What can you get for around 44p nowadays?
A pint of milk?
A cheap Newspaper?
A stamp?
No, Chris has just spent 44p on something for me and will continue to pay 44p a day for the next year on it!
What is it he has bought me, I hear you all ask...?
Well he has just bought me the best pressie ever....
He has paid the field rent for me
44p a day!
The best pressie ever!Thank you! x
bargain!
ReplyDeleteSuch a Hallmark moment. *sniffs*
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabbo prezzie!
ReplyDeleteTrue love!
ReplyDelete£(Welsh)160 per annum? Methinks tis wisely spent!
ReplyDeletePretty reasonable price to provide you with so much amusement.
ReplyDeleteworth every penny, I'd say!
ReplyDelete...because you're worth it!

Isn't it nice when someone gives you exactly what you want. My friend D and his partner P have just decided to give one another a monthly treat by taking it in turns to organise an outing somewhere - an outing which is a complete surprise. I think that is a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant prezzie! and worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteI'll have two! ;)
ReplyDeletesweet! Chris and the field he's renting for YOU!
ReplyDeleteBless his knitted slippers.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Nice to get what means so much to you.
ReplyDeleteIts nice when someone knows us so well, they know what is important to us :O)
ReplyDeleteThat's great value. Gaz and I loved your field. PS you caused a bit of a stink with your comment on my Occupy Sheffield post, but I love a lively debate! xxx
ReplyDeleteGood deal, I expect!
ReplyDeleteI knew he was good for something!
ReplyDeleteBehave yourself! I think I'm just going to go back to knitting and sewing posts! xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust over 3 quid a week?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
That's wonderful John...a great investment in eggs and bacon!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell! You couldn't get a knee-trembler in a dustbin from a ferret for that around these parts.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's an early Valentines pressie, good to hear that true love hasn't died :-) Sue x x x
ReplyDeleteBeat that!
ReplyDeleteAh, Tom Stephenson, trust you to quantify the gift so eloquently!
ReplyDeleteHey John--I'm so sorry if you've already explained this before but for the sake of a puzzled American, how exactly does the allotment system work over there? I'm surprised to hear you rent the field as all this time I thought you owned it.
ReplyDeleteDxox
ps. It's hard to imagine a gift that would mean much more to you. Kudos, Chris!
For 44 pence you could get 34 Indian rupees or 252 Zimbabwean dollars and at Lidl you could get a pound of best British lard - very nice in sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteGood on Chris!!
ReplyDeleteI've a feeling he thinks you're worth it.
megan
I mean it in the nicest way when I tell you that you are a cheap date!
ReplyDeleteA litre of milk here is $2.50 and land taxes are 80 cents a square metre.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you're getting a good deal all round.
well done Chris, he's a keeper for sure,
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
That is excellent! Most definitely a well thought out present!

Um, trying to fit 44p per day into a Canadian head.
ReplyDeleteLet's see: 44p x 365 days/100 = 160.6. So that would be £160.60. Fancy that. I got the same number as Cro did.
So, the next obvious question: what do you actually get for 44p per day?
BTW, thanks for coming to visit this peculiar Bear at his place. Um, that is my place. Always like visitors; they have such interesting tales to tell.
ReplyDeleteChris is a gem!
ReplyDeleteChris certainly picked the perfect present for you John...I agree...he's a keeper!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! Now we can come visit you, knowing there is room in the field for us!!
ReplyDeleteSmooches from pooches,
BabyRD & Hootie
Btw, what has happened to Tom Stephenson's blog?? He has left comments on my blog, but I can't reciprocate. Let me know, okay?!
ReplyDeletexx-c.
£160 for a field? You jammy bastard!
ReplyDeleteYes, eveyone has clicked on windows calculator the find out how much per year and it's cheap, really cheap for a great bit of land. You lucky, lucky sod!

ReplyDeletehe's still alive and moaning

Excellent way to spend 44p/day. My Mars Bar costs more than that...
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like he's well over the little flood in the kitchen incident. A wonderful gift, at any price.
ReplyDeleteDoes milk cost that much? And what newspapers do you read?
ReplyDeleteHa ha - nice to have present you're pleased with.
