    Yep. My holidays for this year were a weekend in Manchester and a week in and around London.

    I normally don’t go on any holidays at all, and we weren’t exactly living it up at the premier inn, my bank account is looking shit because I went a few hundred miles away for a week and a half. And I should be greatful for that, I know that there are so many people that have no holidays at all and still have to live paycheck to paycheck.

    I joined the work force just before 2009 and we’re back in the economic shit again already. I thought we were supposed to have some times of prosperity in between the recessions!

    I feel like I’ve done everything right. I went to college, did an apprenticeship, have never been in trouble with the law and have never been out of work since the age of 16 (I’m 36 now). I feel like my spending power reflects the effort I’ve shown poorly.
