A few weeks ago, actually probably more like 3mths ago one of my friends asked us (me and another friend) if we would be interested in going on a night tour of the Adelaide Goal for her 40th birthday. I asked then if partners could go and she said yes. So I said that Andrew would probably be the first one there as he loves all the proclaimed "haunted" places.

Fast forward to two weeks ago. I ask her again if it is still happening as Andrew is in the bay to birdwood car rally the following day. She says it is and then says "Oh is Andrew coming is he" I said "umm yes I said that when you initially mentioned it" her reply was "Oh it was supposed to be a girls night only, but it doesn't matter"

A couple of days later she proceeds to tell us that to go it will be $75 each, as she is booking through a haunted tour company, and we get to stay at the Goal for 4 hrs. If you book direct with the Adelaide Goal it is only $28 per head and you still get to stay for 2.5hrs. I go home and tell Andrew the costs, hoping he would back out cause he has to be up at 4am the following morning to get organised for the car rally and we would not get home till 1.30am, but he still wants to go even though it will cost us $150 !!!

So this last week I get in our car rego bill which is just shy of $800 for a 12mth period. I don't wish to pay 3mths as it will make it due again 7 days before Christmas. So I have to find and pay $800 right before the 40th birthday, where I will need another $150.

I am now contemplating not going on the tour. I would feel bad if I went alone when Andrew really wants to go too iywkim, and I really don't see how we can both afford to go when I would have just paid a huge rego bill.

What would you do ??
