Haha, I bet you thought I was referring to that TV show didn’t you?  Well, actually no I am going to refer to the George Orwell book – 1984 - which obviously spawned the aforementioned show.  Accidentially, there is an awful lot of intellectual snobbery surrounding the show.  I used to find it fascinating and funny – but, actually after so many series it becomes a little depressing that human nature is so predictable.  Anyway, on to Mr Orwell, or to be more precise, I had a very 1984 experience today. Now, with all this talk of credits a-crunching and that we must tighten our belts and not make so many car journeys as the fuel will require a re-mortgage, and that we must all shop at Lidl etc, etc.  I found myself, today, falling for all the media hype.  Blimey they are good aren’t they?  I should know better but fallen I have and although I am Miss Positivo with a capital P in normal circumstances, I find myself fretting where my next glass of the fizzy stuff is going to come from.  Shameful thoughts and unnecessary really as nothing has changed for me in terms of income.

Ok, I know you are dying to know what my experience was… I took a look at my expenditure.  No, don’t move on just yet :)  One of my monthly outgoings is my gym membership, so when I saw an offer of health insurance with free gym membership I think to myself, well, that’s a bargain isn’t it?  The enticement was pay something like £20 for health insurance and the gym is free!  Hahaha.  Now to get this bargain I was told (by a very lovely young gent with an Irish accent – swoon) that to qualify I would have to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. No problem, I smile smuggly. Also we need to know that you are eating healthily – oh yes I do I say but how could you know if I was?  Well, we check your purchases at Sainsbury’s when you use your nectar card.  Soooo, not only do you want to know everything I put in my body (no guffaws please!, this is a semi-serious subject) I also, most definitely have to shop at Sainsbury’s?  Yes, he says, we also want you to have a fitness and BMI test every 6 months.  It went on, and on, what they want you to do, or more importantly not to do.   I am aware of how much ‘they’ know about us, it struck me today of how precisely ‘they’ can monitor us as human beings. (shiver)

Do you know what?, I decided to keep paying the £40 gym membership and not take out this health insurance.  Bloody hell, if I am that darn healthy I won’t be needing them anyway – ahhhh that’s where they make their money – super duper healthy people taking out health insurance :)
