I usually take about a fiver - no more than a tenner just in case I ever need anything :)
Erm usually nothing just bus money of £2.40 and I have my credit card if I need to get anything from town on the way home
£3-4, kept safe in case of emergencies.
I normally pick up a hand full of change and my debit card but normally only about £5 in actual coins. :)
dunno, whatever is in my wallet. can be 50p, or 20 something quid as i may have a driving lesson after college.
nothing. at my school we have a cashless catering system because it's meant to be quicker, so other than when i need to put more money onto my account there's no need as everything has to be bought through that. if i go out after i always come home first anyway so just get some money then
My school got that a couple of years before I left. Preferred just using money by far :PQuote:

I take enough for the bus. If you take more then you need you get douchebags asking to "borrow" money which they "will pay back".
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.Quote:

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 drinkQuote:

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
When I was at school I took like £3 just for tuck (usually a sandwich & a drink) and I didn't really have dinner at school, with left over change I'd get a drink from the shop after school for when I walked home. Thirsty business.
usually nothing, i take my own food usually but sometimes i take money for a drick etc
I take like £2 because I don't really need money for anything.
Probably money for the bus and sometimes if I want a drink or something to eat.
I take around £5 but only use around £2/£3 at the most.
i used to take 10 pound for the week loll
Around 7 pounds worth, I never spend it all, so I use it for the day after.
I never take money to college. I tend to go home for my lunch because it's like 10 minutes down the road.
If I ever do take any money it'll only be about £3.
when i was at school i dont think i took money cus i took my own food. then in year 11 we were allowed to go to the bakery so id take like 2 quid a day and keep the change
then at college i'd go in with 25quid on the monday, get my bus pass, spend the rest on food and keep whatever was left
None, I don't see the point in taking money to school :S
i normally take 5-10quid incase i want to go into town after, i dont normally spend much of it so i just keep it for the next day
I do the same. Also depends what I'm doing for lunch. I usually go subway or something, which alone is £5+ and then drinks during college (Even though we're in an IT room hehe).Quote:
