For many articles I write, I earn no more than £250 and often struggle to make £500 a week — just over what my rent is.But, superficially, my habits remain the same: I go to parties, eat at restaurants when my friends invite me, and pray they don’t ask me to go Dutch.

Five years ago, I earned £1,200 a week from my work as a TV and film producer and would have thought nothing of spending £45 on a pot of gold-lidded lusciously scented body cream as a Christmas present for a distant cousin... These days, I am lucky if I earn £500 a week as a writer.
...
My mother spent hours wrapping presents, turning even a mundane gift into an enticing, beribboned box worthy of one of the Three Kings.
Following in her footsteps, I used to buy ribbons from VV Rouleaux — now their price of £50 for velvet and silk ribbons seems truly shocking. Obscene, even. So I was thrilled to spot a six-pack of gold twine at Tesco for £2, and I’m hoping that will do the trick.

What this basically reveals, Waity Katey in pursuit of her dream has no friends. If in a guest list of 1900 odd, the bride can only scare up a handful of girls, it speaks volumes about her. It looks like most of 'their' friends are in fact William's, but then that is not knew since we all know she keeps quiet, at the ready for him and whatever /whomever he likes, she likes. Cannot trust this girl.

Doubt that they will rule. Cameron is taking the first steps to change and eventually destroy the monarchy. Bliar and Brown handed over the ruling of the UK to the EU. And in such a corrupt and unelected institution there is no place for a UK monarchy . Just as the EU is destroying nations, monarchies will follow.- norman hall, norwich england EUSSR ruled, 2/5/2011 8:28
Anyone know what these "first steps" are supposed to be?
