So... I owe myself money?
What if I can't pay? Do I have to take myself to court? The thing is, I wouldn't put it past myself to take matters into my own hands to get my money back. I just know this is going to start with me throwing bricks through my windows and end with me pistol whipping myself in an abandoned warehouse.

I thought this whole crisis was caused by people getting too much credit and borrowing too much money so why are they trying to get the banks to start lending us money again?
And the stupid cut in interest rates. Now the interest people will earn on their savings will be so low compared to inflation that you will lose a lot of money through saving, it's just like being charged to keep your money in the bank which we now part own.
more importantly, the chances of that cut being passed on to mortgage customers? Absolutely no hope.

Woohoo ! Interest rate cuts, just remortgaged with a tracker mortgage. That means we save money on our mortgage even though we've only just started it ! Probably save around 100 pounds a months or some such amount..

Because too little lending is just as damaging to the economy as too much.

Further signs of the downturn today with Woolworths and MFI moving towards administration. About 30,000 jobs could go if these 2 fall.
Thought this was a natural place to mention this news.
