Long Words and a Short Temper


Slow-living fan, bookseller, techy geek, Jill of all trades, and all round good egg I hope.

Ask me anything

What’s the most frugal thing you do?

Last night I’d have said mine was saving all the veg’ cooking water in a jug in the fridge to make soup. I also re-use it for cooking more veg - just makes the soup even better when it comes. Just remember not to re-salt it!

But this morning I’ve discovered that if I take the top-copy of the pre-printed RNLI order forms (out of date so no further use), tear it from the carbonless copy sheet, and feed it through my printer upside-down, I can use it to print drafts and notes of things I’m working on.

Reduce, re-use, recycle… it ain’t just a slogan in this home. :o)
