£2.36

[LEMtheoriginal]

Left in my purse. Its spare money - what can i buy?

Our soft play is £1 for babies under a year. £1.36 would get Mum a cuppa You are lucky, ours is £3 for under 1 then £6 per child, £4 for the adult and coffee £2.50!

Round here you wouldn’t get a bacon sandwich and coffee in a greasy spoon for op money either

OP the answer is chocolate or a 2 greggs sausage rolls!

I’m just off to Ikea if you want to tag along.

You troll, LEM! I feel I've been duped into giving you my heartfelt advice on how to dispose of your loose change. I insist you buy yourself some sweets as penance.

ot are kids still on half term?

I thought this was going to be a 'I've £2.36 left until payday, any advice on how to make it last for me and my autistic twins after my narc DH threw us out?' bats eyelashes and looks sad, while waiting for a pm asking for paypal address

So, yay!

I would buy some shortbread, make a cup of tea and pout radio 4 on and it would be the highlight of my week

Orchard thanks but nah. However i will happily arrange a search party if you don't report back are still desperately trying to fid an exit...

Gabs - dd's school group all their inset days into a week so they get two weeks off.

You are lucky, ours is £3 for under 1 then £6 per child, £4 for the adult and coffee £2.50!

that’s so crap! That’s over £15 for a parent with two preschoolers for 90 minutes of other people’s kids screaming!

Its Halloween, a big bag of sweets for the trick or treaters when they come this evening.

@LethalWhite that made me snort

That's 2 sausage rolls from the bakery up the road with 38p left over.

If you have a car and are anywhere near Eynsham you could have 47 trips across Swinford Toll Bridge and have a penny change.

Don't forget it also includes paying £15 for the privilege of your own DC screaming for 90 mins, which you can get at home for free.

My corner shop sells 'penny sweets' but they cost 2p, 5p and 10p now. The shopkeeper invents a total adds them up in his head as he's tipping them from your little silver tray into a paper bag.

I'd buy a few tins for my apocalypse stockpile. I'd get two chocolate sponge puddings and a tin of custard for just under £2.36.

I know Istand and I’ve got 3 dc and I need a coffee to survive it so it all adds up. What annoys me the most is paying for my entry, it’s not like I’m using the equipment. We are actually going today for a Halloween party they are doing

Good point tinty

ah lem that makes sense i saw quite a few kids off yesterday and i wondered why

Gabs - half term is this week for our area :)

£25 here for me and my 2 DC to go to soft play!

"am adventure in a busker's hat" is possibly the most romantic (in the true sense of the word) thing I've ever read on MN!

Two sponge puddings and custard though... It's very cold today...

Save it for emergencies if you don't need anything.

That or chips.

I've never met an apocalypse stockpiler IRL, but I always assumed they hoarded huge piles of necessary but dull food (tinned carrots, probably spam, some sort of pre-cooked tinned pasta etc.). It's a revelation to me that chocolate sponge puddings are considered a part of the stockpile list!

Two greggs sausage rolls for £2.36, how much are they?
I come from Pie city, so many shops, have a greggs but don't go in.
Pound bakery do 2 sausage rolls or pasties for £1.
I'm off to get a couple, soon

Romany I think they are 2 for £1.80 or £1.90 in the greggs here. Where does one find a pound bakery? I’m in the south and never seen one. I go to dh family regularly in Wigan and pie shops a plenty but never seen a pound bakery there either I don’t think
