    Well today after a great deal of thought I've decided to up my shopping budget! only a tenner extra a week to £50 but it seems very naughty. My reasoning is that I could do it for much less but fruit and veg seem to be going up here and I want to stop myself feeling guilty for going over the odds just buying healthy stuff. Hopefully lots of the time I won't spend that much but at least I won't feel bad while it's more realistic.

    Budgets are meant to be realistic. Of course at work they are a tissue of lies wrapping up fantasy and incompetance, but that doesn't need to be translated to home...

    :rotfl::rotfl:Zed, you sound just a tad cynical about your management accountant AKA the illusionist:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Errr I sort of had a slipped disc a few years ago which still causes problems. I was told at the docs that the numbness should just wear off which it seems to be doing.

    Even if it snows in the summer it will still be fine I will have no students until September:j
