    Not too difficult, PaP - just divide the amount you've saved by 25 - £110 divided by 25 = 4.4%

    Work says I've been paid, but wasn't on account - have to check in the morning. :mad:

    Absolutely correct, PaP - if it were £3,700, you just divide by 37 - and so it goes. A pure mathemetician would give you the proper formula, but it works out exactly the same, with less effort.

    My youngest daughter came home this evening, thanks. :T

    Edited - everything sorted for Christmas - thanks PaP.

    Very pleased PaP - The whole family will be around for Christmas - we have shared the cost, so it will work out cheaper for everybody.
    My wife is in Italy for her niece's wedding, but comes back on Christmas Eve - she will be bringing her sister - and lots of Italian goodies. :T :T

    I am starting to look forward to it - was feeling a bit down earlier. :beer:

    I get more pleasure from giving presents than receiving them, PaP - but I do enjoy getting the odd surprise - I have, specifically, told the family not to spend much on any present for me, I would prefer if they just brought a bottle of wine, then we can all enjoy it.
    PaP - I would LOVE to go back to live in Italy - but it's not a serious option at the moment. I will, however, be going accross on business in the New Year, if my current project takes off.
