Repayments and Enfranchisements
Suffice it to say, mister Gossy did not come out to play tonight - he was ill with man 'flu; working hard to get this promotion has knocked the stuffing out of him, it seems. We will have to reschedule. Nevertheless, I'm not as disappointed as before: at least I received a text message back from him this time. I decided to buy myself a kebab on the way home from work, which was pleasantly self-indulgent. What was better is that I got it from the kebab shop at the top of town, not the one on the High Street, which employs the creepy guy that gives me lustful glances. I suppose I should be flattered. But when you're after another guy, and the one throwing these looks is a fortysomething Turkish midget, I can happily say I'm doing much better.
On a much more positive note, I've managed to achieve a milestone in my life. I have paid back my overdraft! Yay! That £1000 of debt has been hanging like a proverbial noose around my neck since the second year of university. You may recall I described at great length my lack of student loan then. Now that is paid off, I feel I've really closed that chapter in my life.
I still need to write my personal statement. At least I had a good long look at it this morning in work. No writing really, just looking.
Oh, and Parent's nearly reached the twenty-first century. I sent her an email from work (to her workplace; they've finally been allowed personal email accounts!), and received one back shortly afterwards. Admittedly, since it was so busy in work, I hadn't noticed I'd got the email 'til i came home, and she mentioned she'd replied. Nevertheless, it was still nice. "Test email received. Tks. Love Mum. x x x" She may drive me mad, but I couldn't do without her. :-)
