Old mother Adrian Hubbard went to the cupboard, but the cupboard was bare. I spent all my money on taxis and covercharges last night (I only managed one drink) so now I am broke. I had enough money to get a packet of chips from the vending machine this afternoon, but I’m still two days away from payday.

I opened the meatlocker, tonight I am eating cheesy rice with tomatos, sweet chillie and soy sauce. It could use some meat and veg. Good lord, if I’m like this now how will I be at the new job where I will earn far less? Or even more worrying, when I go to university next year! How will I pay the bills? Suddenly the future seems a whole less bright. The fact that for the last few weeks I’ve been sick isn’t really helping the prospective.

I refuse to surrender, I refuse to give in, I am determined to succeed!
