Starting to lose the plot?

by TwistedPsycho @ 22/02/2007 - 21:54:56

This week has made me realise just how bad my finances are, and that I have to really get something sorted out about them.

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!

Oh well, you don't want to hear all of my problems, I am off to watch TV  TTFN!

i get you my budgeting skills are shit. because i enjoy going out, because i love shopping, because i don't get paid enough and because generally my parents have bailed me out of so much shit it's unreal. little tricks that may work are to not get in rounds, limit yourself to a set amount you are willing to put into bandits (in my case quiz machines) and sneak a bottle of something out with you when you are on a bender soooo much cheaper in the long run!
keep your loose change in a jar(this will build up)
good luck don't loose hope it is only money after all xxx
