I get mood swings. Sometimes it's way over and occasionally a bit under.
I have never seen a meter reader since I moved here 18 months ago. When 
I get my bill I phone in the correct readings.
I wonder who wrote the Disneyware that the Utility companies are using 
for software.

When I was made redundant from the Oil Industry I paid off my cards and 
always pay the full amount every month. If I let it slip, I know what 
would happen.
Having said those words of wisdom. I am spending between 400 & 600 GBP 
per week just on flights and hotels. And there is a lot of juggling 
between accounts to keep limits in check.

Now there is a thing. On Thursday, I was offered a job at the Elephant, 
without an interview if I could start on Monday. I had interviewed for a 
similar job in November and did not get it. Nice to be asked but I have 
organise a UAT the week after next.

Another festive theme is funny animals so. Oft we go to Catford.
