Whoa some good ideas there and some damn funny ideas too
I'm finding some of the same things - the plastic bags! All the switches go off at night - I dare not show her what/where the fuse box is!
I am quite lucky as my house is quite new and is very eco - my eleccie bill was a mere £100 for a quarter - which is the cheapest bill by some way I have seen in 10 years. I also have solar so my water is heated for free most of the time.
Where we do use up the cash is everytime we go anyhere near a damn shopping centre Rina is always "needing" something... the other day she said she needed some flat warm boots (being pregnant I could hardly argue on that one) but the UGGs came out and £225 later my head was spinning - I just said dont expect too much for valentines day and birthday and xmas - for the next 3 years...
In all honesty if she is happy and she helps me and looks after my mum so well I couldnt and wouldnt say no to the odd request like that..
Its food I'd like to explore - Moy you are correct dont eat out - probably (after the boots) the single biggest killer along with the price of Diesel! SO we get all our shopping in Tesco - and I keep saying I should pop a bit further away to Asda and give them a go..
If you have a Costco card things like chicken/rice/toilet rolls/washing liquids/dishwashing tabs - some clothing is very cheap compared to the supermarkets.
I need to stop buying gadgets
What else?
