my new years resolution has been to get up 5mins earlier for work and make some sandwiches rather than spend £5 a day on food/snacks/drink etc.
if you multiply £5 by how many days you work thats a sickening amount of money over the year which is unecessarily spent.
i work 3 days a week so thats £60 a month.
so each month you pretty much gotta work just over 1 whole day to be able to earn then waste the money on feeding yourself on the job.
£60 x 12 months = £720!!!!!! a year.
thats a scary thought.

at least i dont smoke. i bet smokers spend close to £2000+ on fags/lunch at work.

it puts things into perspective. that money could be better spent/more wisely used.

also 1 takeaway a week as a treat,otherwise,yet again it all adds up.

of course during exhausting gigs i'll buy my usual 2x £2 chicken meals in camden coz thats just such great value.

Oh shit, that does NOT sound good. Get well soon!

Thanks, i actually cant wait to be back at work, walking the cold frozen streets!!!

Even if you only have one small packet of fags every few days, it easily comes to over 500 quid a year. I dunno where smokers find all the money, the thought of it is enough to put me off smoking forever even if the cancer didn't already.

Bitchy non-smokers piss me off. You ain't the ones buying and smoking the cigarettes, so less complaints please

I'll keep that in mind next time I'm breathing in a load of recycled tar, or listening to someone going 'arghh, I need a fag!' for the third time in 10 minutes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with bitching about smoking, non-smoker or not. However, nagging isn't really on (though I have been guilty of smug comments at a moaning smoker).

Slightly related, it's like I try not slag off meat-eaters but it winds me up no end when people mock my veganism. Let's leave each other alone, unless you actually want an intelligent discussion (and people, not on here, I don't come on enough...)

Anyway, I had a good new years. Metal Brew Stu got down to his pants in Heavy Load (a 70s rock night) and my buddy fell through the bar ala 'Only fools and horses' and was promptly removed from the club. And I met a french lady, had a mess about, got her number only to find out she is so french that she lives in france. Ahh, well...

NYR's include running three times a week (minimum), only drinking Fridays and Saturdays until my marathon and, one vague one, to be a better teacher (specifically, more organised - but that's still pretty weak).

So yeah, happy new year.

That just made me laugh really fucking hard!

My NYR is to make sure having a girlfriend doesn't make me spend less time with Final Fantasy XIII when it comes out. That's if I still have one when it comes out, of course.

It'll be shit Jon

Yeah I am a bit worried that might be the case. But the trailers look pretty good so far, as least story-wise. And the battle systems back to normal I think too, although I actually really liked the way FFXII worked. Still, I think it might still be possibly amazing.

Cut out all the crap food wise and only eating a small breakfast, small lunch and then a hearty dinner. Coupled with walking to work and getting back into my exercise since my chest infection i've lost 4/5lbs since the New Year.

New Years Eve, lol. Write off.
