My new baby  What a cutie!

Tuesday 5th August, 2008 - £8,228.83 in debt…

Another week, another bit of pay trickling into my bank account, another £150 onto my Barclaycard… but I’m starting to flag a bit.

I think all this work is starting to catch up with me. Nine to five, plus evenings, weekends, working through my lunchbreak, and all for what? Money I can’t even spend! Money that goes straight to the bloody Barclaycard headquarters where, no doubt, it gets spent on all the things I want for myself - a holiday, tickets to Wimbledon 2009 (£102 for the men’s final!), a Peugeot 207 CC, a kitten, you name it. I bet Barclaycard headquarters is over-run with kittens. GRRRRR. 

I’m working all the hours I can, not seeing any money for myself at the end of it, and fantasising about being punched unconscious just to get some sleep. This must be what it’s like having children.
