    Hello.

    Spent 60p in the pub last night.

    Still have £2 to put in my pot.


    Think I'll stick with £15 again - but the following week will be more, as my outlaw mother and I are going to see Riverdance, and I need to pay her for my ticket.

    Rookie mistake - didn't write everything down and as a result I don't know exactly how much I've spent :confused:

    I'm just going to say I went over by less than £10, can't be more accurate than that.

    Pointy penguin, there is nothing wrong with being a geek, I've been geeky all my life and am now relishing in the fact that it appears to be cool!

    Also, is the thread up for next week yet? I feel the need to get back on it lol!

    I'm intrigued - what costs only 60p in the pub?

    Me too, my money is on a small draft soft drink or peanuts.

    ladymay you need a spending diary to help you keep track I would be lost without my monkey notebook. Everytime I open him to write in a spend he stares at me with his beady eyes.

    Raychee why is your mother an outlaw or is it just a turn of phrase I am sometimes dense with these things.

    Welcome to fizz26 I have added you to the new thread. You can join our happy gang.

    A packet of cheeselets - I needed the salt! I was working! :)


    Outlaw mother - is my OH's mum. We're not married, so she isn't an in-law, but as we've been together for 12+ years, she may as well be - hence being an outlaw - does that make sense? :D
