Heh. Well my mum has been living off loans for years... no, decades... I 
don't really understand why, but the women *never* has any money, and is 
constantly having to borrow it from people so she can pay basic bills.

Oh well, never mind. Apparently due to the credit crunch, she's likely 
to be employed by the end of the year. No sane employer is going to hire 
somebody who's a few years away from retirement age, so presumably I 
will shortly be homeless. But let's not think about that too much, eh?
