With prices coming down and the threat of yet another big cut in interest rates, inflation really isn't a worry.

LOL well I managed to blow about 7k in holidays this year but its not my usual spendings so I put 2k in for holidays as thats my usual yearly average

actually, scrap that, I put in my weekly food spendings not my monthly spendings DOH!!!! Corrected it and hit 2.9% Bugger. Although thats because I do eat out 5 days a week so realistically thats my own fault

Well it came up as 10.5% for me. Problem is, my pension is index-linked to the September RPI, so only going up by 5.5%

My wife spends all the money so i don't know.

Presume ours will be sky high because we eat food and the figure can't be reduced by Plasmas because we don't buy one a month.

Electricals seem to be the saving grace of the government
