No money - quick spend what's left of it!!
Sooo with the rapidly snowballing ball of credit crunch crapness starting last year, I begin to suffer...

I still have my (very stable) job. I get free accommodation, bills paid, car (and fuel) and even my food provided.

So, what suffering ask you?...

All the talk of poverty grips me like a smelly unwashed fist. I'm gripped. I CAN'T STOP BUYING THINGS!!!

It's as if, suddenly, the onset of the CC has made me panic that if I don't buy buy buy now I'll never buy again.

And so, over the past few months I've bought - clothes, ah the clothes, and boots and shoes, and EVERYONE got great Christmas presents this year. I bought a new shiny laptop - not because I need it - I'm writing on the one I'm provided with at work! - but because I thought I MIGHT need one in the future. You know, of my own.


And now I find myself in quite a large pile of debt. Which, in its own way, the credit crunch can be blamed for.
(But at least I have lots of shiny toys to play with in my poverty, too)
