Not So Savvy After All - Austerity Now Needed!

This week, I took out a £ 200 Social Fund Loan from the Government at 0% over 4 months.

It will help replace debt at 35% which I had accumulated, in part, by buying furniture (a bed mattress) last autumn - thus saving me just over £23 in interest.

However, I have donated most of this - £20 - to INSEAD's Giving Day on 20 March, meaning I will only start next month with £180 instead of £200.  And yet, the years 200-7 and 200-8 (lucky that they both were for me), ought to have forewarned me about giving to charity (when I can't afford it), and getting into debt.

A resolution for the New Year starting 31 March: I must start seriously living within my means.  I now owe the grand sum of £2,387 which 6 months ago I had hoped would be fully paid off by the end of next month (April), However, with Bobby & Zoe's wedding expenses to also factor in (we are staying in a hotel in York in June), the revised calculations now show the total will be paid off by the end of August instead - assuming I can keep up austerity measures until then! 😀

Politicians and businessmen think they have a generation left to "solve" Climate Change, but God promises that "for the sake of the elect", "time will be cut short".  This is not to give up hope - we will all be judged for our actions in these Last Days, and we are admonished to do all in our might not to destroy the Earth. ... Yesterday I went to Durham Cathedral for Evensong by St. Catharine's College Cambridge Girls' Choir.  Before I went, I removed all the contents of my under-stairs cupboard ready to sort out.  When I got home, to my surprise, there was a guide to Durham Cathedral in one of the boxes.   Har...

Prayer and Tablets

I pray to God, and He answers by talking back to me through an inner voice.  I draw great comfort from this, knowing for sure than I am not alone. Tonight, I have taken 2 paracetamol tablets on top of my regular medication.  The front part of my forehead hurts, from temple to temple.  It is a dull kind of ache. The final Laodicean Church puts its faith in doctors and medicine above healing from our Creator, God!
