Happy Hols!

Yes, I'm de-mob happy as I finish today for two weeks.

But before I go, what about this latest brainwave of charging people £185 to park at work...is it a way of encouraging more people to work from home? If so, is money the only way to change our behaviour? Surely not.

Tony and I have made a drastic change in our shopping habits lately. The reason is because our usual supermarket has stopped stocking what we like, to the point where we stood in an aisle the other week and were stumped as to what to buy. So, we have been shopping locally for more fresh food and stocking up on the non perishables at Makro. Despite our initial fear of having to spend more time going from shop to shop we've actually discovered that Saturdays are now for visiting family and enjoying ourselves rather than fighting our way past prams and other peoples' trolleys to gather our weekly stocks.

So, our habits have drastically changed, which was originally nothing to do with price, and the impact has been more on our lifestyle with our coffers coming in second.

Also, I'll be kicking back for my holiday, safe in the knowledge that I've got enough toilet rolls to last me 'til Christmas!
