    Would like to go - but i aint got much dosh, and lets face it, it isnt very MSE when you COULD pay some debt :whistle: but hen again, I do only live around 70 minutes away (providing NOTHING gets in the way) so I could possible go, be a boring so and so and drink coke.

    Take a flask, even cheaper :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Now if we get Immoral-Angel to do some home made bread, and we can grow some cress......who needs eggs.

    Seriously though Oscar, it's a good few weeks off the meet, (too idle to count) if you were to put £2 aside each week, then that would pay for petrol and a few soft drinks.

    Maybe we should start a Blackpool Meet Savings bit in our sigs. :confused:

    Well, I have started money saving already - Im just making some meals for work. Three portions of bolognaise at 67p each. Should be much cheaper than work (gonna take own cereal for breakfast as well) which will save me around £2 - £2.50 a day (I know - food is expensive cos its unsubsidised and contracted out)

    Maybe I should put that aside.

    Cant say I fancy just cress sandwiches though - thy're a bit on the plain side.
