Nope still blocked. You're telling me it's worrying! It drives me mad we have no spending money at this point in our lives (case in point, I need razor blades and new knickers but also a hair trim, so I've chosen to get my hair trimmed this month and keep up the blunt razor) but it's not getting any worse, and I'm clinging to that as the positive and hoping the business will be brining in enough by the end of the year that I don't have to worry about it too much now. We have put about £1000 into the business so far, but it takes it to make it and all that.

I thought it was homemade tapas? Did I make that up?

I went for a meal with the girls last weekend and we were given the wrong bill, we were about to pay it until we noticed something we hadn't had - we sent for the right one and then were nervous in case it came out more expensive but luckily it was cheaper!!

Edit:

Could you buy the new razor and do your own hair with it?! :money:

Lol I really hope you're kidding Tete!

It was homemade Tapas - scarily that £60 didn't include any meat or booze as we already had that in, that was just veg and some milk and cheese. I STILL don't get how it came to £58.

Really? £58 for veg, milk and cheese? Blimey, I know Manchego can be expensive, but..!!

Good Lord, I forgot that the £60 was for a homemade meal! Next time people come round just serve pizza!

Or.... ask them to bring their own food and drink! :rotfl:

Birdie I just laughted a mouthful of water onto my screen and keyboard.

To be fair we are still working on the leftovers.

Lol when I said to my brothers gf I'd suggested a restaurant as our house is such a bomb site my brother chirped in with 'but its cheaper this way Ames, we're students!'

N.I.M

A part of me wanted to hand him the receipt and point out we're mortgage payers...but I was on my best, for a change

Birdie85

Pah... tell the bleedin' students to come talk to you when they've got a mortgage and bills, then they'll get skint!

ETA: Great minds clearly think alike NIM!

Yeah cheaper for who?! (I know that should be for whom but I feel such a prat saying that!) Agree with Birdie, it's on them next time haha!

Reminds me of the time I was on hols last year and came home and my Dad (who had a big 2l car at the time) said "Oh I was meaning to go out for a nice long drive in your car while you were away, I haven't been for a long drive anywhere in ages and it's cheaper in your Micra, but I never got around to it" I was like, "yeah, cheaper for who, were you going to replace the petrol?" And he looked sheepish and said he hadn't thought about it!! :mad::mad::mad: I hide my car keys now when I go away, I was actually fuming about that!
