Shopping for summer fruits to plant in the garden. I think I've blown my budget.

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Wow! Good thing you noticed.
    Got to admit in my tine I accidentally keyed £2,000 for a £20 item and delivered a banana split with no banana. I thought I had to put a lot of cream on that one  :)

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
