I think every one is freaking out about the state of the economy at the moment. I know I am because the work I do is not steady and we have just bought our own house — it’s probably the worst time to be doing that but according to the experts this recession is going to last at least a few years — so it was sort of a case of now or never.

I feel most for my fiances boss, he bought a few properties just before things started to take a down turn — with the plan of renting them out and raking it in. Now a few years later he can’t rent them out for peanuts and is losing out by having to pay the mortgages and upkeep of the buildings himself. The whole situation has really put him and his main business in a precarious position.

He is currently obsessed with finding ways his business can save money and I don’t blame him, because something has to change or give or else he will be going under pretty soon — most certainly by the end of 2009 — and this makes me nervous about my fiances job.

If the restaurant goes down, it takes him with it

This show is unmitigated drivel.

I love it!

I am amazed that people still don’t see that Paris is an actress, people actually believe that she’s dumb when in fact she is clearly very smart. Here’s a woman who was completely unknown and with no talents, who is now known throughout the world and raking in millions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound too dumb to me.

The show is nonsense, it’s silly and creepy and lame — but I can’t help but be amused by it

I have been phone shopping today, unfortunately not for myself though — I love getting a new phone but I have been behaving and not trading in every few months as I used to.

The phone is for my mum, hers has given in after about 8 years of use and she wants it replacing asap. I asked her what sort of phone she wanted and ‘flip’ was the only thing she told me — with a bazillion phones on the market that really doesn’t help me narrow it down!

I have been looking at phones with MP3 players, good cameras, mini games for her to play and Three Deals so she can get the best possible phone in her price range.

After all that she chose a £10 Alcatel flip phone that’s most advanced feature is probably that you can turn it on and off.

Parents, huh?

I just watched this weeks episode of The Biggest Loser USA and was disappointed to discover that they did go there at the end of the last episode, they gave away which two people would fall below the yellow line.

Way to go.

It may have brought in a few extra viewers, but it surely peed off a lot of regular viewers. Myself included. If I wanted spoilers I would go looking for them, Grrs.

I think the right decision was made in the end, Dan had fallen below the line before and his partner was not dedicated. Seeing Dan at the end really made me realise how much work he has to do, he had lost 100 pounds and he still looked pretty huge, he has a long road ahead of him but it seems he is definitely on the right track.

Go Dan.
