Or if you want to use your "logic"...

"Darling, I've bought one more house"

"But we're still in the same house!"

"Ah, but if we are still paying for the house, it's a new house..."*

OK, then...

*analogy

Don't be ridiculous. None of your analogies stack up. My logic is simple and totally aligned to the nurses maths..

If you have 5 shirts and a budget to buy 3 more, but one of them is to be retired you will be buying 4 shirts. (EDIT: 4 shirts not 5 - typo)
