Bloody recession

Now my car has given up the ghost and I'm on foot until it gets sorted out. So I've been thinking of some ways I could pull in my belt to save some money to pay the €2,000 - €3,000 bill I'll be sent if I end up having to have a new automatic gearbox fitted.

You know, saving money by buying clever reusable items instead of throwaway things. Things like this or perhaps even this for example for me, Rachel and Lara.

lol...as an unabashed and difficult to embarrass twenty year old (waaaaaaay back in the day) I ended up buying...ahem..."mooncups"...for my closest girlfriends and my sister. Everyone was weirded out at first but all of them thanked me later.
