Default Budget 2009

So, how will it affect everyone next year?

According to the BBC, I'm going to be out of pocket by around £7. Not much, but I'm not exactly Mr. Moneybags and Alistair Darling is a knob.

Apparently I'm going to be £19.43 better off. But apparently on my fuel it'll be almost £100 extra.

I put down 3 pints a week, because I barely drink as it is at the moment, so seems about right.
