Is That What They Call Divine Intervention?
I spent a couple of days earlier this week thinking the whole world was against me. I don't know why, but I just lost my self confidence and turned really brittle, which is unlike me, though I am not as confident as some people may think. My business is really struggling at the moment, to the point where I am considering part time employment to boost my reduced income.

Hats Off To The Tax Office
I have had a right laugh with the tax office in the last year, they just can't seem to get anything right. The thing about them is that they have obviously had a lot of training because whenever I talk to them they are exceptionally polite and really seem to be trying to help.

Thankfully a temporary additional facility will provide £1 million to support the costs of the Diamond Jubilee next year which is obviously critical to any economy.In a further setback to the Royals, a 50k Christmas party has been shelved as the monarchy tackles the recession head on. Other draconian measures include a pay freeze on staff ...
