Firstly, a rather belated birthday wish to Nisha. It was her birthday on Thursday and she celebrated in a jolly fashion by drinking an awful lot of champagne and subsequently re-inventing the rules of Texas hold Em and licking my ear. I've never experienced a girl licking my ear before. It was moist but not entirely unpleasant. I've also never played no-rules poker before. It was moist but not entirely unpleasant. Happy Birthday.

Owing to the failure of my present financial planning system (once again I didn't win), I've been toying with the idea of spending less and earning more. To get some top tips I was looking last night at a website devoted to matters of personal finance. There's a bizarrely addictive forum where people write about their debt problems and how they've managed to save money. For some reason I find myself absolutely fascinated by reading people's spending diaries. "Monday. Food at work: £4.69, cigs: £4.05, TV guide: 49p".

That's not really interesting, is it? I do like reading shopping lists mind.

I tried the diary idea myself earlier in the year but I don't think I have the necessary levels of shame for it to work. "Monday: Taxi to work: £5.70, Booze at Sainsbury's: £22.50".
