Richard Owiti May be it was just a way of the couple to ensure they are not taken advantage of. I know some lady who kept writing down what each one has taken and would read out the bill to each person. Next time we were sure not to take much around such people.

Richard Owiti Its true that most throw caution to the wind and indulge in overspending during festive season only to realise that January is not a joke. Sometimes little planning ahead is the best way.
