Budgeting has always been "our" weakspot. It was mainly my fault for not being firmer with Karen and not misleading her in to thinking I was earning less than I actually was.
I'd say "I've just won a project worth X" and she'd say "Great, let's spend it on Y". I'd say "Yeah, go on then" hoping something else will come up to pay the tax. That something else always did come up. Until the fateful "year 6" that is.
Karen has felt my pain over the last year or so and she's just as keen to prevent the same thing happening again. To her credit she's been brilliant at helping get us through this. It's amazing how you can get the grocery bill down when you try.
