It was a very interesting evening out, and was fortunately paid for out of company funds.

My friend paid for the food, and I said I would take them out the following week in return. I did however think that I should leave a tip, so that was my last \u00a34 gone.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Saturday<\/em><\/strong> was going to be a bit difficult with the remaining 1p, but somehow we managed it. Joined The Beau for some window shopping in town, then we went to see a movie for free with the Vue pass he won last month. We were a bit naughty and brought in our own drinks and snacks. Sorry Vue &#8211; if it makes you feel any better, the film wasn&#8217;t very good.<\/p>\n<p>We decided to have noodles for dinner afterwards. Beau ended up paying, so that&#8217;s another meal I owe someone for next week&#8230; At least I didn&#8217;t order the lobster or any drinks, it could have been so much worse. Then we had free tickets for a comedy show that I&#8217;d been given by SeeFilmFirst, so there was more entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>By <strong><em>Sunday<\/em><\/strong> I was down to my last 1p, so I decided to do some practical stuff around the house and garden, and fix up my business website. There was still plenty of food in the house, so I made us a nice brunch and Beau cooked a Sunday dinner in the evening. Now the garden is pretty much sorted out for the winter, and I have lots of new pots of seeds sprouting away on the kitchen windowsill and in the mini-greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Not the most exciting day, but I kept busy and got plenty of things done before watching some recorded TV shows in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. Not a bad week, but I do owe two people return dinners and drinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Have you been cutting back lately?
