    LOL, sewed up the inbred holes in my socks, because although I love to buy socks I hate to toss them out! Thanks for the friend request, btw--approved, and proud to count you as a friend!

    I don't mend. I make a pile that can be used as sponges or dusters for cleaning.

    dead leaves raked in a pile

    Last time I fitted my video card with a new fan when the original failed.

    or what it when i replaced the lamp socket on my bedside lamp when the switch broke?

    I seem to make a habit of it.

    I do it all the time. I won't throw something out if there is something I can do to fix it.

    As always! 'Make do and mend' is my governing principle towards frugal living.
