Recession busting

Right, so haven't done any more planning so far...still trying to save and save and save and get all that boring stuff out of the way....then we can go spend, spend, spend and get busy.
We're a bit nervous of handing any money over at the moment seeing as the whole world is in a dodgy situation a la money and companies are going bust left right and centre! Plus, everyone is dropping their prices on EVERYTHING so there's no point paying more before we need to!
