I would rather not think about it.......18 years playing.....even in the last 9 years I have probably spent more on petrol than some of you lot have spent on your kit...OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I hadn't just sat and tried to work this out :)

Once I add in fuel, hotels, playing, and paint...

In the last 3 year I've spent about £12,000 not even including my kit.

Don't tell the wife though... ;)

Meant to be saving for uni at the moment...but instead I took cash out of my savings for Lincoln this sunday :(

I earn £30 a week (thats working 8hrs on saturday not working all week ;)) working on a farm- hard work!
I spend about £90 a month on the Masters, don't have any money for anything else, last time I bought a CD was last year

just spent a while adding it up, I don't really want to think about it...
a few thou, probably over £5000 in the 4 yrs I've been playing, maybe more

but then I think about what else I could have done with the money...nothing as fun ;)
it makes me who i am, I enjoy it, all my best mates are players

the major thought on my mind is that I wished I had a full time job so I could play more ;)


...as it is tho I am virtually out of money so look for me either marshalling or pod filling at the Masters next month...
...you know it gets bad when you look around your room & you've thought about how much most of your stuff would go for on ebay...

Whats that? you can survive on only one kidney?
wahey I'm in luck I've got two anyone want to buy one? :D

so its hard at the moment, kinda sore subject ;)

Dont want to even think about amounts, but played over 20days of tourny ball last year, aswell as training through the week and weekends etc

As for kit, loads gear but you get what you give :)
