So you are finding it very difficult to get by on the money you had from your last paycheck. You have stretched it out as long as you can, but you need some extra groceries, and you cannot afford them for another few days. Perhaps you could take out a payday loan?

Many of them make our lives easier with better cleaning and disinfectants around the home for example, but many find their way into the supply and are extremely hard to remove.The pure water technology I am talking about applies to home filtration systems and not the municipal treatment centres. From their point of view, only a tiny amount of the water used is for drinking purposes and so therefore it does not make it economically viable to ensure all the water is clean.Whilst I can appreciate this to some degree, the falling water quality standards we are experiencing today with thousands of toxins in the supply is unacceptable.
