I try to stockpile booze but it never seems to last very long !

However I think anyone who knows me, would know there's NO WAY I could ever have this much wine in the house! Empty bottles maybe but not full :rotfl:

Trust me we drink plenty of it too but when in Tesco DTD days, when they were paying us to take it away we stocked up a lot. We still buy wine when we see a good offer so the cupboards have remained pretty full :j

Also have a 'spare'

Kettle
Toaster
Hairdyer
Iron
Hand Blender
Hand mixer
Sheets & Towels
Tights
Reams of printer paper

Oh dear!

i too have spare kettle, toaster, mixer, breadmaker, sheets and towels and cutlery in the loft. having a second kettle and toaster and extra cutlery available for large family gatherings is very useful, i once had a mixer die on me in the middle of making a cricket tea!! so, after buying a new one, i also snapped up a second hand one, along with a second hand breadmaker at the end of a jumble sale for 50p each - to keep in the loft - just in case! and sheets and towels have many many uses (have just cut up some threadbare towels to use as personal care cloths for one of the elderlies i work with).

Lilys Dad - Amazing!

For those of you having trouble convincing OHs to buy into the idea, compare the interest rate on savings to the rate food prices are going up. Smart Price pasta has gone up by over 100% in just over 6 months........
