Isn't money the most depressing thing on the planet? We always want more, we never have enough, it always gets stolen, people get all upset if you earn more than them... the list of problems just goes on and on.

I just sat and worked out a very quick and simple budget for my current income, since Psycho phoned. She's managed to dig herself into a financial hole (again) and needed bailing out (again), which puts me in a difficult situation with the bank (again). We're talking figures written in red, here. Ah, well - it's better that than the alternative. Here in France, if you go over your overdraft limit (which she was about to) and don't dig yourself out in 10 days (or something like that), you get an interdiction banquaire - the bank seals your accounts and you're not allowed to have any bank account for ten years. How much of a nightmare is that?

Looks like I'll be living on small amounts of cash for a while. Two rents, two phone bills and a whole ton of food costs a heck of a lot. This'll last at least 'til she finally gets her butt in gear and starts working. *sigh*
