Spending money

Wilson has returned to the topic of Winter Holidays, asking whether the Canary Islands are out of the question. 'This time, we might see some canaries!' he added, hopefully.

I told him that what with my recent unexpected expenditure on a clock, we just couldn't afford a holiday right now.

'But there's £200 in the Holiday Fund!' he countered.

'£200?' I queried, 'I paid you £300 for that clock — what's happened to the other £100?'

'Spending money' he replied, nonchalantly. 

Whatever, I was pleased to notice a tourist brochure for Bristol — perhaps the Canaries are just an opening gambit. I wonder whether he'd be satisfied with a day in Seaford…
