Frightened about my future

Tea coming up.....

Its comments like that from people who judge without really knowing the facts that really upset and annoy me.!! Me and OH have worked all our lives, never been unemployed or had benefits of any kind, and then through ill health on my part, and having to take a lower paid job, was the start of all our debt problems.....But, whatever reasons you were to give, folks like that would always have an answer......all I can say is hindsight is a wonderful thing.!!! See now I'm getting fired up again.....

Tea, calm , calm, calm.

I dont want to do finance. I think i will leave that for NID and George as you have to be assertive to deal with that sort of stuff.

I think Jinny would be good too. Look at the fab things she has been saying to the dreadful people ringing her up at home.

Pixiechick well done, you could make education meaningful and make sure everyone learns how to be financially secure.

Elsie you can be the Minister for Fairer Supermarkets and can be in charge of making sure the supermarkets sell nice, cheerful things and they could have more whoopsies.

Oh yes, that would be good. I would pick all the expensive lovely things, that we can't normally afford, and stick whoopsie labels on them all, and make sure there were always plenty to go around.

Nothing like a good cup of tea. We must not let peculiar people upset us. That is how they cope. We cope by being nice. I know which i prefer.

Elsie you are now the Minister for Tea!!!! Talking of which i am going to have a cup.

You are so right, Elsie.

I did read them - felt compelled to, really! And then it really made me feel guilty and like a second-class person.

I just wonder if that is the sort of thing we should expect if we get a Tory Government.

Let's just hope that they never need to rely on the state for anything!
