges. I know it sounds gross...but they do get washed on hot!

    Oh god, I went hot and cold with embarrassment posting that!
  • I stock up on Lidl's instant noodles. They are only 18p per pack. Sometimes if I am really hungry I'll have two at once (yes I am a fat cow!) but that means that I can use just one of the sachets containing the flavour. The spare flavour sachet is good for a cup of soup, or for throwing into stew or curry etc.

    My DH pees outside too.

    My hubby had peed into a container when he was in the garage one day and then threw the liquid onto the grass in the back garden. There is a nice dark green 'streak' across the grass where the grass is more lush. I will now have to get him to do it more often :D

    Tesco's value ones are only 11p for 65g packet...if you were passing! Chicken and Curry flavours available

    We had chilli for tea. Kids ate theirs an hour before us, and didn't finish everything in their bowls. Back in the pan it went to be reheated with ours.:o
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
