    - we used to live next door to a posh lady who would regularly 'borrow' a potato or an egg to make her husband's tea. I used to look after her kids occasionally. I never made them chips though.
    - the Zipmogs are partial to a Chinese takeaway
    they are not uninteresting Zipps. In fact, I wonder why its always posh people who are frugal-ist ?

        My Auntie Marj is frugal.

        She recycles envelopes and wrapping paper and won't ever buy a first class stamp.

        That must be why she's minted.

                ms doodab is like that. Sometimes she walks into the office and turns the light off to save electricity. Even when I'm bloody sat there....
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
