How To Spend Wisely

Last night we went for a night on the town and for some dinner. I came back one of the fullest persons on the face of this earth and managed to only spend 3.19 pounds, pretty darn impressive. We went to wing night at the Sports Cafe and the deal was you could buy 20 wings for 2 pounds. That's obviously a large amount of food, so I split 10bbq/10hot wings with one of my roomies and we all split a side order of chips (fries). Yum. And that was where only 2.20 pounds disappeared to yesterday. It was a really fun hang out especially for so cheap. It's started a new tradition for us to go. The most embarrasing thing happened to me though. I was getting up out of the booth to let my friend out and I tripped over the leg of a chair and head planted myself into this guy sitting at a different table. Luckily I didnt fall flat out on the floor because someone I fell into caught me. Basically the whole restaurant was looking at me so I waved, smiled and sat my behind back down. Of course my friends just thought it was the funniest thing on the face of the earth, but man oh man I will try to be more careful next time. haha. So after the Sports Cafe the girls and I went to McDonalds for a Mcflurry. This was of course after half of us had eaten at least 10 wings and a plate of fries. We thought we werent going to get any healthier that night so may as well go all out. The guys stayed to play pool and then we parted. Turns out the Mcflurry was the most delicious part of my meal and I havent had ice cream now for what feels like months! So that is where .99 p of my money went and how youre able to have a great night and only spend 3.19 pds. So we were sitting in Mcdonalds, which by the way was one of the fanciest and nicest Mcdonalds I have ever seen in my life..., well then the boys walk by outside and see us and asked "did you not just eat wings?" so we felt like eating champions. We also decided to have a food crawl some night instead of a bar crawl. Sounds like fun. Hum. Oh ya also on our way home we stopped in a Fish & Chips place and asked them if they would fry a Mars Bars candy bar for us. They said no. But I have a book about Scotland that tells of the top 10 ways to increase your chances of a heart attack in Scotland and it says that if you go into any place and ask them to fry something, even something small like a skittle, they'll do it. I guess we'll just have to keep trying. Any way, Ive got some class to attend today then Im going shopping. Tonight after homework and a good exercise Im going to my friend Rhea's flat to have some of her homemade potatoe soup, which Ive heard is wonderful so Im pumped! Tomorrow Im going on a weekend trip through Monday!!!! Im so stoked and cannot wait!! Im going on a bus with my flatmates to Carbisdale Castle. It's suppose to be haunted and we're going to be spending the night! It's a trip sponsored by the University International Office and we're going for only 85 pds and that includes transportation, meals, entry fees, accomodation, etc. It's an amazing price and an opportunity that I just couldnt pass on. We're going to be taking pictures with Nessie, so hopefully I'll get a good picture of the Lochness monster to show everyone :) The castle is apparently four miles from any surrounding destination, kind of sets the scary/mysterious/haunted mood! We have forest and Castle floodlit walks planned and plenty of picture moments, so Ill have much to talk about when I return. You'll hear from me next either Monday night or sometime on Tuesday. Until then, cheerio!
