My brother talks about when he used to use the milk from his cornflakes for his morning coffee and the water from his boiled egg for his tea.

One of my mother's mantra's was, 'Waste not, want not.'

Another thing she used to say if any of us left any of our dinner (which was very seldom), "Just think of those poor starving children in Africa who haven't eaten for days!"

Fortunately, I was usually on hand to ensure any leftovers did not get binned. Mrs O still refers to me as her personal waste disposal unit. I'm not averse to clearing her plate if we're out for a meal.
