Ghostmadlittlemiss' first diary! Wish me luck!

ghostmadlittlemiss

I'm back in Bath and I'm knackered.

I'm really worried about the MOT. The car hasn't moved in 3 weeks and I'm not sure if it'll even start. I hate taking it out when there's no guarantee of a parking space when I get back and I know I'll end up looking like a idiot and using tons of petrol getting into a space when I finally find one. I don't know if I mentioned, but parking's not my strong point. Hence going for a house with a driveway in Sept. I'm taking it to the garage tomorrow though and giving it a good run out on Fri, all being well. Hopefully, that should stop any problems.

My mum didn't have nearly as many CDs as she claimed. I've brought them back and am going through listing them on Ebay. I don't know if I'll get much but I'll try. I'm also thinking of going to the O2 shop in Bath, seeing if I can upgrade to a new phone and then selling the upgrade on Ebay. Does anyone know if you can actually do that? I can't see why you couldn't. I'll give it a go.

I've just picked up another mystery shop for this Sat. I'm doing quite well this month, I've done one and got another 3 lined up. Not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up but it's certainly helping at the moment. I need a actual job though. I'm thinking of ringing up about one as a cloakroom attendant at a nightclub in Bath. Only problem is, they'll probably want me to work weekends. Then again, at the moment, I can't really be all that fussy. I'll ring them, see what they say.

Also, I've got the signing for my house tomorrow. I'd better not forget that. :eek:

Again, it's later than I wanted to go to bed. So here's my list for tomorrow and then I'll go.

Housework

Wash pots.
Washing hokey cokey clothes from mum's.

Hello Kayleigh
I've just found your diary, noticed at the start that you mentioned that nobody was reading, well you've picked up quite a few followers now! Nobody ever reads mine either lol but I do find it helps don't you? Nice to just get thoughts down where you can see them.

Hope your car does OK tomorrow, again I know where you are coming from on the parking - I would rather turn around and go back home again than try to reverse park lol.

I read on ebay that it's free now or something to list items? And they don't charge unless you sell the item so that should help you make a bit of cash, def try music magpie if they don't sell though.

I'll subscribe, so see you soon :j

(I said that and then promptly closed the window and had to find you again... doh!)

ghostmadlittlemiss

@ silaqui - I think that's Amazon that does that. But if they don't sell, they're going on Music Magpie. I'm just giving Ebay a go first. Thanks for subscribing, hopefully I'll see you on here again soon.

I could cry.

I've just walked to the house signing, in the freezing rain, to find the ****er's charging us full rent for the summer, even though we're not there! So as well as paying my grandma back £300 in April, I have to pay him either £150 or £210 in April (reason for the confusion is he said £210 before and is saying £150 now), and then come up with another £310 on the 1st July! :eek: As well as paying £300 per month on the place I'm in! :eek: And £310 on the 1st August and then again on 1st Sept! :eek: (Am I overusing the shocked smilie? ) How I'm going to do this I don't know. I haven't the foggiest clue how I'm going to cope without landing in even more debt. Both of the jobs I just rang up about have gone and the cleaning one from before still hasn't got back to me. What on Earth am I meant to do?

I now have 10 mins to have a rushed sandwich with stale bread before I go off to my evening lecture. I won't be back until at least 7:30 so I'll write again then.

I had cereal instead. I'm now killing time while I wait for the bus. I'm still worried about the job situation but I've sent off to the uni Job Shop for information on jobs they've got going and if all else fails, I'll make a appointment with welfare. I probably should do that anyway, I just feel guilty about the fact that I've blown money on rubbish (and a car) and now I don't have any left. I'm not sure if they'd even be able to help me. I guess it's worth a shot.

After originally telling me that it would be a 5 minute job, the garage has asked me to book an appointment for having overtaking mirrors fitted. I've decided to have them done at the same time as my MOT and booked that for 10:30am on Fri. I really hope it passes. If not, the repairs will have to go on a card, which will mean even more to pay off this summer. And now I have to cover the rent as well, there won't be anywhere near as much that I can throw at the debts as I thought. I really need a job!

I'm going to head off now and wait for the bus. Thanks for listening to me winge for a bit. It really helps for me to get my thoughts down and I know that when all this is over, I'll have something to look back on to prove that if I coped with this, I can cope with anything.

You know, I'm starting to think this is some kind of karma. On the way back from uni, I got soaked by the rain, trod in dog cack and accidentally ran through a huge puddle and soaked my socks. Thankfully, the rain has washed what I trod in off but I've put my jeans in the wash anyway since they were my really long pair that gets caught under my trainers. I'm doing pizza fingers for dinner in a minute and then I'm going to collapse in a heap. You'd think my life was stressful, reading this, wouldn't you? I do 9 hours a week worth of lectures and I can barely find time to have a life around them. What on Earth will I be like after uni when I'm working 37 hours a week?

Anyway, on with dinner then hopefully one more update before bed saying what I'm doing tomorrow.

As you can see, the last update didn't happen. Yet again, I fell asleep with the light on and my laptop still at the bottom of my bed. And yet according to British Gas, we're spending more on gas than electric when the heating is the only gas powered thing in the house and on for a grand total of 3 hours a day. Not sure how that works, but that's what they say.

Somehow I managed to sleep through my alarm and yet still wake up at 7:00am on the dot. Wish I could do that everyday. It's now 7:30 though, and I still haven't got up. I need to leave the house at 8 so I'd better get a move on.

Housework

Wash pots.

Bag of rubbish.

You know those !!!!!! moments we all have? I've just had one now. I just went to pay my c/c bill online and glanced at the available balance. I then had to look again as I was convinced I was in my bank account by mistake. I knew full well I didn't have over £400 available balance on that card. Then I looked down at my credit limit and they've upped it by £250 without telling me! Evidently, I'm the perfect customer and they wanted to give me the opportunity to make them even more money. :mad: And the annoying thing is, I'm glad of it. If the car needs repairs after the MOT, it'll have to go on that card because I didn't budget for it. When will I learn?

I've just got back from doing a mystery shop in town and I'm going to enter my results now.

I got a e-mail off my uni earlier today. Apparently, they never received my mitigating circumstances letter, despite me handing it to them in person, and so the marks for all my essay re-sits will be capped at 40%, which is the lowest pass mark. I sent an e-mail to my tutor just before I left for the mystery shop, asking what I do about this. No reply as of yet but I'll keep you posted. I'm furious, I handed Student Programs the letter in person so evidently they lost it. I'm not letting them get away with this. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sheffield United have just won so that's £4 and I can't remember how many pence that can go towards the c/c. Plus, I get my stake refunded and my shopper's fee next month. :j

I'm off to bed soon so I'll just do a quick list for tomorrow. As you can see, I've been neglecting housework a bit lately, I'll have to catch up on that soon.

Housework

Pots.
Laundry.
Binbag.

Uni
[STRIKE]Talk to Denise about mitigating circumstances letter, find out who I need to play holy hell with.[/STRIKE] Done. I need another copy of the letter.
Get Denise to sign off copy of my passport for savings account.

General

[strike]Daily scratch.[/strike] Done. 50p, yay! :j
[strike]CBT meeting at 2:30pm[/strike] The woman's called in sick, next appointment is 21st April! :mad:

I really hope I can find out what went wrong with the letter. I'm still angry but I'm also getting worried now. Even though the job I want doesn't require a degree, I still want a decent grade at the end of uni. I've got myself in such a mess, haven't I?
