Since bursting onto the DFW scene, I resent spending money on most things but after spending a day out yesterday and thinking I was being really good by packing a picnic - after demolishing the picnic, OH wanted a sausage roll from the kiosk on the beach. Rather begrudgingly (well, very TBH) I shelled out £1.20 for one. £1.20!!!! :eek: I'm still feeling the pain knowing I could get a pack of six for that!!!!! :mad:
