How much money do you take with you to school?

Mine was just a sensor thing (they might have swiped it at the tills but it had a sensor system for the doors to gain access to school). That's why they were annoying though because if you forgot your card you couldn't get into school lol and also the fact that you never need money means that you'll probably forget to bring some to top it up at the machine. I don't think it was until I was in like year 10 or 11 when we got them though so I always had money with me and by sixth form we went out for lunch anyway.


OH YEAH AND I'm sure they used to monitor what people were eating and not allow them to get too much junk food or something. Although the vending machines and pretty much all the junk food was long gone by then (nice one Jamie Oliver ;l). I never did this but some kids used to use their free dinners repeatedly at the different food counters (we had three different bars) so they could get more free stuff but the cards stopped that one because it was all on the screen :P

i spend like 50p a day in the canteen but i just put a few quid on my card every week.

I do agree, I normally take enough to get 2-3 packs of chewing gum + enough for a drink

Lol we have a card, a machine in the diner and in the main reception to put money on, our school photo is linked to the card and is used as verification when using as it pops up on till :P


I usually take £2.50 - £2.30 for cheeseburger & chips & a can of coke, 20p for my wallet :P

I have £3 each day for dinner but if there's usally more in my wallet if I don't spend it from previous days.

Take £10 in on Monday, spend £2 a day and leave change in my bag.

it varies, usually whatever spare change i have in my wallet and sometimes i'll break a fiver, but never more thn £5. if im on a diet or whatever to stop me eating crap i wont bring any in, and just eat whatever sandwich i throw together in the morning.

Fourth nine dollaz

fiver everyday

around five or six pounds
