When you think your OH has been over-enthusiastically watering down the handwash and he thinks you have and it turns out to be your 4 year old who 'thought it would save some more money'.....
Actually said 4 year old also has a hissy fit if people leave lights etc on as well now. She's ruined for life!

Thats so sweet:A

Jinky, it is sweet until you're out somewhere and she says loudly 'can we afford that'/'you said we couldn't afford that'/'do we have enough money for'...... but I'd rather she were like that and free of debt as an adult!

When you go to Pizza Hut and have eat as much as you like deal. Load up your tummy and then load up your plate again with pizza then ask the waitress if she can put it in a box to take home as its only gonna get binned!! You'll have eaten so much, so wont need to eat for a couple of days, then have the leftover pizza for few more days!! :-)

• A couple of months ago a bought a cross stitch for £8 on ebay as I reasoned that it’d probably take 6 months to complete – that’s 6 months of nights in not spending any money = good investment, and it has been!!! I still get warm feelings when I realise I am spending my time cost free
• When having an empty purse means you haven’t drawn out any money not that you’ve spent you money
• Whether you have a take away on Friday night is based solely on how much you have left in the PAP/Moozie weekly challenge fund!
• When you make number 2 at work rather than at home to save on loo paper
• When it’s a good day when NSD can be written in bright pink highlighter across your diary!
• When you apply for a CC every 3 months just for the quidco cash!

OMG, I'm nodding in agreement but I don't want to admit to some of the things on this list I have done!! :rotfl:

....when u have been eating the same thing for dinner for the last three days because u made too much and there's no room in the freezer!

When you deliberately made too much by adding more cheap pasta than you need so the tuna/ham/chicken makes 3 meals instead of one.

When you stay in all day to save spending any money at all

When you shout out yes at work when you log on to pigs back and see a new click for 5p

when your 15 y o DS takes the mickey by saying ina very sarcastic voice
"I dont want a mothers day card what a waste of 30p"

Or as in our case, strictly telling DH that if he wastes any money on cards, flowers or any other crap for me for mothers day he'll be in real trouble! (As goes for Valentines, Easter, birthdays etc!). When DS is old enough, maybe next year, he can make me one which will mean far more than a load of shop-bought tosh!

when you manage to bag flights for 2 pence return, and all you do is moan about being charged £2 PER PERSON to pay by debit card !! Cheek of it!

AND...
When the jiffy bag that postie just delivered made you go :mad: cos it wasn't the freebie you were expecting, but a bargain pc programme (£18 thru employee scheme - £150 in shops!!) Hmm...:think:
