Hello folks,
I think we're all trying to be thrifty and reduce the size of our mortgages but as you know, it's a long hard slog... and every now and again, I'm sure everyone can allow a little treat and do with some cheering up... so thought to start a thread about treats that does not cost the earth. What's yours?
For me it's a bunch of cut flowers, oriental lilies are my favourites (£5 from Tesco's, £7 from M&S) and you get usually 2 weeks of joy from them (and no calories either :rotfl:)
Or alternatively a House & Garden magazine or similar, £3.99. (so that when the mortgage is paid off........:p)
