If we go out tonight its £20 in taxis, £60 for a meal, £50 on drinks. Total £140 or so.
If we stay in its a great bottle of red and white on special for £15. Our fav takeway £20. And a box set on Netflix on our new smart TV. Total £35.
No contest. Or maybe we are just getting old. |

Well at least one of you is getting old, over 50? Definitely on the way downhill!!  
But seriously, I think a lot of people are thinking the same way, and particularly at this time of year when spending is pretty high anyway.
Enjoy your wine and takeaway!   |

I agree, it costs a hell of a lot for one night out these days!
Its good to do it once every now and then, but its so much easier to stay in and have drinks and a meal. Save money and be cosy lol

When you look outside and see the weather and how dark it is....its just too easy to fire up the log burner and uncork the red.
Completely different on a nice summers evening when heading to the pub is a pleasure....
But winters for staying in and hibernating......Leave it to the young'uns... |

I think you're right. It's much better to stay in and save the money when it's horrible outside. But in the summer it's much nicer out  |

Listen...if the highlight of my life after a hard working week is staying in and watching the telly or a film then hell mend us, it's definitely not for us.
Next thing will be playing scrabble, trivial pursuit or team-knitting. After that ,comes the dribbling at the side of the mouth and incontinence,enough said...lol lol lol
Your only alive once, get out and enjoy yourself.

with the UK government charging 80% duty on a bottle of whisky pub landlords find it difficult to stay afloat, maybe next year if we all think "yes" and vote the same way, there will be change for the better. and change in our pockets when we return from a night out. |

If more of these 'real Scots' we're forever being lied to about actually drank whisky, that MIGHT make a difference. |

Don't bank on it - it's the only way any government makes any money |

As much as I agree with this, I am not prepared to spend 400 a month going out every weekend.
Even if I could afford that, Id soon get bored of it.
Give me good company, a take away, bottle of something.....and my slippers!!!
Im happy |
