You know you're poor when....

1. You rely on period extras casting for your haircuts
2. You have to weigh up whether to take two buses or three on your way home
3. You decide maybe chickens aren't that important and buy the cheap, factory farmed stuff after all
4. The new Bond film comes out, and you can't afford to even get the train to stand outside the cinema...
5. You suddenly remember every frivolous purchase you've ever made (why do I own so many cardboard pirate ships?)
6. You decide to put on a second jumper instead of turning on the heating for half an hour.
7. You've had cereal for breakfast and lunch every day for a month.
8. You live in terror that your printer ink will run out before someone accepts any of the job applications you've sent because you can't afford to replace it.
9. You resent having to replace the enormous bag of rice you bought six months ago... who's been stealing it???
10. A happening Friday night consists of an episode of The Wire and a good sulk.

Hope you guys are having fun!
