Novembrrrrrrrrr

I'm not really interested in November, It doesn't offer much to the table for me, no birthdays, no events, cold & rain. However the most distressing issue for this November is my back account situation. I was sadly emergency taxed this month. which would be grand if i had saved some money, but alas  the day i went to open a savings account was the same day i read Whisty's blog post about her finds in TK Maxx and off i went to TK Maxx and burnt a hole in my laser card.

There's no-one to blame but myself for the €4.23 in my account. Times like this i wish i hadn't bought all that fake blood and scab make-up for Halloween.
And so my weekly budget is as follows:
  • car: i have a 1/2 tank of diesel so we're all good to cruise around/go to work
  • communication: i have a full phone of credit for all my textual needs and free texts to satisfy my 100 texts a day quota.
  • food: this is gonna be tricky, i plan to make cheese sandwiches (mild & creamy wexford cheese on brown bread) every time i leave the house. i have a flask to bring tea... yes it is that bad! I also plan to steal the mothers kitkats and leftover trick-r-treater sweeties, and  if i get hungry i will have to come home, realistically meaning i can only go out for three to four hours max at a time. (I'm a slave to my stomach)
  • socializing: his is tricky, I'm owed one koppaberg and a third of a bottle of peach snapps from a friend, so if the situation should occur that a night on the town is on the cards, i can just about manage and of course my womanly wiles may get me a drink... although in the past they never have! and of course the free in before 11:30 policy in my local jaunt makes for a fun night.
  • miscellaneous: apart from the €2.20 for the bus i might need once or twice, right now i can't think of anything else I could possibly need, of course as the week goes on I'm pretty sure I'll be drawn to something or other sparkly. basically theres will be no shopping or buying silly things.

whats that i hear who you say? what will i do next week...?? well I'll deal with that when i get there, don't burst my bubble!!

money willl only get you so far anyway


updates on my life as a pauper to follow.. :)

money money money money



I've taken a distinct dislike to rich people these days. Mostly because I'm very poor and also because can't see how i will be able to make any money fast and soon. Of course I've thought of the obvious options, walking the streets, selling all my belongings, thieving...

these three options failed me because a. I'd be a crappy prostitute, I don't like walking in heels, i get cold easily, being on the streets for a night would mean i miss a lot of TV .
 
b. i like my stuff, i have a lot of stuff, i haven't thrown away anything in about 11 years. I'm the ultimate hoarder.
 
c.well i was once a thief, i was 6 and i stole a mint Aero from tesco, I was very stealth about it, i put the bar down my cycling shorts ( it was 1998 - don't judge). i went straight home and ate it under my duvet. Of course, that's where my stealth ended, i left the wrappers on the floor. Mom found them and brought be back to Tesco to apologies to the manager and pay the 38p outta my pocket money, which was 50p, so quite the dent in my savings that week...


so yeah, i hate rich people, the worst rich people of all are those on Cribs. Uuugh the thought of cribs makes me shudder. They just have rooms and rooms of stuff that they don't use, like how many flat screens is too many? It makes me think that if they sold one flat screen, maybe poor people could buy new shoes.

Kimora Lee Simons' house was the worst, was she the one with the bowling ally? I remember being annoyed watching her anyway. From years of watching Cribs, the Hills, The OC, (and now there's Jersey Housewives), I've decided that maybe Communism is the way to go. I can see the appeal, spread the wealth, sharing, it's what we had to do in play school.
Although if anyone i know reads this they know i hate hate sharing. So as soon as i win the lotto i wouldn't be able to share or spread the wealth.

This post is stressing me out, I'm going to watch the Gilmore Girls..

 
to some up my feelings..
