I don't get porridge - why have porridge when you can have chocolate???:rotfl:

Morning Hypno and all...you all sound geared up for the day with your porridge..yum.
Great that your quidco is through...£5.04 for me but every little helps.

I bought a multipack of kitkat chunky in tesco on Monday - 5 bars.....£1. So that is one a day if I am disciplined......or one an hour if I am not!

However, today I am being disciplined so still have my choccy to look forward to!

I thought the porridge would be a good idea because I am running after work and won't be home til late. Sometimes when I run I get really hungry if it is a long time since lunch, so I thought if I had porridge at midday, then my sandwiches later in the afternoon, I would be better prepared for pounding the pavements!

Today has been expensive - I exchanged £65 into foreign money for DS going away next week, and bought his season ticket for the football for next season (the earlier you buy, the cheaper it is!). To renew his ticket in his current seat is £50, so I said I would do that for his birthday. But he wants to sit in another (noisier) part of the ground, which is an extra £100......I said he would have to fund the difference himself. He is therefore putting in his paper-round money so that he can sit where he wants.

But today I have paid the full £150 and he will pay me back. At least he will have something to show for getting up and doing his round, and it is teaching him that cheaper options are available, but if you want to spend more to get a bigger/better version, you have to work for it and go without other things, so hopefully it is a good move in terms of MSE lessons!

Seems fair enough to me!!!!...and I totally agree on the MSE lessons being learnt.
I hate those days when I've loads to pay out...enjoy your run.I hope work isn't too busy/stressful for you.

Hi Hypno, not caught up with you for a while. Well done on teaching the Hypno Juniors MSE lessons - that must be quite a few paper rounds worth!

So, he needs another £100 :think: - that sounds like a plan of the stadium with old and new seats marked, divide the difference into 20 squares, for every £5 he pays you he gets to colour in a square :rotfl:

That's classic! I love it! I shouldn't laugh though. My daughter wants to get a new hamster cage. She's drawn a picture of the cage and divided it into £1.00 squares (she's 9). I don't have the heart to tell her that I don't think the hamster will make it that long...it has a lump! xx
