Christmas came far too early this year and petrol prices went too far up, too much that its stopped me getting to college, I can’t afford it. I earn on average £71 a week this was fine it was keeping my car on the road and paying for food. Only certain petrol’s work in my car cheap stuff i get hardly any MPG but BP half a tank will last me all week. BP is 103.9 a litre here and ok that doesn’t seem much but it soon adds up.

Christmas is coming up fast i’ve had to buy presents just like everyone else but on £71 a week that really doesn’t reach very far at all my grentz present was £50 thats £25 each (fair enough right?) that left me with £21, My brother decides to use my card to get his Christmas present… £25ish later im in the red then he uses the card again to get grand dads present £33 wow…. £54 in the red. Then comes this week I got paid wait now i have to pay off that debt and it leaves me £17 to pay with for the week - Bollocks’d.

So I decided ok i’ll fill up my tank with that £17 to get to college £17 really doesnt go very far at all infact its only just allowed me to get to college twice this week and work (10 minute drive) for the rest of the week. My bank accounts gonna be in the red and so will the car… I have to meet up with pug306.net staff this weekend for a meet and a meeting about the site i’m taking amy with me.

its a 260 mile all round trip plus we are stopping in hotel for the night amy said she will pay half of the petrol and hotel that sounds good… but we also have gotta find food and drin, I think we are taking a picnic sort of thing to eat on the way but we are gonna need some sort of tea lol.

So where does that leave me next week for college? Well it depends whats left in my tank. I think this country is a mess and I can only home the petrol strikes are gonna help drop them its about f*cking time someone stood upto them and let them walk all over us. I think its sad that the prices of things are going up and its crippling not just students but alot of the younger generation too, I’m in £920 debt with my grandparents thats Insurance + Brake repair - I aint even started paying that off I have car tax £175 in January I have started keeping back money where I can for my tax unless its gone up.

Hmmm heres some scotish chav video

Peoples been wonder why I have not posted in a while well i’ll explain that after showing u the past 2 attempts i’ve made to blog:

Wheres the motivation?

Wheres the Inspiration?
Its gone…

Its so bad that I hardly blog here anymore, at one time where I used to blog weekly about my “fun” life its just gone

Stop closing the garage door.

It highly pisses me off, I dont like the garage door being closed all the time I open the garage door to take my car out drive up to shop come home (maximum of 10 minutes) Put car in garage… wait the doors closed!! argh Open door *waits for door to open* the door eventually opens and put car in.

Whats causes the door to be closed? because someone is a little bit button-happy and enjoys closing the door… Not for long however I shall be rewiring the button so it only opens the door and wont close it again, this will make both party’s happy, I get to have the door open and I can close it when I want and they get to open the door and full-fill there button-happiness.

I might buy a small RF kit to put on my car keys too.

So what now well i’m going to actually attempt to fully post tonight. Saturday was pretty cool i spent the day with amy then went out with pete, kt and bex that night it was going well i didnt mix my drinks until last minute urrrrghhhh then sunday i spent all day recovering not able to hold water or food in my tummy very long.

Today i didnt bother going into college instead tried to get some work done for college (which i have hardly any interest in anymore) and some work on pug306.net downtime problems as well and some client web design work and stuff.. I’m finally learning how to run a business properly with contacts and stuff so its a big step for me.

Petrol prices dont go there today i see diesel at £1.15 a litre and £1.10 for petrol outrageous, I attempted to put esso into my tank but it justdrank that so its back to good old BP stuff. Christmas is coming up FAST with only 3 weeks to go and i’ve nearly finished my christmas shopping all done online this yea - screw shops, actually i think i did all my xmas shopping online last year lol.

I guess theres a few thing I enjoy at college being with my TRUSTED mates and working in 148 on the new game machines - though even that can be tense at times. As christmas comes along TV reminds me its a family time… i feel for people who don’t have there full family to spend christmas with i wont be with my parents for the 3rd year running. *sigh*

oh well… least everything with me and amy is going well I love her and i think im coming with terms that I want to stay with her (is that the fact that im turning 20 in march *shudder* and nobody else will want me by then lol) thats another thing turning 20 in march I thought i’d never see that happen but wow here it is speeding along
