also, (unrelated to thread topic) can i just ask, is there a way to mark my place on a thread that would save me having to scroll through to find the last part i read or do i just have to remember what page i was on and scroll through it?

You just scroll in History to find appropriate part of the thread which tends to me to be furthest up in History. If you re-refer to same thread during the day, scroll up to latest section.

Or is it as shameful a waste of money like Tesco Value brand?
( I might give Asda a try via My Supermarket but bad reports of them here are putting me off and our local Asda is shoddy and disappointing).

Embarrassing one: the whole blow nose, then use loo roll where needed... I always thought I was the only one who did this!

I have never admitted this to anyone before but I do this too, its a very gross habit and I freak myself out everytime I do it!!!

I do lots of other things listed on here, so now I feel normal!!

Our washing machine is absolutely on its last legs so at the moment we are only washing what is absolutely needed, so we are all wearing the clothes until actually dirty, my washing load has been so much smaller this week.

I wash food bags to get another use out of them and hang them on the line to dry, my neighbours must think I am a fruit loop!

laughing as i do so many things already listed. I am cringing at admitting this, i have dropped the odd sausage, chop on the floor and its had a quick rinse, wipe and gone on the plate (not mine i might add), how bad is that. Just decided reading it back that unless im prepared to put in on mine, im not gonna do it any more.

Yuk. _pale_ that is a no-no for me. Once someone else has had a spoon in their mouth and in the food, then there is no way I could even think of returning it to the pan. Basic food hygiene - if you ate in a restaurant you would complain if the waiter stuck his finger in your food and tasted it...

Yes, but i don't know the waiter !!

I think, in this instance, they were dipping pitta and tortilla chips in it rather than using a fork - but it wouldn't have made any difference. As students we regularly made a big pot of something - put it in the middle of the table and all dived in with our forks. But then students are disgusting!

When you view the forum listing, threads with unread posts are always bold. To the left of the thread title, there will also be a little down arrow if there's unread posts. Click that instead of the title, and it takes you to the first unread post.

Back to this thread... I can't think of anything MSE I do that I would consider embarrassing. For the most part, it's just common sense! I do get a bit of enjoyment using the bathroom at work though, as I saved money AND got paid to do it. :money:

thank you londondreamer

i do most of them already and have picked up some new ones, but one i do that has not been quoted yet is when i go somewhere that has perfume testers i always have a good spray (making sure i like the smell), then if anyone asks me what my perfume is i just tell them its my latest one.x
