Cool thread (I am one nosey mofo). I keep an eye on my spending and have a couple of spreadsheets of my regular outgoings so I'll just paste them in here, here's the one from 11.09.2008

Keep 125
Bus Pass 45
Gym 30
Phone 40
ISA 300
Food 120
MMA 20
Green 35
Petrol 30
Protein 25

And the latest one:

Keep 125
Bus Pass 50
Phone 40
Food 40
MMA 0
Green 20 Looking more like 20 at the moment
Petrol 10 Looking more like 10 (Petrol prices dropped and not going JJB)
Protein15

Protein??? Seems very expensive, whatever it is. Green? Likewise.

Great username, BTW.

Welcome!

I'd give him/her a clap... but somehow that seems to be not helping the situation

Thank you for the warm welcome

Protein is actually quite cheap (I get it from Myprotein and only have 1 milkshake a day now), you wanna see the prices of the Maximuscle stuff - if you take it as they recommend it will cos you over £100 a month! It was all part of the lifestyle when I was going to the gym and eating LOTS of food as well as training in MMA. Now I'm doing a part time degree so I don't have time for it all. The good thing is this saves me around £140 a month (protein, food, mma, petrol), the bad side is that I'm now a skinny little weed, but that's life I s'pose.

I buy my protein, creatine and l-glutamine in huge tubs and so save a fortune. Mrs Dither goes mad cos they're too big to fit in the cupboards and so are shoved on top of the fridge, making the kitchen look 'messy'.

Our outgoings are £800 in direct debits (mortgage, insurances, bills, gym, etc.), £600 to our pension funds (2x£300 each to mine & Mrs DD), £100 to the kids university fund, £1400 to Mrs Dither's house keeping (food, kid's activities, nights out, etc).

Am I the only one who buys my protein in more traditional containers such as chicken, eggs and cheese?
