You can tell you're BR when...

the last slice of ham is turning grey/green but you still whack it in a sandwich with enough dressing to disguise any dodgy taste.

A few weeks ago it would have gone in the bin!

You recieve through the post offers to cancel your BR and how sorry they are to hear the news

Would not risk it with meat as it isn't the green garnish that will get you it is the toxins it produces - and they don't get broken down with cooking.

In my case nobody seems to want to give me any work and one agency I spoke to said she could not employ anyone with CCJs or a criminal past - when I explained to her that a CCJ is civil she said it was one step away from criminality! Her loss!

I wonder how much easier it will become once I am full blown Enemy of the State Number One?

Your friends that know talk in hushed whispers about credit cards incase you break down in tears because you have no credit and cant buy that dress - while the one you totally trust who knows how much better off you will be come pay day smiles sweetly and says "next month you will be able to buy 3 if you want"

When you open your wallet and think "£4 left, thats a weeks food if im careful"

When you buy 2 big bags of crisps for £2 and have one bag for tea a night for 2 nights because it feels naughty to eat crisps for tea and damn it you will eat them now that you have bought them on a whim.

When an elderly relative notices your announcement and calls your Nan to tell her you are famous, Nan then rings me and says "never heard her sound so envious, you made the right decision"

lol, sorry, got carried away then

When you go out buy a packet of fags and chainsmoke them and then remember that you gave up because you couldn't afford it as you were broke!

You look in your make up bag and wonder how much a half used lippie would fetch on Ebay - and you first look through your charity bag to see if any of that could be sold - hey charity begins at home.

You look at that old pashmina and think hey I could boil wash it, embroider an initial and then use it as a baby blanket (thank you Vogue for the forty most facetious tips to beat the credit crunch!)

You go into M&S and taunt yourself by looking at the food... the security guard at my local one has taken to following me around - I would take it as a sign of affection if he didn't look so much like my exhusband (brrrrrrr).

Oh yeah, and dating is impossible as you can't bloody afford it!

When you drive to work at exactly 58 MPH as you heard that it is the most economical speed to travel at.

and also you manage to squeeze out all of the fuel in the car and get one last trip to work on vapours alone.

clanbailey

LOL done that with the car every week - in fact when I go to put some petrol in it is usually stuttering and when I take the petrol cap off it has caused a vacumn inside cos running off vapours!

heres another one - when you persuade the other members of the family you really can do hairdressing!!!! and swear its a new cool hair style
