Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I’m no longer boozing three/four times a week or doing any packet. I’m not going out doing massive rounds and buying silly priced cocktails. I’ve cancelled all my trips this year so far. This lockdown saving money lark is a piece of piss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondering if the proof of how better off I'll be in a few months with be enough to persuade me to give it away upon sports return. The fact I'm going to get dudded out of a lot of collects on Liverpool already has me pretty put off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It’s had the opposite effect for me, I’ve spent shed loads. Aside from the £1k I’ve spent on the puppy, I’ve stockpiled weed, bought loads of shite from amazon (new earphones, new fire stick and more) and ordered about £100 quids worth of comics. I’ll be on my arse by the time we’re allowed out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re all stocked up now so you won’t need to spend much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. ’Invested in the Isolation’ sounds far better than ‘I’m a clearing in the woods with money’, so I’m going to start using that phrase! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Like a few others, i'm just not spending anything at the moment. Mind you, boredom hasn't kicked in yet. If it does I may be ordering a musical toilet from Japan. Plus a sex doll* *female Edited March 27, 2020 by Xela 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kurt - if you have the my sky app, open it & you should see a blue notice about covid 19 at the top. Tap on it and it'll say " do you want to leave my sky and continue to sky.com ?" so click on continue and once you see the new page scroll down to where it says manage sky account. The next page should give loads of links, one being "pause my sky sports sub" and off you go. Like me, you'll probably get a "sorry we're experiencing errors and can't continue with your request" which i got a few times but i checked my bank and they took out my subs less the sports package. Hope it works for you ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
