I have to say I am really nervous. My wages have still not been raised this year as our union are fighting for a massive pay rise due to the credit crunch etc. I am still on the same wages I was last year and its cutting deep. Everything is going up... like EVERYTHING! PASTA!! Ahhh! I live on pasta cos its like so cheap and the price has went up by like 50%. I know you are like oh wow pasta! But it has and my wages are the same and then during the summer I aint really minded cos i didnt need to have my heating on all the time and it was light enough outside to keep my main lights off so my electricity and heating bills will go through the roof now its winter too.
I really just want my wage rise and I want all this to stop. I started panicking earlier thinking about Christmas and my family etc as I will not be able to do anything. 75% of my wages go on bills and then I am left with the rest for food and petrol etc. Nevermind gifts and special occassions and new outfits for christmas nights out etc.
Wow this post has just majorly depressed me.

Don't be depressed. This is where we need to save money, any that we can to ensure we survive. I'm worried, but also know that this country has got through it before, so will do it again. It'll be tough, but we're a strong nation.
