Ive spent a fortune chris

Birdseye fish fingers x21 boxes
Birdseye chunky cod in bread crumbs x 18 boxes
Iceland chunky cod fillet x9
Batter mix x12 (now out of date)
Smart price white fish x17

For Christ sake give us some decent weather and fish i have an extra mouth to feed now hence the smart price fish all i want is a cod or 2

On a serious note though i have seen your boat and its awesome mate cant say your not geared up for the season

Has your lass tightened the purse strings...

[oldessox]

Well, I haven't spent much on petrol since December, that's for sure, apart from mooring fees and the service that seems to come round all too quickly , I don't think I spend much on the boat , ( good liar ain't I )
