You don't like it? I loved that game

PostRe: The 2012 list of Thrifty People by **Seven** » Thu Dec 20, 2012 1:25 pm

Right guys, I'll be updating this in few days (23rd or 24th).

I think it's safe to say there might not be 2013 thread of this. The interest has faded, really. About half of people here didn't update their information, as well. Of course if anyone wants one, there'll be one - just it'll be better if someone takes over since I'll be working on my flat in Jan.

Should be my final purchase of the year. £30.99 for 4200 MS Points.

Also bought Forza Horizon & 2100 MS Points from Grainger Games but traded stuff in to cover that expense exactly.

All in, not a bad year. Ok, I didn't stay within budget, but I've done better than in previous years by miles. Amazing how your priorities change when you have a baby to take care of.

Eek, nearly £2300 spent this year. Of course, it's not bad as 2010 spendage but still... :shifty:

I will do last update next week, so everyone can have more time to finally update their information if desired.

I'm going to try and do a massive update for mine at some point, probably won't get time till the weekend though.
