CREEP OF THE WEEK

So the gremlin of Paretai Drive reckons he cant afford to live on $1000 a week? Whatever.

Time to make do. Muriel Newman put out an excellent book on budgeting a few years back.

And here are some handy hints on how to live on $1000 a week.

• Make your own brekky, lunch and dinner.
• Clean your own toilet.
• Do the dishes by hand .
• Turn off the spa pool.
• Shop at Pak and Save
• Take the bus.
• Sell all the clothes you dont wear on Trademe - in fact any spare stuff - like breitling watches, your missus sparklers, would be good.
• Get your missus to dye her own hair at home.
• You could do her brazilian and pluck her chin hairs.
• shampoo the dog your self.

Thats just a few for starters..
