Looks like you were all right

My H has followed me into the land of DFW (not quite enough to appear here) so I didn't need to nag him ;)

He's biking to work more often than me (5 days a week depending on weather and what he has to carry) - saving over £30 in train fares

Bought some stuff in Lidl and asking me to make him a huge vat of chilli so he can have jacket spuds and chilli at work for the next couple of weeks - probably saving him around £30 in bought lunches

Started looking for extra evening contract work (he's a [STRIKE]geek[/STRIKE] I mean programmer, so there's often a fair bit out there)

and finally (and at long last)

He's looking for a new job! He can increase his salary a lot (probably double) if he gets a job in the city (we're only 35miles out) so he's finally keeping an eye out

    Fantastic news. you are obviously a great example! Allow yourself a large pat on the back.
    Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.

    And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.
