I have a ridiculous skincare habit because I’m so allergic. It only takes one product containing the wrong ingredients and I come out in blotches. Sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas, my beloved rose Face Oil (£68 for 30ml) by organic skincare brand ILA, contains rose damascene, which costs £8,000 a litre wholesale. I’ve tried cheaper brands and burned my face. Not a good look.
In my 40s, I never really thought about the ageing process, but now it’s scary. My eyesight (minus 12) is so bad, they can’t make contact lenses any stronger.
I’m too short-sighted for laser surgery and Lasik (where they replace the lens in your eye) sounds promising, but we’re talking £1,095 an eye.

would have thought they could find someone more sympathetic. There must be loads of families on £40k struggling through no real fault of their own (overstretched, unexpected bill etc).Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

bit confused as to what this is all about..
seems to be
I used to earn £x per year and spent it and saved nothing and effectively my outgoings equalled my incomings
I now earn £1/2x per year and therefore my outgoings > incomings and I am getting into debt.
So what it is not rocket science to understand whyComment
