Nice people thread part 5 - nicely does it

Just got back from Arbat in Acton, took the girls out for dinner and got them into bed. Armenian places are so expensive, especially in London. £260 for dinner for 4 :eek:

Written a long-winded post that could be the most valuable thing I’ll ever do on kids moneysaving (blame my kids), and now sat with a glass (no.3) of a lovely Mukuzani Special Reserve....at the bargain 20% off of £30 a bottle :eek:

I’m actually quite chuffed with myself today, even though I’ve not done a great deal...Now, got a load of feedback to consider (hopefully) and a business plan to write

Please please please all parents, check this out :cool:

Growing up we didn't go out to dinner. I do remember going to a couple of cheap eating places over the many years, for food, not "for a treat/special".

In fact I've never ever been to a posh place.
£260 for 4 ... you must be absolutely minted!!!

MINTED!!

This is really the BIGGEST POSH ALERT OF THE YEAR

Oh, children girls. I was wondering why someone would be posting atthis time in an evening with a bed full of women!

I live comfortably, I think that’s the way of wording it. I’m MF now, still don’t own a car and still don’t have as much as I’d like as far as investments (want about 3 years av. profit).

I don’t do it very often, however I had a dinner meeting with a Company Director, and coincidently took the girls with me, which actually helped matters.

This guy wants to start a record label aimed at kids, and was happy I’m so family oriented.

Used to have one of those years ago, can't remember who but I had two records. I remember Hansel and Gretel... it was a red label.

I had plans, but I had to let my income and plans crash and burn this year as I've had a terminal parent to deal with, then one that had been hiding the loss of their marbles, and 1000 emergencies and crises to deal with around this and now the property sale. Next I'll be moving on as I am in temporary accommodation, so need to reorganise things and ship out in 2 months' time.... to god knows where. I have the names of two towns floating around - never been to either of them.

So, my income's been diminishing (it's residual, but would have needed poking a bit) .... and 2x your dinner cost will be my total income this month (I don't do benefits, don't believe in it).

I used to know a music producer who did that . .
