I tend to enjoy Christmas with a slightly uneasy feeling most years. It's an expensive time of year and Like so many in the private sector, I have found my salary to be "volatile" over the last 6 years.
I guess that the recession must be truly over because this year I feel no uncertainty, no uneasiness and don't feel as if I am looking over my shoulder at cost.
What's most odd is that I feel this way despite just receiving a totally unexpected 3k tax bill (I'm on PAYE So this just astounds me that this will cost me £300 a month to sort out their mistake) plus, last night our family car broke down for the second time with a blown turbo...
It's going to be a very expensive Christmas but one that has a genuine sense of hope for the future.
