Bea Smith Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Toilotries to the tune of ?25 with my boots points. 2 for 1 cinema tickets via orange wednesday and 20% off food at Chiquitos with a voucher. And thats just today. So in a world were frugality is becoming more essential, what things do you remember doing to save money, what did your parents do and what do you suggest? Soap miser- what the frig was that ridiculous thing from betterware or kleeneze or some wank sunday supplement magazine? bung in all the sraps of soap and squash it together to make.... a congealed mess! ( i think that was a nanna and grandad special) Did you know that cheap house vodka doubles as nail varnish remover and pound shop aftershave doubles as cheap vodka?

no balls Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My mum turns up every week with an M&S food parcel. Now, that's frugal! Oh, and anyone who has one of those energy check monitor things, they're advertising on the tv, on their mantepiece, kill yourself now, please.

no balls Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Is suicide essential if its not on a mantlepiece? If it's in a prominent place where it's often looked at & comments made like oooh, did you know the bathroom light uses.... then severe self harm should be mandatory.

Bea Smith Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sounds more than reasonable. Another one of my pet hates is people on a water meter who will only flush their toilot if they have had a poo. Cos that will save a whole fiver over the year. i assume they would flush after vomitting ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm sure my brother, who's a nob, put some sort of brick in his toilet cistern a few years ago. I only found this out as I mentioned he seemed to have water pressure issues when I'd flushed it & he proudly told me about it. I'd only had a wee, which was good job. Is it worth carrying on with your life if you can't even flush a plop away properly due to tight fistedness? We're share no genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bea Smith Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I hope it was a brick that was a donation from a skip and not one he actually purchased! that would clearly never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
