    And what a night it was :j

    Didn't surface til around 3.30pm today :eek: and have felt absolutely grim but what a night. Three of my great male friends came with me and it was just hilarious!

    Money wise things are okay. I have £450 left in the buffer as I have been using it to live til I get paid at the end of the month. Totally fine with this as thats what its for. I am also waiting for 10 days worth of rent (about £170) which I'll get back when I move out and about £250 back from the good people at housing benefit. This is taking forever as my landlord is a :mad: When I get all this back I'll be using it for Xmas presents :jand other bits.

    I'll also get a good wage at the end of Nov as it'll be a month and a weeks cash so I'm hoping to get my Goa ticket with some of it :j

    In York this week with work and then moving on Sat to the Burgh. It's a new adventure and I'm looking forward to it. No idea when the shop will open so might be all over the place for a while.

    The buffer will be gone by Sat as Im giving my friend £350 of it and I'll need the rest for living. It's been a godsend and I'm hoping to grow it again quite quickly for next years hols.

    Enjoying Chatty Man then bed as Im up at 5.30 tomorrow :eek: X

    Congrats on the new job, glad it's going well! I've just read your entire diary, what an enthralling read. Definitely going to try and keep up with this! :)

    I'll never be a party animal but I am envious of how confident you appear to be!

    Hope the move to Burgh goes OK
