MP's expenses - Bottle Bar Nine extract

Seeing that the issue of MP's expenses is the hot media topic for today, I have decided to offer an extract from http://bottlebarnine.blogspot.com/. In the past, I have worked at both the Conservative and the Labour party conferences doing bar and catering related work.

...I am put on a makeshift bottle bar

Near the function marquee

But in there

The booze is free

So no-one comes to me

It is a relatively quiet
Opening night
But my next few shifts
Are a different story...

My bottle bar is shifted
To a busy location
In a corridor bend
Between Mountbatten bar
And the library

My takings are low
In the early evening
Come 3 am
When everyone is battling
To get to the main bar
I become an absolute
God-send

They still gasp at the jacked up
Prices of my bottled beer
‘And I want a receipt with that please dear!’
Don’t they all !
Someone even wanted my entire till roll...

Gonewiththewinds - A rewrite

http://gonewiththewinds.co.uk/

Although I will be keeping this ebook available for those of you who come across it, I do in fact, have plans for a rewrite once I have the time, energy and funds to do so. The focus of the new ebook will be on the break-up drama and the ecological poetry will be moved to another website. I am hoping to make the drama even grittier and more tense.

My Red Shoes

My Red Shoes

9 March 09

After reading that some people who have published themselves through print-on-demand companies don’t manage to sell any copies at all, I am now feeling very nervous. It has wrenched my head from out of the clouds and given me a reality-check-shock.

As usual I have all my eggs in just one basket and am now starting to wonder whether blindly pursuing my dream is leading me down the path to my own financial ruin. I just hope my Dorothy red shoes are enough to save me.

Drowned Rat

Drowned Rat

Someone has described me today as being a 'drowned rat' with my constant crisis of confidence. My wavering lack of confidence mirrors the lack of confidence in the economy at the moment, and every time we think the tide is finally turning upwards, it pulls back down again to even deeper lows.

I have no kitchen sink today as my kitchen is in the process of being renovated so I have to use my bathroom to do my washing up. When I say bathroom, I mean a badly built shed attached to my house with an ancient bath suite dumped in it. I even take my jewellery out of there when there is a strong wind about, like last night, just in case the whole thing gets blown over, Wizard of Oz style.

Back on track

It's 26 Feb. Sorry about my last blog - abit of a crisis of confidence and writer's block. Am back on track today - have absorbed myself in my last two economy poems. I have been advised to scrap these last two and just get the collection out but that doesn't feel right to me. It takes me a while to digest what is going on in the economy - that is all.
Royal Bank of Scotland shares have shot up today on announcing a £ 24 billion pound loss - it's strange what an upside down, topsy turvy world the markets seem to live in.

Under Pressure

It's the 23rd Feb. I'm so annoyed with myself. I'm under so much pressure to get my collection out that I feel I have to rush my last poems - which I hate doing ! I wish I understood the economy - instead I am listening and feeling all the undercurrents - the angry comments at media websites - of everyone's suffering and vented anger . I wish I could capture it all - then it would truely be national. Instead, I can't give my best because of being pushed into such a tight financial corner - being squeezed and stressed out all the time - worrying seems to take up quite a big portion of my brain. Oh hell !
