    If I had to, I would. BUT, if I was sure I'd gathered all the free newspapers that came through my door, and the doors of my neighbours if they didn't need them (I might, just might, rifle through recycling bins under cover of darkness) ... and then cut it up into squares ...

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    depriving oneself of necessities - even though they could be afforded! Simply in order to be frugal! if you want to do that - there are convents and monasteries out there who would be happy to have you!
