Well yes I guess I do .After being married for 20yrs and being told theres no money, guess it kind of sunk in .Yesearly on it would have been true. When I moved out of the family home .I needed to borrow thousands just to get set up !!! LMAO I left with a big screen TV the cabinet it stands ( that was mine from LSL payout)on and a kitchen table plus clothes oops and our almost wornout computers LMAO thank god for parents lmao. Now I am proud to say I can finally save money and pay bills .And not feel guilty when I order a long black and cheese cake slice saturday mornings.:) But I'm still cheap one of the first things I bought was a coffee machine filter type .Cost me a whole 10 bucks at kmart .I was so happy and proud one of my female co workers said yes but michael when you get some money you can replace it!! I said why because it cost you 10 bucks lmao Still working perfectly well after a year why replace it !!!

When I was on my own, I could make my dinner out of $1.50 each night. A large supreme pizza from Aldi costs $3 and I used to split it over 3 nights with extra toppings like olives, sundried tomato, onion, capsicum and more mozzarella cheese.
A kilo of mince used to make 7 meals of bolanaise or chow mein to freeze for later on.

Got to say I forgot .I'm a member of the RAA here in Adlaide thats the NRHMA in the east . If I buy a RAA wish card to use at woolworths I save money .A $100 one costs me $95 or a $250 costs me $235 . Or in other words I spend $100 at woolies costs me $95 . Do get strange looks from teh checkout chicks I think they think I'm getting a welfare hand out lmao .

Dont worry Libs will never bring back work choices ...think about it they would be off their heads to do that' its just Gillards Gov trying to spread the usual scare tactics as desperate times for them at the moment.

I was actually listerning to a channel 10 political reporter talking on the radio .The radio presenter said why do WE all prefer liberal over labor . Felt like ringing up and saying don't speak for me I dont prefer liberal over labor . In fact I have no idea who to vote for .Was raised never to vote liberal so cant vote for them but hells bells labor hmmm .So who does that leave ? Greens have caused this by forming a minorty govt and I dont agree with them. Where are my commie brothers and sisters lmao .Dont laugh when I lived in the working class poor and unemployed port adelaide area they did in fact have a canidate even handing out leaflets . Or perhaps one nation mind u they may be a littel bit to far right to me .

Know where you're coming from on this one
There's been times when I've been so disgusted with the lot of them that I've had my name crossed off the list on voting day so as not to get fined and just walked straight out again
In fact I've felt like doing that every time the last few years
