    Is nice hearing you talking about what you could do seeing as I'm yet to get going on really doing very much at all :)

    Well... my talk is cheap. Let's see what I really end up doing, eh!
    :)
    Will need to buy a swing top bin though :)
    I've been going without here and using supermarket plastic bags - because they're not cheap at £8 and as they last 10-20 years I didn't want to get the wrong shape/size/colour for when I did buy a house.

    It's still fresh in my memory. I am the person who didn't tell most people about my new job until I'd started it (just in case).

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Sounds like a teenagers job list!:D

    Downside is no teenagers available :eek: Have to do them myself.

    You can tell by the number of 'cleaning' tasks that I have been in a distracted phase:D

    Top tip: If you lay on the sofa all the time and don't move, you're not making a mess that needs clearing up.

    I've got a family friend who never has spend more than a few pounds a week on toilette paper. She bragged about it. I didn't tell her that it was because she spends all her time visiting other people and never actually uses her own toilette.

    That's got to save on total hours spent cleaning as well.

    I'd say my bill's well under £1/week and I never go out.... I buy bulk/cheap :)

    I'm sure it costs about £0.30-£0.35/roll .... at most. Not cheapest, but cheap/good.
