Going to Manchester is something I have always wanted to do since going to Uni at Lancaster 3 years ago but never got around to doing. I decided to correct that today. I intended to set off at about 8:15 in the morning to give us a full day there, but after a [...]

Having just got a new job I am still getting emails from lots of recruitment companies with job suggestions, offering to improve my CV and with ways of improving my career in the recession.

MP expenses starting to change

May 20th, 2009

With MP expenses all over the papers it looks like they are set to change. Why should they have all the tax payers money open to them to spend as they see fit. Hopefully we will end up with a system that stops all the abuse.
