I'm gonna start my "Spend nowt today" campaign, should go down a bundle in Yorkshire. I haven't picked a date yet.

Yep.....Yorkshire folk like to 'keep brass in pocket'

I lived in North Yorkshire for a while. People didn't tend to like or trust foreigners*

Reminds me of Hale and Pace Yorkshire Airways. ;)

Nowt wrong with a bit of thrift. Spend your brass on proper bargains, like the fruit and veg man or the butchers at the indoor market.
Bus into town, free. Three carrier bags of fruit, veg and meat, say £15. Bus home, free. Aye, lovely.  ;D

Carrier bags are free in Barnsley market. You know the ones...so thin that everyone can see what you've bought, and give up as soon as you get ten yards away.  ;D

Well, after all I said SWMBO has been on about us getting a smart TV. At present we only have stupid TVs.

Tesco 49" smart TV with all all sorts of crap that I probably won't use, £269. Unable to find exact specs on internet, but box says 4k Ultra HD blah blah blah, and I do like the way Toshiba TVs work, so done. I asked about scart and was told that almost everything these days is HDMI, so there goes my VHS player !

So probably a Hisense TV then (Toshiba don't make TVs, they just license the brand to others)

They usually have 1 scart socket as they are targeted at the low markets

Went to Poundland today, disappointed to find no Black Friday deals :(
I like red cars

I looked online..Amazon, Currys, Argos, etc., desperately looking for something I might need. Epic fail.

Having said that, we're off into town tomorrow to get our Christmas cards. The wife just might turn that into a very black Saturday  :(

And the slippers I got last Christmas, although still serviceable, are getting quite smelly. So I might lash out £7 or so on a new pair.  ;D

Some shops offer 25% off for students. Worth a try. :)

A quarter off £7 is £1.75. Better than a knee to the groin........unless you like that kind of thing. :)
