    Wow, it is quiet on here! I don't have much to report, I'm starting to finally have a life now lol, though I'm trying not to spend too much. I went to slimelight on Saturday which was good :). I only need another £100 towards the larger overdraft which is also good. I have to pay for the bed but I really did need that, and I'm using vouchers to get the duvet & covers so I'm saving there kind of.

    Anyhoo, once that is paid off the serious debt busting starts. I hope you're all okay wherever you are!

    *edit* I've just withdrawn £40 from paypal and I didn't get charged, I've just looked and it seems like all withdrawals are free now. Yay :D.

    My friend was hungry so we left at 3, then he fell asleep in the car! We got back at 4.30, I wasn't impressed to see the sun rising because I can't sleep when it's light, but the bars didn't close at 1 so at least that was something :). You have no idea how happy taking the £50 limit away has made me, it's quite sad really, 25p isn't exactly the world :o.

    £6, that's a strange amount! I've just been going through my emails, I've got an interview for a job I applied for 2 months ago, I'm not sure what to do :(.
