I am sure if it was that urgent he would have put it on the list!<BR/><BR/>I do waste money though - I love biscuits and sweets but cannot tolerate sugar so spend money on sugar-free ones. I also like my house hot and do not like putting sweaters on when it is cold.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02436006971485788194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38797439.post-36445228991372287542008-05-01T15:29:00.000Z2008-05-01T15:29:00.000ZYes, I think we get taken in by ads and the like that certain things are 'essential' when they aren't in reality.<BR/><BR/>Must admit I do have a mobile phone but it gets little use. It annoys me when I hear people, such as in a supermarket, phoning their other half to see what sort of soup they should buy etc. (Obviously home made soup is best!)<BR/><BR/>And fruits and veg should be what is in season. I'm sure if everyone did this we would all be a lot healthier.<BR/><BR/>But, of course, it's possible to be too sensible in life!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Mike.mickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18023483584162964442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38797439.post-59104159522197161882008-04-30T05:30:00.000Z2008-04-30T05:30:00.000ZLOL re your husband. Mine like 'big boys toys' too but he hasn't been allowed any lately either.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02436006971485788194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38797439.post-38728704719216597002008-04-30T04:29:00.000Z2008-04-30T04:29:00.000ZI don't buy dryer sheets either. My husband insist on them, but I tell him that they're pointless and he forgets about them. <BR/><BR/>I don't buy bottled water because they put chlorine in our water. It smells like a swimming pool, but is safe to drink. In the city we are moving to, we will have to buy bottled water because the water isn't safe to drink. <BR/><BR/>Quilted loo roll. We don't buy it because it fills up the septic and we have to get it pumped more often. We don't have city sewer here. <BR/><BR/>Strawberries - only when in season. Otherwise we get Mexican strawberries which are famous for having hepatitis in them.<BR/><BR/>Cable tv - I don't really care about what's on tv so I opt out.<BR/><BR/>Mobile phone - that's the only phone we have, but when we get a house, I'm hoping to use a home phone.<BR/><BR/>Hair dye - I have a thyroid problem and am going gray because we cannot afford the medication for it. I don't get hair dye though.<BR/><BR/>Children's toys - My husband, although he acts like a child, gets no toys.Melbelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839265801726168074noreply@blogger.com
