Put another stick on Zanna

[dot.hawkes]

just telling bez about my Great Great Grandparents, they had 23 kids, in a small farmhouse, my Mum used to tell me that if they had visitors, Old John Normanton would say to his wife Zanna, 'Put another stick on't fire Zanna, we've got company'.

I'm no naturally frugal!!! Are you a meany?

Your great great grandmother deserved a medal - but I think it's lovely to have a large family.

Wouldn`t say mean but I always turn the heating down when I go out

tut @ Elvis, never mind who staying home either i bet lol

[ELVIS68]

Quite right..I`d go mad if it was on in an empty house

Most people turn lights off when they leave the house...I turn them off when I come in, everyone is in the same room but there`s lights on everywhere

Sound just like my old man years ago lol

Elvis,
I run around turning out lights yelling, "DO YOU OWN STOCK IN CON ED?" like my mother used to. Makes me laugh.

(Con Ed is our lighting company)

I'm sorry - I can't help how much it costs, but lights are a necessity in our house! It can be spooky enough during the day!!! Lol.

My missus goes out and leaves lights on in the hallway!

Her excuse..."It looks nicer from the outside" FFS!!!
