DJ360 6,721 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Never Empty the Bath! If you take a hot bath.. when you get out.. let the water go cold before you pull the plug. That way, the heat you paid for stays in your house. You can do this on a smaller scale with the kitchen sink etc. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,599 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I got 46%. But some of the questions were not applicable to me, like going on a first date. That's so long ago there were no such things as 2 for 1 vouchers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,181 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I got 84 on the MSE thing, ooer I'm a mega skinflint lol. Spent new year on a line dancing weekend in a hotel at Stafford & snaffled all the teabags, coffee, sugar & milk sachets, biccies, shampoo & soap out of the room. We were bed, breakfast & evening meal, so I nicked some cobs, butter & ham/cheese from breakie buffet for lunch. There was a Co-op round the corner so bought wine, orange juice & lemonade from there & sneaked them into the dance hall, J2O was £2-20 a bottle at the bar so saved a bob or three... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Annesleyred1865 137 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sometimes the better half wants to eat Sunday dinner out but I then begin to systematically pull all likely pubs and restaurants apart. Then while we're umming and arring tell her Id sooner have her Sunday dinners anyway. Kerching saved a bob or two and still in good books Quote Link to post Share on other sites
