    Get your rulers out boys. Will need to be fully erect, so bears, think of 50% falls by Christmas, gold rampers think of nuclear carnage, and bulls think of Geneer flipping burgers as prices escape him.

    I'll think about fences.

    Is this totaly clear and for disresionary spending only such as meals out or saving? Or does this 'left over' sum end up going on repairs / pressies / parties / lawnmowers:beer:

    £840 is what I'm left with after all my obligations, does not account for repairs, pressies etc.

    There are always exceptions to the rule and I stupidly always get the first round in.

    I once realised that a mate from Edinburgh was timing the end of the evening that I bought the last round, hence I was always buying one more than him (cheecky bar steward).

    That said, they do say that copper wire was invented after two Scotsman were fighting over a penny ;)

    How random is this?
    I was asked to look into a part and when I opened up the drawing, this was centre stage.

    I have around £1K a month disposable income, the funny thing is my salary is about 30% lower than 3 years ago but my disposable income is almost exactly the same.

    I have lots left.

    I also have a fast car.

    Oh.

    Oh dear.

  • Wow, this is all very interesting stuff.

    I'm afraid I do once per year, I even painted the underside with hammerite this year so as the metal lasts longer - no wonder I'm always busy with sh11t

    ha I love it, I too look after things and budget for absolutely everything. I like the term disposable income to really mean 'disposable' and to be spent or saved as I choose.

    I laugh when I see people at work say I am skint this month as I have to pay my car insurance or my car needs servicing or I need new glasses so I cant do sod all and have no money, yet the month before and the month before that they have been out of the pop every weekend. Its called a budget for a reason!
