Ha! Cheese? I can just about bear the girt big blocks of davidstow or whatever it's called in Costco, but the rest of the time I feed the Dc's that cracker barrel rubbish. I buy the whole Brie from Costco as well, but otherwise we only buy cheese at Christmas, it's so expensive! 
I've lost track of what our weekly shop has been costing though, as have been eeking everything out!
On that note, dh started his new job last Monday, and so (once he gets paid lol) we will be on an even keel chez mad. And he is much happier already. I need to call the bank and postpone the mortgage payment until Friday lol, but I'm pretty certain it won't be an issue.
H & R Block weirdly seem to have come up with the (tax) goods, which I wasn't expecting. I'm due a rebate (which I knew, because I was paying tax for the first four months and then left, and haven't worked since) of a few hundred, but dh's rebate is into the thousands... Had to be paper filed, so it will be 6-8 weeks, but will definitely get us sorted if it comes through!
I ordered some cath kidston (I know I know) personalised mugs for ex pat godchildren for last christmas and got totally stung with with the whole UPS daylight robbery thang. This year I shall get them sent to mil's and get her to bring them out... Although we may have topped out on the cath kidston gift requirements. 
Ah. Spring is here. I sat on the deck yesterday for twenty minutes and caught the sun around my neckline. It reminded me that this year I might not want to wear a t shirt until July and then think it would be ok to try a vest top... The shorts and flip flops are out in force here already. Ya gotta love a mountain town.
