Survived another (lunar) month without completely running out of money - hooray! Due to some technical problem or other this week's wage slips haven't arrived yet. Nevertheless, the actual wages have turned up!
Hmm, what is it all going to get spent on this month? First up was a maintenance payment. Apparently you still have to pay for your kids to be fed even after you've skedaddled with all the family silver. The laws in this country are ker-razy!
The usual bills: rent, getting the prepaid electric meter key to work at Sainsbury's, council tax, TV licence, phone, internet, satanic cult dues, laser hire and £3 a month to the psychic goat sanctuary.
Two birthdays! Due to poor scheduling son numbers one and two are both getting numerically older before the next payday. And with it being my birthday the month after if I don't get them anything they're bound to get the huff and not bother getting me anything in return. I hate having nothing to open on the day. Gift vouchers - or those 'credit card' type things that seem to be all the rage these days - just won't cut it. What sort of exchange rate is two cakes in order to get one in return? What a swizz!
Normally I have a bit of a splurge at the beginning of the month - maybe buy a DVD or two, or a CD or something. The truth is I have a shedload of stuff that I haven't read/seen/listened to yet so there's no great demand for new things. Although the Region 1 DVD of Adventure Time is out on the 27th, that'd be cool. Hmm, I suppose I should wait until next payday for that, really. It wouldn't be long after the release date.
There's a charity donation I'm overdue at making. Get on to that tomorrow.
Got to set up the payments for the new HD Humax too. That's going to take a chunk out of the proceedings for the next six months, but I knew that when I got it.
I've got most of the comics I want for now so that won't make too much of an impact of funds. There are the UK Marvel Collectors editions - I'll be picking up some of these tomorrow including Fantastic Four Adventures and Avengers Unconquered. I like the fact that you can still pick up US comics from WH Smith, even if they are reprints.
By all means suggest other things I can spend my wages on in the comments section, or on my Facebook page. I'm off to sleep now - my favourite free thing.
More soonliest
