    Delurking not just because those mugs are beautiful but because my grandmother used to save wrapping paper and iron it. You've really made me smile with that memory😀

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    My Gran also used to whisk the wrapping paper away - until Grandad stopped her doing it 🤣 She never stopped cutting out images from Christmas cards with pinking shears to use as gift tags though 🩷

    Erm… sorry, am I being too MSE when I save wrapping paper (albeit I do usually only use it for the present-stealing game, having got a stash of fabric wrapping bags)? And I definitely chop up my Christmas cards for tags - why wouldn't you?!

    Lovely tits Jessy 🤣 (someone had to say it!)

    @Watty1 Aww I'm glad that it brought back a happy memory. I wonder if it's something they were taught at school 🤣

    @daisy_1571 thank you x

    @South_coast haha brilliant! I do cut out pictures on Christmas cards with my crinkle scissors for gift tags though. Funnily enough, something my nan taught me to do 🤣

    @themadvix Haha, sorry vix! I do cut pictures out of cards with my crinkle scissors and I do save gift bags, but i don't do the wrapping paper one. Maybe I should start in honour of my nan! P.S. Appreciate the compliment regarding my tits 🤣

    I've been mortgage free once, so let's do it again!
