everything i touched last year seemed to turn to shite
my mortgage - northern rock
my main banking -done with RBS
i took volountary redundancy so i could take a job at a booming company with better pay and prospects, and got made redundant 10 months later ( along with around 500 others )

on the plus side, i am getting in some much needed quality time with the kids, my interview technique is becoming more polished*
and i have a fucking giant box of posters blocking my hallway (£3 from woolies,bought by my eldest child) so i can decorate my house in mario,spongebob,wrestling,emo band and three year old chelsea posters. i am glum but surrounded by colourful tat :) joy!!

*polished: was awful,now just poor.

I'm with Northern Rock too
We took one of their "Together" mortgages - which wsa sold to us as a perfectly legitimate way of first time buyers getting on the housing ladder.

I just hope the recession is over by 2011 as that's when my fixed rate ends!!

I think what you have......
.... is what we call "The Faeces Touch". Similar to "The Midas Touch" but different. Shittier.
