Well, on early showings Labour are set to take 100% of the seats. Admittedly that's based on 1 return, but I think it's indicative.

Actually, if the BBC exit poll is right I should have followed my inclinations and punted on a majority under 80. Christ knows I could do with the money. So broke I'm walking to and from my office every day rather than renewing my travel card, The rest of my life is at similar level.

dude, you should be filthy rich, diong what you do!

[liadnan]

Reports of the wealth of lawyers tend to be somewhat over-rated. Or at least, not to appreciate the difficulties of the first several years. Debts middear, debts.

(Also, so far as barristers are concerned, all those monumental figures you read about tend to actually be gross receipts, not income.)

So if you don't have the money and I don't have the money....who does?
(want to turn to a life of crime? I am sorely tempted looking at my bank balance right now)

The Lizard People have it all.

Walking is good for you

make sure you wear the right shoes, though. *ow.
have spent monday and today hobbling around in the wrong ones, all to save money.

[liadnan]

Aye. I wear me comortable boots. Quite apart from the blister issue, I can't afford to write off my proper shoes tracking through regent's Park, Fitzrovia and Soho twice a day.

The park bit is a lot nicer than the tube though.

I'm there with you, my brother. I had salad dressing for dinner last night.

We're better than this.

And I'm convinced that politics exist purely to affirm on a large scale that humanity really leaves something to be desired.

Am living on pasta...

You know you're in dire straits when you start dreaming of protein ...

Chin up, matey, good times are always just around the corner.

Things would get better. They usually do. Had a few months last year when 'broke' was an understatement....

[greyarea.livejournal.com]

What odds were they offering on a majority of less than 80 then?

[liadnan]

I forget to be honest. Quite good though.

[nicnac.livejournal.com]

That's a point, are you registered for the flat rate VAT scheme?

[liadnan]

No. Haven't looked into it properly, but I have a feeliung it won't be applicable for some reason.

[nicnac.livejournal.com]

Definitely worth looking at if you don't need to reclaim much VAT on purchases - I think it's running at 11.5% this year, so you get to keep the remaining 6%.
