Boring Diary

We had the conversation about black sabbath tickets. Dh decided against going as he didn’t want to see a diminished Ozzie. I still remember the first ticket that cost me double figures. It was the Rolling Stones at Slane.

Well done on your progress so far!!

well done on finding the fiver too. I litter pick locally and there’s one girl who always finds money. It goes in the ‘wages’ purse and pays for coffees when we’ve finished 😂

I second Metallica if i could only listen to 1 band for the rest of my life. I first saw them when I was 14 and I was recently horrified to realise that in September that will be 40 years ago 😮.  I was hoping to get tickets to see them at the gig with Sabbath in the summer but it wasn’t to be ☹️

Thirty years for me since the first time I saw Metallica although at the time I was a Megadeth fan (still am) and it seemed you had to pick one or the other. 

I tried to get tickets for the Sabbath gig but didn’t expect to so wasn’t too disappointed. 

I am currently listening to my latest CD purchase which arrived in the post today.

Well, the title was apt as the diary was so boring I stopped posting.

Loan is ticking over but I managed to get the credit card down to 200. I have to get this down to zero by 23rd October so I’m confident I can do this. I went on a short and cheap holiday and underspent so threw the money I brought back at the card - which is a change for me - before lockdown I would have spent it.

Rather than boring, I'd call it a factual record of your debt free progress and you took a break from your diary rather than stopped posting.

You're making good progess - good luck.

I actually really enjoy your diary! 

I'm trying not to get FOMO for the Black Sabbath extravaganza tomorrow 😂

Meanwhile metallica are now coming next year .......

Thank you for the comments 

Managed to get tickets for Metallica in Cardiff - £87 which by today’s standards seems a bit of a bargain!

I'll be there as well! Went for a not money saving option but the wife said I don't go anywhere and I've been selling lots of clutter on eBay.

Good choice 👍 although they might be around for a few more years there might not be many more chances to see them give a full on performance.

I find it interesting how some bands age like a good wine and some less so!

Some of the bands I've seen like Maiden/ AC/DC have been spectacular even in their older years. Some perhaps less so and I wouldn't rush back to see prefering to remember them in their best years (sorry Axl I'm looking at you).

Does make me wonder if those that have made it well.into their "older" years are the ones who maybe cleaned up the rock n roll lifestyle slightly earlier than others.

It's no wonder I'm broke ......
