I thought I was going to have a close month with the money, but tonight I realised that not only can I not actually spend another penny until payday (next Friday) but I also have to find £100 for my car tax. The latter has had to go on the credit card, as the DVLA notification never turned up to remind me to pay up!

I am spending way too much on socialising. In my week off, which with my days off either side was around 12 days, I spent £250. All of that on drinking and more worryingly fruit machines. I never quite realised that I was that bad, I now have to sort my life out before I lose it completely. The problem with living alone is that I do not realise these things happen and nor does anyone else until its too late.

So I am sat now in front of Most Haunted on Ftn. Really I could just get rid of the Virgin Mediabox (formerly NTL) but it is my only salvance at times. I have quite a few models that I could sell, or other items to try and offset some of these problems.... Roll on Ebay!
