Diary of a Notting Hill Nobody

I do want to believe there’s more to life than money but it does seem a bit — well — impractical

MONDAY
I do want to believe there’s more to life than money but it does seem a bit — well — impractical. Mummy is furious. Says if Dave would care to pay our vet’s bills for the two months Sesame has been malingering with horsey colic, then she will happily admit that money isn’t everything. In the meantime, if it’s OK with Dave, we’ll just go on working our fingers to the bone for hard cash. ‘It’s all right for them,’ she rants. ‘If their horses get sick, I expect they just sell another painting.’ Daddy says we are going to have to tighten our belts. Before I know what’s happening they’ve identified me as the biggest drain on their resources and made me promise to demand a pay rise. This can’t be what Dave meant.
