I asked the man that unloaded it if he could take my name off the list. He didn't seem to see the funny side.<br />Last year i took a load of waste paper to the toilet roll factory in Ramsbottom.

If I am feeling extra industrious, I cut paper into various sizes, gluing one side with pva to make a pad, or little bits to go in a box that used to hold a block of paper. Or if all else fails, cut into roughly A5 size and shove in a bulldog clip. All my scrap paper gets used eventually.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-76733201686978835342013-11-11T21:05:11.184+00:002013-11-11T21:05:11.184+00:00We're shredding old bills and junk mail in ord...We're shredding old bills and junk mail in order to make paper logs for our wood burning stove!!gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-2670284618945643892013-11-11T19:33:59.448+00:002013-11-11T19:33:59.448+00:00You could say you were talking rubbish!!

House prices are reckoned to be rising and soon everyone will be moving house and taking on a big mortgage but the low interest rate has only one way to go. <br />So we've got to resist the temptation and (speaking for myself) carry on being frugal.<br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
