How much???

Me too, and I never envy whatever others have.

 

Well reading some of these posts I must up my budget

I can understand were your coming from and all true with what you have said, and yes your guessed right "honestly".

But being brought up from a early age and not encouraged to say how much something cost with others is " Crass" if asked how much or me telling the other person "bragging" or asking directly myself.

I gave the same sort of answer last year on one of the "bird feeding threads" I know quite a lot of people that struggle to pay bills etc for what ever reason and you have me spending ££ on feeding the birds, gardening, hobbies etc ... I just find it easier not to say how much , as the reaction I have had on many occasions "you spent how much" .
Gardeners on here will totally understand our/mine OCD at times and that "must have plant or machinery " we have been after for ages.

Dont take this the wrong way it was never my intention to come over that way just wanted to explain a little, not that I have to but I wanted to if you get me

I like the comparison , I may say how much now

 

Don't mention the "Must have plants" they cost me a fortune!!!

I worked with a guy who gave his wife a weekly gardening allowance of 50p

 

Yes but how many begonia seeds will that get you

 

I think ive only spent £70 for this yrs growing on seed and compost up to now that is! but i would rather spend it the garden dept than living room because i know which gives me more pleasure to sit in

 

Look Mowgley and fat controller would you please stop it. I have just sprayed my whisky coffee all over the computer laughing at your posts, I've made some mess and expecting the computer to go up in a puff of smoke any minute.

 

See me after class

I can tell you the name of that syndrome: its "couldn't afford not to have it" syndrome
