that'd enough for a family holiday, a major repair around the house, a much needed new appliance...

you know its funny you mention that, its was only the other day i thought of doing that, more so for fitness than saving money but a good idea none the less. Maybe not in winter though :D

I am missing something?
Is this some kind of 'in' conversation, quips about some past threads?
If not, what is the relevance of this tragic misunderstanding of the relationship between Toilet Duck, ar*es ,arthritic onset and scaling toilets?
The point is on how to conserve funds, how to live well cheaply, how to recognize wasted resources.

its just dobbo's attempts to wind me up, its what he does, i ignore it, but im glad it doesnt go un-noticed.

Pushy is a fantastic idea!
You will toughen up before winter, you'll enjoy it!

Have you ever been to lithgow in winter :D

But i reckon i might give it a go, might need to work on the fitness a bit first, some of these hills arent to pushy friendly. :D

Oh, I see.


I saw something on the price of feed going up by a huge percentage.

We eat tofu once a week too, that's pretty cheap and excellent if you know some good recipes!

awe come on, get those pedals turnin and you soon warm up :)

I did it for 4-5 years in Melbourne, sub-zero on occasion through winter, usually below 10 in the early morning... just make it safe, good lights, high-vis clothing...

I might have to start soon whilst its still warm so i can ease in to the winter chill, i guess it saves me spending 15 minutes every morning in winter defrosting the windscreen. :D

Can you get snow chains for push bikes. :D Its probably not that bad.

If funds are that tight what are you doing wasting valuable money and you monthly DL excess here?

The truth is, if you can afford a Land Rover, whether it be a S1 or an RRS, you are not doing it too tough. If you have the internet you are not doing it too tough.

F*** from the size of the queue outside Starbucks in Sydney CBD today, the average Aussie is not doing it as tough as they like to make out.

And for the record I don't have diff locks and like to eat either red or white meat, fish and vege's nightly.

Having done it I advise against it, it's totally different going for a ride because you can and going for a ride to make a train (in your case school bell).

In other words ride because you want to not because you have to.
