What I can’t figure out is, how comes when I was young and skint I was going out nearly every night, buying records, CDs, tapes and books weekly, smoking like a lab rat, going to football (including away games) and up to see mates in Sheffield and Edinburgh/Glasgow frequently…whereas now, having an OK job and being better off than I was then, that all seems impossible without a bank loan? Has everything got dearer, or have I just got tighter?
Probably a CD or book once a month and drinks a few times a month (on a 'feast or famine' basis these days). Though I need to get a new PC soon, which is a pisser - I'm currently putting it on 'sleep' mode whenever I'm not using it, 'cos I think shutting it down might wind up being the last time. Quite proud I got 11 years out of it, though, which means it only cost me about 8.4p a day.
