To think he's being a bit tight?

[SydneyLa]

£1 is all it would cost to buy a bag of food for the emanuels and my boyfriend reckons I shouldn't buy it if I'm complaining that I'm short of money.

AIBU to think £1 is well worth keeping them going through the winter?

For the what?

?

Personally I keep all my Emanuels tied up in the shed & just let them out for a Christmas dinner of left over sprouts.
YABU.

Ummmm.... I'm sure I haven't been drinking/taking substances, but I have NO idea what you are talking about.

This isn't like a sneaky advert for something is it?

Who are the emanuels and should I be feeding them too?

I was thinking 'has autocorrect changed the word homeless' ?

embarrassed

are the emanuels going to be a poor starving family somewhere and your going to give us a link telling us to donate?

YABU. Aldi do perfectly good emanuel food for only 50p a bag.

Does someone need to google emanuels to find out what they actually are? Or will the OP let us in on the secret?

Is an emanuel a bit like a camel?

wtf? the birds.

Googled it still no idea?!

I don't think one will do it, not for all those emanuels for the whole winter. BTW, I have found it's much more economical to give to the plain old manuels, they are much more frugal without the e.

Oh birds!

YANBU.

PMSL over the Emmanuels but YANBU to feed the birds.

From now on the birds in our garden will definately be called the Emmanuels

Awww, god bless the emanuels. They're supposed to be inheriting the earth, aren't they?

In my book there is only one Emanuel.

Even poor people should be allowed a few pleasures, I have a feeling it's more than just cost of birdfeed that has got OP into money trouble & is grating on the boyfriend's nerves, though.

Anyone else singing "feed the birds - tuppence a bag"?

Sorry, this is making me weep with laughter.

ha ha! The birds.
You could feed them "for free" if you have left over bacon rind, nuts etc...

But £1 will not break the bank.

releases emmanuels from the shed & sets them free for Christmas

I can't stop. How did it turn into emanuels?? I need to know!

I'm not having money problems as such, it's just the general Christmas thing making me a bit skint but I can still afford a bag of Emmanuel bird food!

There is one I'm particularly fond of, a tobin which sits on my shed. I love it

emus and owls?
