to think people who are crying poor should not eat

[DwainRooney]

Warburtons seeded batch bread.

On BBc news yesterday the roving reporter was out and about in a working mans house talking about the cuts and the people where complaining about losing money but in the background on the breakfast counter was a warburtons seeded loaf at about £1.70
Now if I had to tighten my belt I would be buying cheaper bread

People must realise that we have to live within our means and if that involves buying economy bread then so be it
If your income is reduced then so must your expenditure

problem solved
spend less buy cheaper

I am talking about a litre bottle put on top of the radiator.The warm air rises and warms the water up,not a great deal but it is not cold from tap and in winter it comes out very cold

Alternatively, save money by not putting the heating on in the morning, or is that a bit radical?

Oh, and I don't wipe my bum on newspapers, because I don't waste money on buying newspapers. That's another three loafsworth a week.

Perhaps get rid of the broadband too, eh?

Dwain, are you David Cameron?

Bring back the workhouses.

Okay, well coffee wastage is symptomatic of a certain attitude to money, I guess some people waste money(like me) and some don't, like my mother., Now even though my parents have money they do not waste it, but they're not tight either. As a child despite my parents having very low paid jobs we always had a holiday, we didn't have a washing machine, TV or car but always a holiday, enough for clubs and activities. I'd say my mother was a refect example of what to do with money.

That's what I mean, too. It takes a lot of energy to heat up water. If you've got a bottle of water on the radiator, then it's heating up the water instead.

You could leave the water out overnight, then it wouldn't be cold from the tap.

perfect.

DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

DON'T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements.

SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.

very disappointed that OP proved to be about one specific food - hoped at last that someone had realised that the solution to the whole prob. is to stop 'em eating.

At all.

that would put a stop to them for sho.

"Have you considered selling the bed and sleeping on the floor? Mght get a tenner on ebay!..."

Saw a TV program about that once - SS buy bed, mother sells it. SS buys another bed. mother sells it. SS can't let kid without a bed and weren't inclined to take it into care ...

ehating not on here anyway but I assume you're not in wales then? (- figures last night; some pensioners no doubt dead)

LADIES! DON'T waste money on expensive razors to shave your legs- pretend your new "hairy trousers" are the latest trend in NY!

Keep the doors shut to keep the heat in
i.e. never leave the room you are currently in again

I am actually wearing hairy trousers as we speak. When I took my socks off last night I freaked out a bit because I thought saomething was crawling on me, as it turned out it was just the hair on my legs springing back up.

I know you want me, I can see it in your eyes.

You have my sympathy, Gideonsmum. I'm extremely spoilt, being in the south east, so am not impelled to put my heating on until pretty much the depth of winter. (Mostly I just stick on another jersey and another, until I begin to resemble a sober-coloured beach ball.) But I hope you realise I was responding not entirely seriously to the suggestion that money could be saved by warming up water before putting it in the kettle; if people are that poor they have to think carefully before having the radiator on in the first place, so these money-saving tips (like "buy bread without seeds and save yourself 40p a week") are of only, shall we say, limited value.

That's a point actually. Poor people should not live in cold parts of the country. They should all move somewhere warmer so they don't have to shell out on heating or winter coats, and the water will be half way to boiling before it even gets in the kettle. Sorted!

Annie yes I got that LOL.

But I thought that poor people had to live in cold areas by statute, hence Scotland, North East, Wales..... spotting a link?

Sorry Riv.

(I wish it wasn't true, but I did actually leap up out of my chair shouting "GETOFFGETITOFFME!" and then "Oh, it's ok everyone, it's just my leg hair" FFS)

I hope you're reusing those T-Bags? Waste not Want Not and all that.

ALCOHOL makes an ideal substitute for happiness.

ROFL at attacking leg hair

don't waste those bread bags

no 24 is my favorite

8.Or bright ribbons for your hair

I am fucking well doing this and wearing them to the Christmas Meet.
