I got Mrs B to keep all her receipts for January, as did I.
Put them all in a spread sheet this morning, broken down by subject.

It's scared the shit out of her. GOOD. £750 a month on food? Ridiculous.

I don't use credit cards.

You could buy a fucking sheep for £30

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:30, Reply)

Probably get a non-fucking one for less than that.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:32, Reply)

Where's the fun in that?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:33, Reply)

( wanderlust, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:27, Reply)

A little bit.
Not anymore though.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:27, Reply)

Good.
Those people make me sad.
( wanderlust, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:34, Reply)

why would you put a banana on a tray?

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:36, Reply)

Because the world's a cruel and fucked up place Winders :(

that's seems cheap...

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:41, Reply)

I thought that.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:41, Reply)

Maybe they're tiny bananas?

( wanderlust, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:42, Reply)

seems terribly wasteful.
Although the new Costa over the way wanted 25p for a single apple. That's a lot for an apple.

I like you a little thick through the middle

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 15:06, Reply)

If you see people buying individual bananas
Just sing th Banana Splits theme tune to them.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:37, Reply)

I'll ask Monty how it goes.

( wanderlust, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:39, Reply)

That's my rent by the way.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:42, Reply)

I'll tell my wife 'do you know we could rent a small pov hole in Milton Keynes for the same money we spend on food?'
Yes. That'll do my argument a lot of good.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 12 Feb 2013, 14:49, Reply)

actually, it's about the same as my mortgage and all.
Well, monthly payments.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Tue 12 Feb 2013, 15:00, Reply)

It's not far off mine
and I think "We could have a 3 bed Georgian flat opposite the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh for what you spend on food" might work better than the Milton Keynes line

Not a bad idea, until you compare to her parents place on Heriot Row.
