Doing my bit for the economy

I'm off to Cheltenham races next week.I expect to eat,drink and be merry watching glorious racing.
The down side is it may be a costly venture,£700+ or thereabouts,at least it'll be spent and benefit the economy.

    And I'm going out all day tomorrow. Rugby followed by beers and food. Could be another £100 to add to your £700.

    We'll soon have this recession licked

    Well I make that £800 so far, I found 3p behind the sofa yesterday so I'm getting some penny sweets later. Only a few hundred billion £ to go and it'll be 2004 all over again!

    Doing my bit to help Sony out myself and join the flat screen revolution, just ordered a new TV! But I am doing it because the old one has started playing up. I am definately looking to buy a car later on in the year too if I can save enough my then.
    Please remember other opinions are available.

    F*ck the economy.

    I have increased saving from 70% of disposable income to 85% disposable income last month.

    I'm in the market for a Golf GT and I would have bought one yesterday if the car had been as advertised. Instead when I got there it didn't have a verifiable service history, had 25% more miles than advertised and one more owner than advertised.

    Mad and £30 of petrol wasted!

    GRRRRRR

    I do like the 1 series but its probably a little too small, particularly as I'm often heading down to the beach with lots of kite gear.

    The 120d is really peachy fast though!
