    Basically the OP is a frugal money saver

    She buys the cheapest meal wherever she goes. Her mate however decides she like's a variety of food so spends a couple of quid more. The OP polishes her plate off but her mate always leaves food on the plate.

    The OP then bangs on about the importance of money saving and she thinks her friend should be like her

    That's the jist of it. Was quite taken back when i read it so i may have missed bits out (just wanted to post lol)
    Ah.

    That does sound pretty pathetic to be fair...

    Thanks for cluing my in Rossy! :)

    If the OP was a real frugal moneysaver she'd order less for herself and polish off her mates leftovers!

    I think you have captured the sad pathetic essence of the original post.

    Funny you should say that as the OP admitted to polishing off her mates chips the other week when she got an all singing and dancing burger lol
