    Whatever you do, never mention cheese.

    got paid yesyerday, and was down more than I expected. 5% it worked out. Add to that increased fuel and interest rates and you may as well double it.

    But I consider myself fortunate that I do have a reasonably good job, and will still be able to enjoy the luxury and pleasure that E-I offers, all be it less frequently. Will just have to tighten my belt

    I feel for those who were already struggling to pay their bills. I don't think it will just be the unemployed that will want to emigrate, i'm sure those working their asses off and struggling may think about it too.
    Thank you all the ladies I had pleasure of meeting. Forever grateful for the memories

    don't forget everyone - life is what you make it - money isn't everything things are hard at the moment but can only get better!

    Always look on the bright side of life
