I'd buy a movie or two, as usual.

I could cook a half-decent albeit simple meal and also rent a cheap video. The people at the liquor store would probably give some some wine or beer on credit for a week.

Hmmmm....I'd usually hang onto it until I got some more money. Then I may splurge and buy a movie or two. I like to always keep at least 200 bucks put back.

I think Its has the best idea...no cooking. So you could watch a movie from the video shelf. The flower would be a cheap posey from a garage forecourt.

And you could sit on a milk crate or telephone wire spool so you don't have to buy a chair.

10$..ooooh..
that would go on petrol ..as i like to roam.
or a packet of ciggies ..9.50$
but hey..my 12 yr old could make 10$ last 2 weeks..
Her allowance is 20$ a week and she shops very cheaply..thats when she does feel like parting with cash.
I turned her mattress on sunday and found all her allowances from weeks gone past ..just lying there.
I asked..but was refused a loan. LOL.

vending machines at school. :)
i recently dug up $20 in change from various nooks and crannies in my messy apartment. with that 20, the only money i had in the world, i bought food that made me 2 weeks of dinners. now this was fairly minimal stuff - so i was able to get beer/wine by calling up friends and saying - 'hey, come over for dinner, i'm having soup' - they would inevitably way 'what can i bring,' and i'd say 'how about some beer?'
so, with 10, i imagine i could eat for 7-10 days.

Depends...is this the only money I have? Do I have a checking account/savings? If I don't have any of the above, I'd probably save it, but if I have money elsewhere and I have $10 in my wallet, I would probably use it on gas.

You ever see "Horrors of the Black Museum"? Michael Gough had some serious ones in that.

Back to the question at hand...
What money?
stubbornforgey

Well ..since we have just purchased a house..I have been put on a money diet.
My credit card was cut in front of me..
I bought a pair of dawn raider shoes and i was marched straight back into the store for a refund..
my clothing allowance has been halved..
my gym classes has been cut down to
3 nights a week..
my personal trainer was sacked..
thats me..
now him..
he's cut down to a 15 box of steinees per week ..instead of the usual 24...no loss
He has a telecom mobile phone so doesnt need top ups.no loss
He doesn't need the gym ..so no loss there..
He wears the same shoes daily..no loss there..
He has more jeans than arnie..no loss there.
He holds the joint account..no loss there.
His internet bill is always paid in advance...no loss here either.
Oh and we are buying our girl a personalised horror doll..so thats awesome ..thanks to Fm.
Heres our priority list..
our girls essentials..
our girls gym classes and trainer..
our girls personalised doll..
our ciggies..
our usual utitilities and food
our petrol
most importantly..his WoW account..!!
something does not seem right out of all this..
