My family are SUCH misers!

OK i thought i'd dedicate this to what my family have done over the years to save money...

Ok my mum and dad had just bought a new tv (old one had broke) at a brilliantly discounted price. However it won't fit in the boot so they call the supermarkets mini cab service. The building next to the car park has scaffolding on and it is a very windy day. As the van pulls up the scaffolding peels of the building and crashes down to the ground and hits the back of the truck (no one was hurt). Mum and dad step protectively in front of the tv to protect it. They check the guy was all right and soon a new van pulls up. They drive up the hill and when they get to our house the guy in the van says its £10 if you want help to carry the TV into the house and then install it. Mum and dad aren't going to pay £10!!!!! So they turn him down and he drives off. Ok just to explain something, this is a 32inch TV and it isn't a flatscreen, its one of the ones with a big back, IT WAYS A TON!!!!!!!! So mum and dad pick it up and go foot by foot (with a five minute break in between) and then up the stairs and into the pink room. When i get back from school i see them panting and drinking a cup of tea in front of the tv, which had taken 5 hours to carry up the stairs then install!!!!!! All for the sake of a tenner!

OK isabelle is in airport at someplace and she has an extremely heavy bag with her, I couldn't lift it, BUT you have to pay $2 for those trolley things and she isn't having that so she picks it up and stumbles across a HUGE airport with a break every 30 seconds!!!

Ok me and my mum are coming back from heathrow airport at 4 in the morning, we haven't slept for nearly 36 hours and as we get out of the airport we can barely walk. We see a row of black cabs pulled up besides the airport but mum isn't going to shell out for the £30 it would cost to go back by cab! so, with our luggage, we go to the bus that will take us to the nearest train station, and get the train then walk for a bit to get a bus then walk some more to get the train home... it took 3 hours... and we walked for half an hour of it... £30 FFS!!!!!!!!!!!
