    Stealing someone's toilet roll while visiting them! Someone posted that they'd done that but I think that's taking frugality too far.

    I wouldn't eat offal (except liver in pate). For me, heart/brains/kidneys is a big no no _pale_

    :sad:

    But, I have to say, for me, it's turning off the shower for the 30 seconds - 1 minute it takes to lather up.

    For the amount of water it saves - to be turned into a shivering wreak, sorry but ...... nooooooooo!

    I'm so glad i'm not on a water meter and even if i was, the one thing i would refuse to accept in my house and thats not flushing the loo when youve urinated. Sorry, every gallon/litre is worth every penny when it comes to flushing the loo.

    Oh but rising... kidneys are where wee is processed _pale_

    I remember having a houseguest whilst I was pregnant - this person cooked a meal (for himself) of kidneys and I had to leave the house as the smell of hot, cooking urine was enough to make my nose dissolve.

    I will never forget it! Mind you, when I was pregnant my sense of smell was incredible!
