    ...as opposed to threads and threads - right !?

    Configure the usage of the site better, and pages and pages wont annoy you!

    Lol...! I've tried....but thats not the point. Its clearly a popular topic of discussion, and I have no issue with that. Just a little better usage would make soooo much sense. Worrying about pages and pages is a little feeble....

    It does not make sense rationally having 28-31 new threads in a given month each discussing the same thing....its messy and clogs the boards. 365 in a year....of course.

    I agree with Will


    Today

    £1.50 on fish with few freebie chips on top ;) from a local chippie

    £74 for an Egg cress sandwitch - asda

    20pence for a bag of 5 jam donuts approaching their sell by date.

    £1.36 for a 2 litre diet coke bottle.

    So .. today was a binge spending day :D

    Well....I'm hardly going to have a following if others like me are avoiding this type of thread too am I !!?!

    Besides...its unlikely anyone will be posting on this particular thread tomorrow anyway and so my words here will be lost.

    Just thought I'd try and rationalise a thought with some of you to make the world a better place....failed miserably.

    Exit time! Lol !

    Just an afterthought.....why does anyone here "worry" about what others have spent today if of course there other bigger and better things to worry about!!!

    I think thats what foxes me....

    I have never found a single new remotely useful piece of information in here and cant figure out why so many people post what really is informationless snippets of text - and it is sensless to me why anyone would want to talk about what they have spent today in the morning or halfway through when the day is not over !!

    Seems its just me....who thinks like that.

    Perhaps I should try it one day...

    go on lopo tell us what u spend

    i think the main pt is that people always advise people to keep a record of what they spend each month to stop wastage...by posting on here it shows dedication and why bother cheating??? it keeps me on the straight and narrow and like today it hink...£5 on food and drink...thats 2-3 complete days food for me and more and it makes me go back to making pack lunchs.

    just simple things like that

    so come on what did u spend today and on what
