I voted improving, but the reason for that is the bad forecasts have pushed us into a lot of overdue belt tightening. No midweek drinking (maybe not tonight
) xmas pretty much cancelled, well we've got truces with most friends and relatives, a lot more staying in and more bike than car rides.
In a lot of ways we've rediscovered old things which used to be fun. On the other hand a bit of money might take the sting out of being poor!
