  • Went out last night and spent £5 odd on a round, came home drunk though, bought a Carling and two wicked for my round, and had about 5 bottles of wicked bought for me. Anyhow, said I would see everyone again in about July:rotfl::rotfl:
    Well it was about April last time I went out locally, so July isn't too bad a gap comparatively.

    On a mission
  • lmao, just had a call and been told I am off out tonight, not going ot cost me a penny, and my son is being taken out too to some kids disco thing. All because my mate refuses to have me spend night in by myself. Thing is its not first time I have spent it by myself, and I turned round and said, "but I have just sat down to start working my budget out for next year":rotfl:
