            Thanks ladies, Oxford was marvellous as always but although it did rain there it was quite warm. I noticed how cold it was when we arrived back home so I treated myself to a Chinese hot meal. Only cost £5.50. Now I will be good for the rest of the week and not buy anything else except tea at work.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
