I was visiting a good friend for coffee and comfort cake the other day and she was complaining about how she was short of cash AGAIN and had the car rego due next week. So I asked that awful question: ‘How’s your budget?’
‘Look in the tea pot.’ I did, and found there was a $10 note, a used train ticket and some bits of Lego. That was all she had until next Thursday, and today was Friday afternoon.
