You are 49% tight

"You're frugal, you're thrifty, but on this site that's a little bit fab."

There are some things I would not even consider doing like not paying my own way, the disappearing when it's your round or the not putting enough in when bill shared. :eek:

But must admit I do prefer if the bill is not split equal ways in big group as like to be in control of what I am spending have been told that's being tight.

I'm the same tiny, don't like getting into rounds either xx

Im 65% tight but dont do rounds and wouldn't bother saving an old diary, lol.
Haven't been so good lately as christmas is quite stressful plus work rang during a meltdown as clever A didn't deliver two items on my xmas eve delivery..oh yes, turkey and xmas pud and no subs .........had to call again today as charged full price and no mention of any refund even online....many tears later and a £20 giftcard is on its way but would sooner have had the delivery xxx
Have been babysitting as its tooo cold for a 20 month to be on site with her parents in this weather but she is a right pickle at the mo , into everything and my joints are playing up plus I have gout at the mo
Keep posting as I love to lurk when I'm low and have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017 gang xxxxxxxxxxx

Totally agree TS.
The only good thing about being on a late shift: my lunch break is about now and Boots have already marked down their sandwiches from £3.25 to 50p. :j I know I should really MSE-ly make my own at home. I guess that's why I'm only 43% tight.

That sounds like the very definition of stress. :eek:

Afternoon all! Just been for a lovely frosty afternoon walk, love this time of year when it's sunny and chilly and wintery :xmassmile I rediscovered that I quite like Baileys yesterday, really fancy one to warm me up now, pity I've missed all the deals

It's always simpler if everyone pays the same, and I can understand that it might look tight (in a bad way) to want to split it precisely, but personally I don't generally eat or drink that much as I have a small appetite and tend to be the driver, so I always end up feeling ripped off if others have had multiple courses and several bottles of wine and only suggest splitting it equally at the end of the night! :eek:

I'm 63% Tight. LOL

My wife and I used to hang out with a couple when our kids were young and nearly every time we went to a pub, the bloke would disappear to the toilet leaving me to get drinks for everyone including the kids. When it came to his round, the kids didn't need one!! I would get the next round in, again, for the kids. Then this couple would make an excuse to leave. My wife and I put up with this for about 4 years until we got fed up with them!

Also, we would go on holiday, usually Woolacombe, and after a day or two, they would turn up and stay for at least a couple of days! It's not as though they didn't have any money, they had more than us!

If they took the test they'd probably score 100% :rotfl:

Well last night I did not sleep, I planned DS1 wedding down to the last detail.... I really should have got up and wrote a list!

I'm only 63% tight:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Who on earth re-uses a diary, you can get loads for free and there is also the internet. It did not ask if you stolen a large white toilet roll for decoration for halloween but the rest made it's way into the bathroom! Or that you drink boiled water, or foraged food. Although I would never dodge a drinks round, or under tip a waitress.... so clearly I am not too tight!
