Thanks darl, the boys were running all over the place shouting "were going camping, finally were going camping" at the top of they lungs! Been promising to take them for ages, but always had to reply on other people to take us.

Anyway today we will be back on track. As the ommelltte stuff is still there waiting to be eating.
So chuffed myself means we can go the green gathering this year !!!!!!!!:rotfl:

We usually get a takeaway every fortnight or so usually. Sometimes by Friday evening I just don't want to face cooking, though I generally enjoy it when I'm not feeling tired.

What I usually do with takeaways these days, at least with an Indian or Chinese is to only order the curry/meat part and cook the rice ourselves, since its 10-a-penny if you buy a bag from the supermarket and you usually pay £2/portion at the takeaway.

This thread is exactly what I needed!!!! I thought it was just me and my partner who struggled with takeaways...

I reckon we spend around £100 a week eating out - beit takeaway, dinner in pub etc.

It has to stop...

I won't join in. I spend about £5/month on takeaways ... usually an indian biryani, which does me for two days.

Can i join in please?
This is a fab idea
Me and OH have been doing this ourselves the last 2 weeks and so far we've done really well but temptation is always around the corner.
In the past we have been known to go through 3-4 take aways a week (not every week we weren't that bad, me and OH used to work shifts), the amount of money we must of wasted is shocking. So we've decided that everytime we fancy a take away we're gonna stick £20 in to our isa instead.

mr & mrs doomcow are in for this

lets try to reduce takeaways to 6 max this month. will save the additional cash also.

main issue is tiredyness and just so easy to call for chinese / kebabs.
