Money Saving gone TOO far?

How about still using cotton hankies? Obviously not if I have a heavy cold. I see no problem with this but work colleagues look at me strangely if I use them in their presence.

I've just scraped the kids leftovers from their plates back into the pan and will heat them up for my supper! It wont be cordon bleu but am sure it will taste ok. My dh says that is disgusting, I think its just common sense :rotfl:

What's the most disgusting thing you do?

done that many a time! but not with spaghetti hoops - draw the line at those!

Thats mad, cotton hankies are a great idea. I work in a really old fashioned place and all the chaps have cogtton hankies, ironed to a perfect square. They look nice so sod your colleagues

I have a thing about food so I wouldn't be able to have anything except the untouched food on their plates when they were little, I can just about manage pizza crusts now they are older. I actually see that as more my phobia than a sensible position though

However, I don't shave my legs , shhhhhhhhhhh

I'm the same. I can't stand eating leftovers from someones plate, I actually hate it when my OH finishes off my meals - eugh!! He says that I'm weird but I'm glad someone else is like me.

Apparently he's like that as he was brought up to clear his plate (explains the spare tyre!!) however so was I BUT I wasn't made to eat it all if I was full. Lol i'm grossing myself out now.

I have a young son aswell and I would never finish his leftovers (far too icky!!!) but i do do the dummy thing (to an extent)

well as long as you dont dip the dummy in diet coke before you shove it back in, you can be forgiven

I like very weak tea so just wiggle a teabag for a couple of seconds in my cup and then put it in a small dish until I want another cuppa....sometimes get the whole day out of one bag!

We don't use bin liners. Sometimes, a carrier bag will do but if there are none spare I just line the bin with newspaper and chuck stuff in. Sometimes, it gets very juicy ...
