    I read it as crutch. Suity goes through those like no-ones business.

    I see myself as 'buying time' when I'm working. So, for example, a week worked and money earned is like being able to afford a month off work at some point in the contract (at current expense rate). Of course, realistically I have virtually no chance of time off given the growing family... but it's nice to dream and that motivates me to drag myself into the cess pit each day.

    Put all your warchest on black or red at the casino. If your colour comes up, WINNER! You double you money.

    Else, you'll find motivation for seeing the contract out.

    Really?

    I think it sounds like a man content with his lot.

    YMMV.

    January's treat was a year old car, so I dont have that problem. I dont really need a pc either, I have a core i7-870 already. I do fancy a 3 screen setup though.

    On the other hand, sometimes each segment has to be further divided to give me something to look forward to.

    Or chopped off post conception as is usually the case in my experience.

    Is that definite? No chance it could have been an immaculate conception? Or had it by phone like Dean Martin?
