» Lies Your Parents Told You

Also...
whenever my mother would go out for the evening, i would pester my dad with 'where's my mam, what time is she coming back' - he would alsways tell me that she had 'ran off with a big black man and isnt coming back' - i used to cry myself to sleep everytime! And of course she'd be there the next morning..hungover and smelling of gin usualy~!

however, the ironic thing is as i grew up, i realised i was gay and had a thing for 'big black men' - wonder if i do it just to spite them (my parents) a little bit....lol

Animal accessories
When i was little we had a doberman who was er, to put it polietly, rather well-endowed. Whenever Zak (for 'twas his name) would get aroused - ie get a stiffy - I would ask my mother what it was - 'his lipstick' was her rather succint reply. Likewise, whenever the daft beast would attempt to lick it, my parents would tell me he was 'puttin his lipstick on'. I always remember telling the rest of my class (infant school) that two dogs shaggin in the playground were 'sharing his lipstick' - the shame, oh, the shame...

» The Credit Crunch

Credit Brunch?
Well, as a debt adviser my appointments diary is running at about 5 weeks whereas this time last year it was running at about 2. What's more, the people I'm seeing this year seem to have more and more complex issues, charging orders, repossession etc so i've never felt so busy. That said, funding for my job was due to end next year but given the current climate im pretty sure the project will be around for several years yet - I cant imagine any government would want to announce cutting a few million for debt caseworkers after just having given the banks billions when they're (for the most part) responsible for the mess we're all in.

On the plus side, i did bag some bargains from Woolies (a hdmi cable for £4!) and have just bought 7 dvds and a blueray from zavvi for less than £40. And I've just been promised a payrise at work that will be backdated to last April, not that i'll be able to spend any of it as my fixed rate mortgage ends in May and i'll be at the mercy of variable rates until i can be remortgage.

So, all in all a mixed bag. Such is life.

By the way, i hope everyone realises that things are going to get MUCH worse over the next year and that the bankruptcy and repossession figures are going to be ridiculously high, the highest ever i'd bet..something i think our politicians and local authorities seem to be underestimating at the minute. Or just dont want to admit.
