3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I was somewhat distressed yesterday to learn how much Missus had spent on Daughter's Christmas present - an OBSCENE amount, made extra-galling by the unappreciative and undeserving narcissistic nature of the recipient. It came out of Missus' solo budget, already allocated, but I nevertheless expressed my disappointment over money that could have been spent much better.

I am responsible for the equivalent spending out of the family budget on family items, but on stuff that is morale-raising and/or practical and spread over ALL THREE of the core family. Missus got a new coat and will get a new fun T-Shirt.

I got a tray-cooler for the laptop (a sound investment that will extend its life by two years at least) and also a fun T-shirt. For my birthday a relatively inexpensive HDTV receiver for the upstairs TV, and for the family, an inexpensive NowTV box and a month of Sky TV non-premium channels. We have still to organize a small gift for Son. 

Unfortunately Autumn income will not cover the expenditure so costs will be bourne by the debt mountain, but I have no regrets as all purchases are life-enhancing one-offs. Belts will be pulled tighter hereafter! However, with a wealth of quality indoor entertainment for all, and Son now Student Loan-funded, there should be no need for excessive expense into the future.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are your investments enhancing your life into the future?

6. TODAY'S ONELINER

7. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!

8. TRIVIA
The second-most dangerous shark in the world, the tiger shark, is sometimes called the “garbage can of the sea” because it will eat anything, including animal carcasses, tin cans, car tyres, and other rubbish.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Encouragement means to plant the seed of courage in the lives of others. It is an act of regeneration.
