As I am sure you have noticed, I am extremely tight! |

I am your total opposite, Sharron. I have never saved in my long life (except to put money away for my funeral) and the nearest I have come to penny pinching is boiling an occasional organic chicken carcass for soup. I have always felt that 'something will turn up' if I am running short and the strange thing is that it has. Time and time again the Universe has come up trumps and landed great luck in my life. I have never baked a cake, eaten roadkill, made mince last three meals, eaten quorn, mended a sock, I LOVE good food and if I could afford lobster, would have it every second meal, have three credit cards for emergencies and have very little debt. |

I'm not sure that half the time children really take in the lessons their parents try to teach them. They have to learn by their own experiences. |
