How are you dealing with the soaring prices on petrol ,food etc.House prices dropping at record percentages.I noticed it at the petrol pump cost
me £20.00 to get down to dorset at normal vroom vroom speed,on the way home in steady traffic cost me £12.00 theres one answer,misses says
everything gone up down the supermarket washing powders £3.00 more exspensive,easy just wear your clothes for 2 days ,instead of 1 ,i can get 5 days out of a one pair of boxer shorts,and as for me dog and cat let them eat scraps instead of this iams superman food,and walk to the shops
i think i have just saved approx £80.00 a month which means more beer

Sell the Kids or rent them to Chimney Sweeps. Extra income plus a cut in food bills.
Eat pets. Double saving there, food bill drops and no Pet Food to buy.
Mug old ladies so as to make your income go further. After all they've lived their lives and it only gets to Hyperthermic Weather in Winter.
See all very R.C. utilizing everything available.

Interesting times chaps, things have got worse since the last post on this subject, food items are now being stolen as they become high value and fuel is through the roof with record prices on crude, add this to fall of the 2 major US lenders and the time seems ripe for an overthrow of the government and anarchy in the UK Laughing

Seriously I think this may be a time of great opportunity and hopefully a time when the ordinary man ( ie us ) says enough is enough, society needs restructuring with emphasis given to the law abiding tax payer not the yobs, chavs, spongers ruling the streets today.
If as labour claimed all those years ago, the torys sold the family silver, then they actually did sell the gold.
What sort of financial idiot announces that they're going to sell lots of gold on a certain day, then is surprised when the market crashes on that day Evil or Very Mad

Sorry I'm digressing, rant over till next time Wink

Whoah guys we are so not there yet! The economical growth has slowed down and not recession yet by a long way!

House prices are affected by the restricted lending of the banks - less to lend you place it carefully and that tends not to be the 100% first timers.

The current trend of living on credit is causing a limit on disposable income - more being repaid....

Oil prices are at the root too - they affect the prices of everything that needs packaging and transporting....food/drink/anything.....

they have likened it to the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse each in singularity is dealable with = altogether a serious matter.

Off to count chickens Rolling Eyes
