Very funny! The things I can't do without are my Woolies organic dark chocolate with orange, and Clinique skin care. Even if I have to eat baked beans for the rest of the month! (They are very healthy, apparently!) - Marie-Antoinette |

For the guy helping himself to someone else's stuff, you could have shouted 'Hey' from your window just to confuse him.Recession or not , you can't inconvenience others for your own comforts - Lungig |

Rough tough & selfish
14/10/2008 12:46
I simply refuse to have cheap coffee in the house, & would rather eat beans for a month than have some one forbid my 1 whiskey per day due to financial constraints!! Besides, if I DO eat beans for a month, I might not have to spend quite so much on petrol. Okay, I admit, my plan needs a bit of refining... Junior in my house says, cut back on veggies but don't touch his jellybabies! - sarah |

Funny column - food for the mind
14/10/2008 15:19
One cannot however help thinking of those who are unemployed through no fault of their own, who cannot afford even the toilet paper never mind the beers or Johnny Black and Jack Daniels.
Sadly we won't know how they get by on less than nothing. Crazy mixed up world we live in where toilet paper is more crucial than childrens lives even if they belong to other people. - GailC |
