...when you can sum up your financial status as either;

a) skint = day to day life

b) megaskint = when unexpected expenses have to be paid

c) superskint = the week before payday and your out of everything and can't shop from home and have to use you Tesco vouchers to buy shopping and it kills you to do it.

....when you talk about Mr Martin Lewis as if you actually know him and nod sagely at the telly or radio and say 'oh I know about that, Martin also has these tips re this'.....

When you find yourself doing a tour of all the local branches of the Body Shop and get a free sample of a foundation you already know is the right colour from each, to save you spending £12 on a new tube. Little know fact-they have tiny pots, but you have to ask

Don't be embaressed, be proud! Top tip!

I have an online freebie offer foundation sample - just need to find a completely free social event to match. lol:rotfl:

When every time you spot a bit of non-everyday cleaning needing doing you think "I wonder if (insert as appropriate white vinegar/borax/soda crystals/etc will deal with that).

This week:
- found some white mould on clothes. Threw them in a normal wash (ie soap nuts and 50C) and then decided I'd try for killing the mould spores with tea tree essential oil (so threw a cup of water with few drops of tea tree in the drum and did an extra rinse). They seem fine so far.

- found some white mould on window seal just now and wiped it off with white vinegar. Seems to be okay now.

I managed to clean a plastic shower curtain the other day with Virgin Vie salt scrub -used to be a rep and this was a leftover sample that I knew I would never use as personally found it too oily for my skin. Also then decided to try it on the limescale round the taps - and it worked!!

Saved buying a new one before we move!

You know you've gone to far when:.....

The cat brings you a mouse every meal time

You tell the cat she's on a diat and she moves in next door

The cat starts to bark because you've given her free dog food samples

You brush the cat and keep the fur to restuff the quilt

The cat never rifles your bin

The hightlight of your social calander is watching your cat instead of going to the pub cos you don't want to spend money....:rotfl:

When you turn into a nipper-nipping bits off plants in other folks gardens, and getting your own for free, or in garden centres-ooh the shame of it. but i do have some nice plants.
learned that one from my gran.
