"Turn the thermostat down a degree, even better fit WiFi controlled thermostatic radiator valves then you can just heat one room  "

Use a slow cooker to batch cook meals then freeze in portions for quick "ready" meals. You can use cheap cuts of meat, bulk out with lots of veg/pulses and it's much cheaper to run a slow cooker for 8hrs than an oven. Apparently. Cheap meals en mass  |

"Throw your kids out so they don't leave all the windows open in the winter and every bloomin light on, all year round.
Showers. Why do teenage boys have showers that last for hours?!  "
That one is beyond me as I have two of the other kind. 
But if I can remember correctly it was the only place to get some peace and your mother couldn't walk in because of the lock on the door!!!  |

And you can actually get something from the fridge. |

It takes time to ensure a clean penis.  |

Sell stuff you no longer want/use on buy/sell sites.
You might think that nobody wants that 1970’s framed picture of a Mallard at Play, but Dave in Dagenham is ready to bid up to £5.99 plus postage costs for it!

"Showers. Why do teenage boys have showers that last for hours?! "
When I was a teenager, my mum told me to stop blowing my nose in the shower because it was causing stains on the side of the bath. I was all, like “What? I don’t blow my nose in the shower!” And she was all, like “well, whatever it is, stop it”. Later on that night I realised she was being the queen of diplomacy. Well played, mum. Well played. |

Our bathroom resembles the fucking rainforest after he's finished. There's less humidity in the Amazon |

I was talking to a friend this morning and she said she tries to save a bit of electricity by making sure that everytime she cooks something in the oven for dinner, she also cooks a second meal for another day. Sometimes even two extra meals. |

Hot water bottle, hoodie and blanket. Also, keeping your feet warm pretty much ensures all of you stays warm meaning you won't need to put the heating on |

Because they're dirty and they smell. |

Last winter I would put the flickering flame on our fire, made a 'ooh that's nice' comment whilst holding my hand in front of the fire and handed out faux fur blankets to the kids. They took ages to realise that I never put the actual fire on, just the light. ... it saved me money though

There is nothing quite like a teen boy's bedroom smell. I have three teen boys.  |

Bleach your old t-shirts in a 50/50 mix of bleach and water. Hang them up wet on coat hangers to allow the air to circulate over them until they change colour completely
Wash in the machine
Ta-dah!
A new t-shirt
Fun fact - it takes 2000 litres of water to grow the cotton for just one t-shirt, often in some of the most water deprived areas of the world. |

With the price of petrol Yiu can also run your car on it. "
But it's not good to waste good alcohol when it over 40 percent taste like a punch |

Steal from big Tesco but make sure it is after 11pm on a weekday as the security is pretty lazy around that time.
If you are running low on milk go for a walk at 5am and see if your neighbours have had any delivered. If you're lucky they will have some cheese and yoghurts too.
Go to McDonald's and take as many straws as you want and they will not ask any questions.
If you're feeling really brave go the supermarket and pick up around £20 worth of snacks and go to a busy queue. And then act like you've lost your last £20 of the month when it comes to paying. You need to put on some acting skills and pretend you're really living it rough and usually the person behind will pay for you.
Hope that helps. X |
