  • If your in debt, £3.20 sounds like a lot of money to go swimming.

    Going for a walk that will cost you £0.00

    Geez, debt doesn't have to rule your life does it?! I fully intend on having a diet coke with my lunch. Tap water is £0.00 but hell, it's Thursday.

    I need to buy a Thank You card for the nice lady at Apple, a stamp and the aforementioned coke, so £2.00 for me.

    Today I have to get a bus into town and I dont know how much that costs because I used to drive there but OH sold our second car on Saturday when someone came and knocked on the door saying they were interested in buying it! So, we did make £800 on the car and now don't have to pay out tax, insurance etc on it. I reckon I will spend about £10 in town...I need a tub of fence care and some other bits and bobs in Wilkinsons. I will be getting a lift back with OH who has parked at work which is in town as he has gone to work on the train and is in London for the day. Then this evening we are doing an hour and a half drive to collect three pet chickens (£30) but the chickens will give us over a dozen eggs a week.

    So, I am spending today but have also saved quite a bit this week too. (I think!)

    Thanks bobbadog! - didn't bl**dy think I'd have to justify going for a swim:eek: It's going to take us over two years to clear our debt, so does this mean life is on hold until then? Also, I have bad back trouble and swimming helps this - walking often aggravates it! Just going now - will make sure I get my money's worth :p

    Swimming for me and my husband tonight no idea of the cost yet.

    And £4.50 for my husbands Taichai (sp?)session this morning.

    But then I will make him buy me lunch at some stage over the next week or two :rotfl: he don't get away that one.


    Must find out how much a swimming membership would cost me.


    Yours
