Equally, I'm fond of clothes ... of which AGAIN, I've more than I need - most of them dating back over the 17 years I lived alone - the main reason being, I like to take a pride in my appearance whenever I'm out and about.

Whereas, in the *house, a substantial part of my time is spent on the computer, and *here I tend to don casual togs - lest my dressier attire accidentally gets singed with burning pipe ash.

How are we able to afford such an [apparently] extravagant lifestyle? Simple ... ... we don't have the cripplingly expensive upkeep of a car!
