32 pence
I'm not normally a betting man but seeing as there was £5.27 in my Ladbrokes account I made a couple of quid bet on Holland, my adopted team for the Euro 2008 tournament, beating Russia. They lost.
Then I picked Russia to beat Spain for a few quid. They lost.
Tonight I decided to back Spain vs Germany with the remaining 27 pence left in my betting account and... I won. I fucking won. WOOHOO.
Yes, I won 32 pence!
Now, with my 59 pence pot, I'm going to have to celebrate.
Anyone got any ideas of what drink/drugs I can purchase and enjoy for a whopping 59 pence?!!

Golly. Not very much I'd say. My drug of choice is sugar though, so that should make it slightly more possible. I have no idea of how much stuff costs in the UK though.

I'm not really sure how much 59 pence is...is that like a dollar?
I actually won $200 at the slots the other night...it was a miracle, really, as I NEVER win at slots.

mummy/crit: Sugar! Now maybe a bag o' that stuff would do! It'd have to be brown sugar, I have an aversion to the white stuff. Hey, I know... TEA. That's my addiction, why didn't I think of it earlier?
kat e: Right now 59p is $1.17 so yeah. $200? Go you! :D I'd spend it on a ticket to this year's Guilfest so I can Aussie Pink Floyd, The Damned and Senser :D
rebekah: 59p dear, or $1.17
English tea has gotta be the drug of choice and availability here... talking of which Becks said that she's not had a decent cup of tea in the whole time she's been back in the US... :S

5.9 10p mixtures, or...
Billington's Natural Unrefined Molasses Cane Sugar (500g) from Tesco if you like the hard stuff. You'd have to add and extra 1p though, as it comes in at 60 pence.

I've just noticed that pence rhymes with cents.
