Holiday Saving
Claire has decided that we need to save money and reduce the strain on our internal organs. Consequently she has devised a savings plan based on putting money in a tin every time we want to open a bottle of wine, but refrain.
Now, I'm sure feminine logic in this is not lost on you. Every time I do something good, I have to pay into the swear box. This is a penalty for good behaviour; a kind of double or quits brief which will litter our house with pound coins (or empty bottles).
Still, after the Christmas excess there's no harm in a little moderation. And wine mixes so poorly with chocolate. We have to tackle that mountain somehow!
