    No PADs here I'm afraid.My money saving hasn't been so great of late.
    I wanted a ticket to see my local team play at Manchester United in the cup. The only way I could guarantee getting a ticket was to buy a half season ticket because season, and half season, ticket holders are being given priority. They sold about 300 season tickets in one day apparently. Good marketing that.

    So that's £127 for the half season ticket.
    £41 for the match ticket.
    £30 for the coach ticket.

    Ouch !!

    Funny how money can be found when there's something I really want to do. To pay for it, I paid the remainder of my tax bill with a credit card. Naughty.
    The half season ticket isn't as bad as it sounds though.
    I would have gone to some of the remaining home games anyway. I'll just go to more of them now to make sure I get my money's worth
    :D . It also works out that the individual games are cheaper when you pay that way.
    I will pay for it by having no more chocolate until next Christmas (starts to well up in tears).
    On the plus side, I'm being treated to a curry tonight in a fairly nice place where they really do know how to make curries properly. Even many of the local Asian community eat there so I guess it must be good.

    So I have fallen off my wagon bigtime.
    Mind you, the above - plus a one week holiday in the Summer - will be my only treats this year. (Well I might get some sex too if I'm really lucky but that's free anyway).
