Holidays - day 5

The nerve of some people!

Just what to these cafe and restaurant owners think they are up to?

What is the point of having tables at a restaurant if you don't want people to come and sit at them? That is the question that Graham Phillips from the Sunday Tasmanian should be asking.

I think that as long as you buy something you are paying rent on the table. That's why I brought a bottle of lemonade for everyone the other day.

My acquaintance, Sparky, has other ideas and will ask for a glass of tap water and then sit down at a cafe table and then pull out a bread roll and half a chicken that he has been hiding in his pockets.

To me, that is just being tight, not frugal.

But back to the last day of our holiday. Due to budget constraints, the kids have been restricted to doing nothing but playing in the park for the entire day. You just can't beat free entertainment. Unless there was an opportunity to send them to work somewhere. By the end of the day the wife, mother and mother-in-law should have cleaned their 100th cabin and this will get me a further 15% discount on our accommodation costs.

Who says you can't have a frugal holiday and enjoy yourself at the same time?
