    B****y money. I'm fed up of reading about it, thinking about it, worrying about it. Money is fine, so long as you have some. Money makes the world go round, the world go round, the world go round.

    Prioritisation. I need some petrol. I need money for train fares. I've got to spend a fortune on postage, stupid idiots. I don't need food. I can survive without eating, after all i've got this far. i don't have enough money for bills, so forget about them. Forget about luxuries like dentist, prescriptions, opticians. These belong to a world. to which i don't aspire to. Cancel dentist on monday. When the toothache gets bad enough, i can go to the dental hospital and have the tooth extracted, for free.

    I was looking at mattresses yesterday. Not because i can buy one, but because they were there. Thats something else that does'nt belong in my world, even though i get chronic backache i rarely complain about. Same as the toothache. I've got enough to complain about, have'nt i. Always B****y complaining. There might be some money due at the end of the month. Where IS all this ********g money?

    Oh ani - I'm sorry I haven't been on for a bit, I've not been ignoring your diary but I've been away. I'm not sure what I can say as I can't make the bills magically go away for you (if only I could) but it's carp to see you struggling so much due to people not paying you promptly for your work. It's not much but here's a :grouphug: for you xx

    Hello Ani,

    {{hugs}} what can I say? Just a big hug. I'm sorry it's so tough.

    I thought... I wish you could go busKing when there's no work, but I guess that's no good while the fiddle's in hoc. I love hearing a good busker (most of the ones we get here are a bit tuneless, poor things) but a really good one is worth hearing.

    Can you give us the address of the non-payers and we'll happily go and duff them up for you? Please? Or I could sing to them, that would have the same effect.

    Busking - what an excellent idea!

    I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.

    Well Lucy is around, in as much as she is logging in but not posting.

    Hope everything is ok with her.
