These guys come and try to convince us all we’re condemned. I’m sure they’re really nice people. This guy was so elated, he started singing. Pretty snazzy.
I spent just over £400 today. I did manage to get a load of stuff, including my wedding outfit (yes, I’m going to look awesome!) so it’s not all bad, but I could do with having spent no pounds.
I threw the filter from the hoover away - my timing couldn’t be better.
I don’t read the news. I don’t know anything about economics and I don’t know anything about US politics. I couldn’t pick out Joe Biden in a line-up and the only thing that frustrates me about the recession is that the media has turned it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Until yesterday, I haven’t really been affected by the current financial crisis. Sure, I noticed the price of stuff going up, but we switched our energy supplier and petrol appears to have lost about 20p a litre so it’s been a relative plateau for me - my funds have just leaned more towards food shopping than energy/fuel. Yesterday, however, it seems that the pending recession (I don’t even know if we’re actually in a recession now - we could be!) took its toll on the awesome agency I work for. It wouldn’t be fair of me to go into details of the whys and wherefores (largely because it’d be mostly speculation), but the upshot is that in a month today, I’ll be jobless.

Who doesn’t worry about money though, right?
I have quite a well-balanced relationship with my car. It’s quite twisted, and there’s lots of adultery involved. I take, and once a week big oil takes a chunk. I take a bit more, then once a month morethan takes a bit more. I take a bit more, then once a year the government takes some tax so that I can use the glorious and well-maintained roads of this great nation. Then it all goes a bit skewif. I continue taking, and someone in blue coveralls, takes my wallet to a private place and makes sweet, sweet, unrequited love to it all night long (I’ve started mixing metaphors and getting myself excited, so it’s time to take a cold shower).
This is normally the bit that costs a small fortune, but this year, my car has been well-behaved! Since January this year, aside from oil and cleaning materials, my car has only cost me approximately £400! That’s a bargain considering the amount of fun it gives me for just over an hour on weekdays. Older cars rock (especially mine!)
I am so broke.
