I'm trying not too but I really wanna spend some more cash.

I'm feeling a little grumpy today and taking delivery of a Strut brace from Bunter yesterday has only made me wanna spend more money.

Any suggestions of things to do to stop me spending my money.

I can't help much, I spent all of yesterday moaning about how I don't have any money - went home, had a quick look on ebay and ended up buying a PS2 game for ?10 that had about a minute left to go lol

I'll have new shiny bits arriving tomorrow as well so hopefully that should amuse me for a few days at least

I know I'm a girl, and I don't spend money doing up my car, although I'm sure soon I'll have to. But I do agree that having no money sucks :(

I have some money... its just supposed to be for the rent and food.
Retail therapy does work quite well.

Jack - Shiny bits are great.. what you getting?

One thing that I do, is keep all my change in a big pot. And when it gets full, take it to one of those money things in Sainsburys! Even if it's only a ?5 it's still something!! I need to do that again soon!

I do the same thing.... and when I'm really grumpy counting my small change out of the big pot makes me happy again... I'm not materialistic honest :cool:

I normally empty my wallet of loose change every week.
Been saving it all up for a while and deposited about ?40.00 the other week.
Plus I've got ?110 from snake sales :-)

You sell snakes?! I want one!

Matt2107
09-08-06, 12:56 PM
Seriously if you want one I'm planning on selling some to a guy in Cheltenham same day as the meet so I'll have some with me.

They are really easy to keep as well.

Yeh its a hatchback. its the one in my avatar pic. i bought some 17" league blackwidow alloys with good tyre for ?120 off a mate.

I also do the money in a pot saving thing. i had one of those cans with a slot in that you cant get the money out of and got fustrated and cut it open. lol anyone no wear you can get them from?

I collect 5p's in an old cider bottle... haven't cashed them in yet but I know there's six quid in there.

Rest of the money goes in a wooden box that i brought in spain.

TRD road front discs and pads from Japan. Dumbass delivery company (Parcel Farce!) tried to deliver them on Tuesday when nobody was here, so left a card. Called them when I got home and arranged for delivery on Thursday when someone will be here all day - depot is in Bristol and I'm b*ggered if I'm going to pick them up. So what do they do? Deliver the parcel today when nobody is home. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :tard:

Also have an Apexi filter on order, again from Japan, but don't think thats due to be delivered for a while. Blitz Nur Spec-R exhaust might well be next, but I've got to spend ?300* to replace the timing belt first :(

*too lazy/fat/useless/all three to do it myself

i was just chatting to a mate about money.

when you work your tits off and have no life because of it, you still dont earn any money cos its just spent on crap, insurance, cloths, cars, tax going to work, rent, petrol, food, going out and so on............ then when you dont work you dont have any money, that doesnt really matter though as you havent worked!

have no idea what the point im trying to make but hay!

mmm if you want to save money do something thats free(exercise(sp) maybe)
