Found that funny:rotfl: as just having a clear- up of the "spare bedroom".

That's not the one dedicated as store room for food, or the one that's a study, but the one with double bed for guests - only they would have to climb over stash of BS, Jaffa Cakes, Coke, Tosco Tea Towels Dove Shower Gel, body lotion and deodorant E45Handwash, Wrapping Paper, new boot and bag stash, spare/emergency new boxed 22in TV and various things that might be useful for presents and about 25 rolls of wrapping paper :eek:
Good job I don't know anyone and no one comes to stay;)

Oh Jings thats loads. I have a section in garage for smellies which I have bearly added to in the last year. A few cubbie holes in the diningroom which serves as his library. and the bits in the kitchen.

Every Sunday I "shop" by going around bringing the things into the kitchen and bathroom I will need for the week. So I dont have to go out to garage at night. Topping up tea bags, coffee etc.

Most of my spare gifts are away this christmas I had two emergency gift bags to make up. I dont like keeping too much around.

Did the same last week BB - hate throwing stuff away but when I added up roughly what I had spent in real money it didn't seem quite so bad.

Think our OH's are soo lucky - I too am quite restrained :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Schlepped round Mt T in Sk1pt0n earlier today, on the hunt for bargains. Very poor:(
No Remington Wet Tech shavers, Portable Sports radios, silicone loaf tins or illuminating kettles; clipstrip stuff scanning at full price, as were the birthday cake number candles.
Didn’t price-check any of the books or DVDs.

Love that word, Mum and I use it a lot :rotfl:

She tells me I shouldn't schlep her shopping, it's no good for me.
I reply, how is it going to get into your house if I don't schlep it - it's not going to grow legs and walk up the drive from the car:)

Hello everyone

Can I ask please has anyone received any H&M orders yet?

I have just logged into my account and it says no orders, it was there last week.

Thanks

Does anyone ever watch extreme cheapskates?

I'm just watching one where he hangs his dental floss and kitchen roll on a washing line in the house to dry so he can reuse:eek::eek:

He's just taken his wife to the cinema....rooted through a bin to get a drink carton and popcorn bag...gone to wash out the cup in the gents bathroom and then gone for a free refill at the drink and popcorn kiosk:eek::eek:

His wife was over the moon thinking he'd "bought" it for her!!!:eek::eek:

I "go shopping" in the store room and garage for myself, Mum and aunt on a regular basis. They just have to give me a "shopping list" and I do my best to provide.
Nice integral garage so can go in whenever I like, but needs a good sort out, getting hard to find anything
