    Thanks again to all of you for your kind words - just back from a lovely family meal - (and a wee cheeky white wine too!). Managed to let the children have desserts without having to think omg - that's an extra £6!! Nonetheless - frivolous spending has gone forever.

    Congratulations on all your hard work now bearing fruit.
    Now go and put yourself on the Roll of Honour (and if that smile of yours gets any wider it will meet round the back of your face!)
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
