Sorry but you get what you settle for.
Some weeks I'll post nothing, some days i could have 20 posts; I'd be more than happy for my employer to look at my post history as I arrive earlier than him at 7am every morning and work until my job is finished anytime after 5. A minute or two here or there could be sent cramming myself with crisps, biscuits or cigarettes, but I waste it on here

I do agree that you get what you settle for entirely. Looking in the long term this is a wise career move for myself hence why I'm settling for it. I'm happy to earn a low wage as long as I'm able to sustain a healthy living, but when you can get electrical products for less than a tank of fuel or a basket of shopping it lead me to wonder am I the only one who's really feeling the squeeze with the price hike on the essentials.

Scary link. You can't fix anything by making it dependent.

This makes me sick:

MP in my girlfriends area. She working 7 days a week because she gets stung by mental council tax in that area. Glad to see it's being spent on some nonce of a son; I think he's as guilty and should be prosecuted.
