Default Tyre losing it's pressure

Hi all,

About how much pressure should a bike tyre lose when standing for a day or two? The pressures were last done 10 days ago- I had 5 days of riding to work and went for a brief trip around Boxhill with my Bro yesterday. When checking, the front had dropped from 33 to 26 PSI. Granted that it's getting colder and that'll make a difference, but still seems to be a lot. The bike felt fine to steer through last week and only yesterday on the appaling conditions of the zig zag and top of Boxhill did I notice any problems- any pitting in the road seemed to be steering the bike for me...

Another reminder to check my pressures more often (like the off wasn't enough!), and I know it's sposed to be a daily check, but still seems like a large drop.

I guess it's gonna mean new tyre time, but cash being what it is, I simply can't afford to do it at the mo.
