      That was how I read it, she wasn't moaning really, just stating the facts. I've got quite a few relatively sensible mates who are living off London equity to maintain their previously higher paid lifestyles. A bit daft really but hard to face the facts.

        "As any self-employed worker will tell you, it’s bad form to ring the accounts department and beg for the cheque. We have to appear fun, solvent and constantly in demand. "


        yeah, whatever... When someone doesnt pay me I ring them and then issue them with a rolling fine. That soon shows you can't be taken for a mug.

          My sister in law decided to give up her marketing management job to become a female painter and decorator. She trained and did for a year, taking a huge hit in income, but continued to spend at her previous rate. Forward 18 months £20k in debt and living in our spare room(!)

          Luckily she found sense again after seeing me naked and moved out getting a proper job again.

            That was one hell of a way to bring on an Epihany.

            Did you offer her a 'Gentleman's Double'?

                      "I paid my way, treated friends to films and plays, and often took them out for meals on expenses."

                      WTF? Does she mean she was defrauding her "employers", or the taxman? Either way, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing she should be putting in the newspapers…
