    Have a lovely day off Pippi - actually that's a thought - why not write a regular "day off" into your work/money/life plan?

    When I eat out I usually pick my main course by what tatties it comes with :D

    Can't stand soggy veg. If it grows above ground it should be crisp, below ground need to be cooked until they are soft.

    I have a day off tomorrow too, spending it with my pal, hat shopping :eek:

    Yay to Chooks paying for themselves :T

    How about a £25 or £50/week fun budget and whatever doesn't get spent gets put in to the emergency fund for trip down south/car repairs/boiler repair type things?

    Wow what a sunset! Absolutely stunning! It was a lovely moonlit night down here though I must say.

    And yes, I definitely support incorporating a regular day off into the the plan!

    Toddling off back to dissertation land now... Hope the planning goes well!
