[ Bloody Budgets ]
You all know what it's like
- you start off a new year with grand visions of vast wealth (yea, even
miniature fortunes) that will be created by a startlingly simple budget
that you put together with your significant other. All it's going to take
is so much here and so much there and limiting yourself with this particular
item and not spending so much on another. You've itemised down to the minute
every single expense that you could possibly make during a pay month. You've
dedicated yourself to a certain (and, no doubt, a rather terrific) amount
that'll go into a special account where, glory of glories, the cash will
build up in exponential fashion until all those things that you desperately
crave will be a mere fingertip away!!!!!!!!
You all know what it's like
- (for example) : a funny clunky sound appears in the engine area of your
car (so another bloody service is required); on the wettest day in months
with 3 zillion different pieces of clothing, etc on the line you start
up the ancient dryer and it smells of burnt rubber (so down to David Jones
for a new one); your favourite little doggy doesn't greet you in the wee
small hours of the morning as she's cringing in her bed because somehow
she's managed to strain her right back leg muscle (so down to the vet for
whatever vets do)......
You all know what it's like
- It goes on like this for ages and then you say, stuff that bloody budget,
I need cheering up and you buy something that you really can't afford (because
the budget says you can't) and afterwards you feel a bit un-thrifty but
overall you're supremely happy.........
