Unexpected expenses
I have just had to shell out for new tires, new break pads, new break discs all because the suspension was shot. That also needed replacing.

What gave you a walletectomy recently ?

it was like the world was ending when it was hitting, what? 80p a litre or something. I actually went "that's cheap" when I saw one at £1.12 :/

It was very touch and go whether most of the guests managed to make it. Fortunately they did, otherwise it would have been a fucking minimalist ceremony.

Doesn't really count
But I found a t-shirt today I'd given up buying a while back cos it was sold out everywhere. That's sixty quid I can't afford gone.

It is ace to be fair. And I have no self control.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 18:16, Reply)

In that no one else will have it, it looks dandy and it will make me look cooler than I do already.
Don't get me wrong it's not worth sixty quid and I don't spend that on t-shirts ever (only once before, normally stick to thirty odd) but I want it well bad.

to different people. I lent my brother close on £200 six months ago, only to realise that he didn't really think he needed to pay it back

I suspect my car
may be (to use technical language) fooked. It's pissing oil everywhere which even I know, in my almost entire ignorance of cars and what makes them work, is Not Good. Right before I go on holiday as well. *weeps*
(berk, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 19:50, Reply)

Not fucked
Leaking sump plug (£4 part, five minutes to fix), or a leaky rocker gasket, which are slightly more expensive but not bank-breakingly so.

If it's leaking from the top of the engine under the bonnet, it's the rocker. From the very bottom underneath, it's the sump plug.

Could be something else, but in my experience it's usually one of these two. Pissing oil generally isn't costly, it's when it starts burning it you want to worry.

Having my hair done
Just got back from the hairdressers. It was *a lot* of money.
I only have it done a couple of times a year and my ex has (finally) given me some money - not much but enough to cover the hair.

1 season ticket at Celtic - £520
2 weeks out of work stunts the cashflow as well. Next up.. a holiday to somewhere warm - hopefully just after the school season..
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 20:00, Reply)

You think that's bad?
We hijack your potential new-goalkeeper signing, David James and then get dicked 3-0 by Millwall.

That's value for money.

Still, my season ticket was only £420
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 20:06, Reply)

Mwahah
Pretty embarrassing considering they were the guys who finished 3rd in League 1 last year and you guys finished in the playoffs :D

Still, James will be good for yous, we're still needing a keeper thanks. Apologies to those who hate footy chat..
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 20:17, Reply)

We've got 9 players out at the moment.
But no complaints after Saturday, Millwall wanted to win the game more than my lot did.

Fingers crossed they'll sort themselves out this evening, against Southend (currently 1-1).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 20:27, Reply)

£420?!
At Fulham they're only £499. Although I get kids ones for £155. Not that I have one this year. Going Bolton on Saturday on a nine quid kids ticket, I refuse to pay adult prices on principle.
