Chip,
You have described me down to a tee . I see the £1600 we have just spent for the whole family (3) on a week in Cyprus in July as a complete waste of money (that could be better spent on the car ), but amazingly the similar costs that four days at the Ring is not even thought about . Sometimes I know I have to do as I am told though, or I will get divorced .

I'm being told we need a pond at huge expense - I have to bite my lip, as I dare not voice my true opinion and comment on what a waste that is, given the white (and gold) elephant that I own that consumes so much of my time and money .

My name is Mike and I'm a Cossie-aholic .
