Well, July has sped past hasn't it? And has my life magically got better? No!

Part 8-has everyone gone raving mad?

OK,so we have seen this house we really like,and we think we want to buy it. 'Don't worry about the price' says estate agent woman'just put in an offer for what you think it's worth' So I did. 'But you aren't in a position to go forward' she says,'because you havent sold yours,so now he will look for other offers better than yours' SO,what happens if he gets a better offer?

Thanks for the helpful comments. I have tried to claim all the benefits,but as I said before ,apparently I earn such a high salary that we aren't entitled to anything. I'd love to know where this high salary is going,but its not into my bank account thats for sure!

Anyway,Social Services have been to see us,to see if they can make any adaptations to our house to make life easier for us. The thing is,I cant get husband into the bath as he would never get out again,so he has to sit on a bath board while i literally hose him down. Anyway the SS recommend that we have the bathroom changed to a wet room,because then he can shower properly. Great!

Anyway,so I've got indoors and turned the lights on(£60 a month),checked the answerphone(another£60) and flicked the telly on (£12).Nothing on the TV,glance at the radio times(£4),nothing worth watching all evening. Turn the computer on. E-mails for viagra and loans.Look in the fridge for something to eat. Not much there. Bread£1.50 for a loaf.£1.50! I feel like an old person when I go shopping. I really can remember when £1.50 was a lot of money and you could feed a family of 10 for a week! (slight exagerration but you know what I mean)

I do wish the media would shut up about the credit crunch . We all know its happening,we can all feel the effects,but do we need to be reminded of it every five minutes?
