    HELP! - my tightarse cheer has diminished somewhat today when I realised it means I can't afford to buy anything nice for the person in my life who MOST deserves it...my DH . I know the best things in life are free but it's been a long hard slog for him these last couple of years...where's the deservability-reward fairy when you need her???

    I did fib a little in the OP...I traded in the stuff I'd put on layby earlier in the year (for neices and nephews interstate) and bought books instead (prior to dental crisis) so I merrily went up to the post office this morning to post them ...STUPIDLY congratulating myself on getting something that would be easier to post...NOPE...turns out anything over 500g and you need to buy the $10 satchel for it to be cheaper Turns out I wasn't tightarse enough ...if I'd bought softcover books I might've been able to squeeze them through as letter parcels at a fraction of the cost .
