Lies, Damn Lies

Money money money

Ah, abba eh? I actually went to see the Abba musical a while back, and it was surprisingly good. I dunno, I kind of liked Abba back then though, which isn't really the case now. I can't say I want to see the Queen musical. Or the boy George musical. Honestly, they've kind of run out of ideas, haven't they? I mean, if you are going to be a musical writer you'd think that you'd want to write your own music really, rather than just using someone elses. Its hardly like the plots of musicals are generally awe inspiring. But the Abba musical WAS quite good.

Anyway, I digress. I have been spending a lot of money this month. Far too much. My self imposed goal has been failed completely. Partly the problem is that I'm paying by card rather than cash (debit card. I'm not insane), which means I don't see how much money I have left that much, so I don't get scared. In my defense though, currently my flatmates owe me £70 and www.dabs.com owes me £60. With the return of these I'll be doing.... alright. Its jsut I don't get money for a while, and the month has some time left..... Sob. I could, of course, avoid going out, which I may do, but avoiding eating is a trickier proposition.

On the eating front, its going well. Yesterday I had steak, which was great, but for only a few drawbacks. The steak itself was out of date. I had frozen it however. The day after it had gone off, but that surely isn't the point. Well, ok maybe, just maybe it is. But theres no way I was gonna throw away steak, damnit! Along the way I noticed I had left a plate so long that it had grown mold. We have no hot water now, so I can't clean it properly either. But I made my lunch on it because it looked clean......

And I wonder how my housemates caught my cold. To be fair we DO use seperate plates so they don't eat my bacteria. Clearly very hygenic. Clearly......
