friday night staying in thread

well here I am 11:30 on a Friday evening sat in while what seems like every single one of my mates is out on the lash.
Its chucking out time at my local and its hot so ive got the windows wide open & I can hear certain individuals shouting for taxis etc
(pubs just over the road, crawling distance)

ah the joys of being skint :rolleyes:

  • Thanks guys ;)

    thinking back before I started working on becoming DF...
    On a day like today i would of had no problem whatsoever with sitting outside the pub in the sun from say 3pm. Then hitting town later in the evening.
    £150 down the drain and a killer hangover in the morning :confused:

    ah the 'good' old days :rolleyes:

    If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

    Different circumstances to you (two children upstairs in bed) but the last time I went out regularly on a Friday night is probably about 7 years ago :D

    After a while you just get used to it..... get your Friday evening meal from the takeaway, get a bottle of wine and plan your 'route to midnight' on the telly.

    It gets easier :D
    Just run, run and keep on running!
