Money and cars

Ok its November now and I am not much closer in getting my Christmas presents bought. This is due to my damn car!!!! I never have any money because of it grrrr. Well I have bought his nibs Christmas present which is a few bits and pieces and a mini break in London with tickets to an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum. Ooo how cultured are we? Luckily me, my mum and my sister have put limits on how much we are spending on each other this year for Christmas, this is great as I don’t have to worry too much then either.

I long for the day when I don’t have to fork out loads of money on my car, or for the day when money isn’t so much of a problem. Why does it always feel like you are on a constant struggle against the world? It makes more sense now as Britain heads into a recession, that we’re going to have less money to spend and more and more people will be made redundant and loose their jobs. As reading back on previous rantings I can see I have had many a car trouble. After the exhaust the following month my breaks went and then this month it was in for its MOT and service and now next month I need to replace the Auxiliary belt. Eeep even more money gone!!!! Luckily I have saved a little bit to put towards the cost of my car, or Christmas presents.

I suppose not all parts of your life can run smoothly all at one time and the only thing that has needed doing is my car, so I shall count myself lucky that it’s not my work or personal life going wrong, just my finances. (November 2008)

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

Dreams

Aren ’t dreams weird? I had the most bizarre one yesterday whilst dozing. I dreamt that I was a Chinese MAN of all things, and I was running my own Chinese restaurant. Then a door swung open showing what looked like the yard behind the Chinese with two big skip bins. By the side of the bins were two men, I somehow had a gun in my hand and shot the two guys and then door swung shut and I carried on running the restaurant as if nothing had happened. I have no idea what this means at all. The shooting I can imagine is from the fact that his nibs was playing a computer game at the time where he was a hit man, but the whole Chinese thing, I have no idea. I am definitely one for crazy dreams though. When I was younger, about 5 or 6 I had a dream I was in school and everyone apart from me had one normal leg and one pig’s leg. I was trying to get out of the school playground but there were people everywhere with a pig’s leg. Even my best friend at the time appeared and asked why I did...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...
