vengeance is mine!

Nothing beats a greasy meal of comfort food after a mentally stimulating day at work...

money money money

Savings is in progress!

Well, they will be once the disastrous electricity bill for just one month is taken care of. I am blaming a lot of that on our dodgy water heater, but still...

I'm amending my list of things I need to have money saved for. At this point, textbooks are the highest priority on my list (bills don't count, they're an ongoing thing). Thankfully, I already have the money set aside for them in an iSaver so that's at least one thing taken care of. I need the membership fee for the heated pool. This girl plans on getting fit and shmexyfied without freezing to death in the process. Plus swimming is fun. I've setup a uSaver account (thanks for the recommendation Coz) to set aside funds to move out into my own place again when the time comes around, but I'm not sure when I'll actually have enough to contribute a decent amount to it till after this electricity bill is done and dusted.

Once the move takes place my budget will go back to normal (cos I only need to worry about myself and the mini cat) I can utilise the uSaver to save for a new car. The day I can get rid of Turtle and have a nice, unembarrassing Little Lion will be so awesome. It will be cloud 9 kind of happiness.

Well, that and it will be having to financially look after only me and in the ninja kitty :)

changes

Ok, so starting today I am definitely going to be more frugal with money. Actually, that started last week, not often I have so much cash in my wallet leading up to pay day, hehe. But yes, savings. I need them, badly. With new textbooks and rego coming up, not to mention I might want to go somewhere, or buy some nice clothes at some point (cos I don't want to look like a hobo all the time), I need to have some sort of funds set aside. That being said, I want to get fitter - well, less cuddly. I like my curves and all, but I could stand to lose some of the pudge :P

So, things I need to make sure I have money for are textbooks, car rego, pool or gym membership and violin lessons. Things I want to have money for are a new car, some pretty clothes and awesome/random weekends away.

I need to seriously stick to this. Cozzie, feel free to kick my ass if I buy unnecessary stuff like cds and books and games and junk food. Seriously.

:P

OMG

Just found out one of my old dorm buddies from uni got married recently - to the lead actress from one of my favourite guilty pleasure movies, Centre Stage. I actually remember first watching that movie in that dorm!

All the best George, you lucky devil.

productive

My gosh I cannot believe how productive I was today! I've been putting off unpacking most of my stuff for so long, but I'm now mostly unpacked. The spare room actually resembles a room someone can stay in, my room is awesome (of course), and the lounge rooms are starting look respectable again. Go me.

looooong weekend... of nothing

Exams are over for another semester, which is an absolute relief. Just the word 'exam' makes me feel stressed. You can't see it, but I'm shaking! Then again, that could be because I'm freezing.

Anywho, a long weekend has arrived and I am doing sweet bugger all. Had plans, they fell through and now I'm stuck at home chillaxing. There are worse things I suppose, I could be going out in a skimpy outfit and getting frostbite in unmentionable places like soooo many other people I know. As fun as that sounds, I am kind of sad I won't be catching up with any of them, but thems the brakes (or something). Plus I'm such a cadbury these days, a glass and a half and I'd be goneskies. Not a good look in a skimpy outfit at the racetrack.

That being said, I guess I wish I was going somewhere to socialise with someone. Anyone. Well, anyone who I actually like. I envy those with plans. Oh those crazy kids, with their fun, hehe.

Random blogging may occur. I apologise in advance!
