A bad day on the markets!

What a difficult time we are going through worldwide. Today we saw Lehman Brothers go bankrupt and Meryl Lynch being taken over by Bank of America.

Stockmarkets around the world plummeted with Financial stocks suffering particularly badly.

The word on the street is that it's not over yet. There's still more to come, so we need to be even more canny with our money and thriftyness.

I went searching for a funny youtube clip for Canny Squirrel to lighten the mood of the day.

Have a look at this one!!
