A wise write A&B. Oohh I know. I always go to the 99p shop. The £1 shop is far too expensive! Aww, why they call me 'tight'?! heehee.
Is it true that one of these does not exist now?
Yes Indeed UNCLE STEVE - Profit margins are very small in POUND SHOPS so one of them has gone to the WALL ! Brian & I were brought up in Middle Class Homes (A Newspaper Editor & A Wine Merchant !) so were both taught the value of every PESO ! We shop @ ALDI (You know it makes sense) and Dine @ the HUNGRY HORSE - Good Food - Good Value - Good Company ! I have a fixed BUDGET for Clothes and Brian for gadgets ELECTRONIC & BOOKS ! Brian wanted a BOOK on BIOCHEMISTRY (£40) he got one on line for £1 plus £2:50 postage ! Both our Families are keen we get on the Housing ladder (BRIAN has an option to BUY his flat which is near the College & The Hospital !) With our savings and an interest free loan from both our parents we can afford it ! We are 31 & 36 not 16 & 21. Despite CLIMATE CHANGE we intent to start a Family (DEO VOLENTES) in 2021 - AMEN
Blessings to YOU & The BISHOP of BARKING
Love in the SPIRIT Angela & Brian 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
I checked online (just a bit) on these 'commandments on money' but it doesn't really feel like...disinterest, but in a huge way...it is worth a lot when it comes to this poem.
Probably it's because I know you in the sense that you always share a part of your life in your post or your comment.
So when I read them, I do feel like...'bonding'?
I was looking for something in regards to money that could work like 'motivational', but it always has to be something which I can relate myself to...and this is the first thing.
An idea is to put this up on my wall...the wall of my room.
Thanks J44 for a very encouraging response ! Angela & I are both TEACHERS (Physio & Applied Science) and we often find if we can reduce a difficult subject (like Budgetting) down to TEN DIGESTABLE RULES it makes it much easier to understand & remember ! Thats how Folk Lore flourished before writing or printing ! I have lots of MANTRAS & LISTS on my Walls as Aide Memoires and Conscience Prickers !
Blessings & Peace & Joy to YOU & YOURS
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙

Oh this was an enjoyable read. Turning a subject as serious and important as money management into a rhyme. Excellent... Thank you!
Thanks CLARA ~ BRIAN here ! At College I run a Poetry Grouop for the Silver Surfers (Seniors 60+). I get them to put SERIOUS TOPICS like BUDGETTING ~ DIETING & EXERCISE etc into POETRY ! This makes these topics less scary & more understandable. Pleased you enjoyed it thanks for your supportive COMMENT
Yours as always BRIAN & ANGELA

I (BRIAN ) have always banjked with the NATWEST for the last 20 Years and have never had any problems and i know my Money is safe with them ! I always pay off my Credit Cards every Month. Angela has her own acount also with NATWEST ! Pleased you enjoyed the presntation !
Blesings to YOU & JOYCE

You are just newbie with Natwest, I have been with them since the nineteen sixties. I don't have credit cards, if I can't afford it I don't get it.
