Happy new year to you all.
It's been a while since I last posted, the problem with writing this blog is that it keeps me away from achieving my lifelong commitment. Shredding banknotes.
Christmas went well for me, really well. I spent more money this year than I ever have at Christmas before. I bought hugely expensive gifts for people that don't need them and I bought presents for people who don't even exist. Internet shopping has been a revelation since they brought in 1-click shopping. I got cramp in my finger whilst hammering away in front of the screen. Not the first time I've had cramp in that situation but certainly the first time it was in my finger.
The positive gains of the festive period are easy to see. The wall of cash money that used to separate my pinball room from the my 3rd kitchen has now been depleted so much that if you stand on tip toes and look out of the south window at 6am on a Monday morning, you can see the thick green smoke rising from the chimney stack over the courtyard, clearly signalling the weekly incineration of US dollars I buy from that idiot Martin Lewis' website Moneysavingexpert.com. However of course, I buy from the bureau at the bottom of the value list. At least that poisonous website is good for something.
I've had a tremendous response from you wonderful people since the first post and if you have any great cash burning tips, please send them in and the good ones will get a mention.
Excuse me but now I'm off to itunes to buy 10,000 copies of Justin Bieber's album with the bank account I recently opened with a zero balance. In 30 days I'm going to be in unauthorized overdraft heaven.
Ciao. X
