I wash my clothes by hand too ... no washing machine anyway. I used to get a lot of hand-me-downs from Mum's friends and other relatives. I wear the same outfits every week, my colleagues think I only have 5 outfits which I wash and wear ... and they are more or less right.

Not very frugal on food though ... hence my lifestyle issues currently affecting my health... time to cut down on those asap ... while trying to reverse my lifetime of bad habits, I guess, I'll be loaded by the time I kick the bucket. :0)
