SUBJ: “Credit Crunch”
Dear Daddy,
I just thought Iʼd write to make sure that weʼre too rich to be affected by this credit crunch thing everyone keeps boring on about…Or, to be more precise, that your credit card wonʼt be effected. As you are no doubt aware it is my lifeline out here. I mean, itʼs only been a couple of months out here but I have already lost count of the number of times Iʼve had to make emergency use of it. Theyʼve ranged from the girls and me needing emergency hot chocolates when we were up the mountain and it snowed to not realising Iʼd accidently spent my wages before getting them to needing a pair of emergency heels to go with a fancy dress costume.
For my most recent emergency your credit card proved itself invaluable as ever. Toddy from school – remember, we were on the same hockey team – was fl ying to Thailand for another gap year. She was flying via Paris and if I didnʼt go and see her it might be like seven months before I see her again!! The hotel she was staying in was so expensive. I couldnʼt have afforded a room there…and dinner…and drinks…on my meagre chalet girlʼs salary and allowance alone.
Anyhoo, we had an absolute riot and got completely blotto. Funny how an emergency can turn into something so positive. So the card is really, really important. So useful in fact that it might be worth looking into getting the limit increased. Especially as Iʼll probably have another emergency in a few months time when I fly out to see Toddy in Thailand!
Lots of love, Tiz X
