I appear to have lost the keys to my car, motorbike and house while at work. They are either in the safe at work, somewhere in Crewe Bus Station, at the petrol station in Newcastle (where I stop to buy Red Bull) or somewhere on the floor, cos they aren`t in either of the two buses I drove, nor are they in my pockets where they belong, nor left ( Read more... )

recently I started an update on saving up for a Honda CB750 I had been offered, and then everything went wrong (like life is wont to do), and so I stopped updating in disgust.

Well, the time came for me to decide if I could afford it or not, and I decided not, sadly. The bike is stunning, and really cheap for the age etc, but still £500 out my ( Read more... )

Wow! There is one in the morning too ( Read more... )

Well, after last weeks soul-destroying news, I`ve decided to continue to try and save, and this might be boosted by the fact that I have had to cash in (up to) 7 days holiday remaining to me this year (Our holiday entitlement runs from Sep 1 to Aug 31 - and we are fully booked so no one can book any more), so in two weeks I should have somewhere ( Read more... )

Seriously bad news happened today. My application for benefits was turned down, so not only have I got to start finding an extra £113 a month for Council Tax, I`ve also now got to pay my arrears. fun ( Read more... )

I went to the bank, and found out I only have just enough to cover my rent next week (and barely, at that) so again, I can save nothing.

Day 3: Nothing!!

Grand Total:

Saved = £28 Needed = £1072

Today a man was sent to prison for 12 months, after telling people on the tube (while drunk) that he was a suicide bomber, and they had one minute to live ( Read more... )

well. I am at the most interesting cyber evening ever. I don't think that Lancashire is ready for Industrial music yet, as most the evening has been spent listening to the most un-industrial music possible, with most of it being Marilyn Manson. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with Manson, but to be honest, if I pay to go to an Industrial ( Read more... )

Today, I was forced to go and pay the council tax for this month (first time since I moved here, I`ve been unable to afford it up to now (I still can`t afford it, but I haven`t sorted out the benefits form yet)) which is £117 for a band B house and so I was forced to travel into the next town to pay, as the council offices in Middlewich are only ( Read more... )
