Today has been a rather spendy (or potentially spendy!) day! Bought my Gold ticket for T1 this morning, and then heard back from somebody about renting an apartment for Comic Con next year, which we're going to be putting a deposit on this week. It's all very exciting! I also bought two pairs of jeans in Dorothy Perkins at lunch because they're

searching for jobs is like the worst thing ever...i hate it!

[naughtyelf]

I have my fingers crossed I won't need to look, but if I do, I can go back to my old job as a hotel receptionist (or cleaner if they don't need a receptionist!!) while I look, so at least I'll have money coming in. Which is good!

[artistabella]

hotel receptionist...that sounds like a really neat job! i'd like to be a hotel receptionist...well, as opposed to my other jobs...

[naughtyelf]

I don't really want to do it again, it was hard work, too hard to make social life plans as I had to just do whatever the rota said, pretty much. There were good points, but for the most part I was glad to get out of there!

[starryeyedmagic]

Oh wow, that's awesome! I'm jealous that you're going to T1!

[naughtyelf]

I'm really really looking forward to it! It'll be my 19th (possibly 20th depending on if I buy a ticket for the Galactica con in December) Starfury convention - the amount of money of mine that man has taken since 2003 is insane!

I'm going to have to try and be good with my spending at T1 as all my money next year is going towards our trip to Comic Con!

[starryeyedmagic]

woah 20 in just the last 5 years?! I'm impressed!

[naughtyelf]

Yep - and that's just Starfury!! I've been to a bunch of Collectormania/London Film and Comic Con/London Expo events as well as a Heroes con run by another company, and a few cons in the States too!

I made a list here!

money stress ARGH!

you should get your money straight away from max but i may have to wait, so if i'd really desperate i'll send you my deposit in 2x £100 sections if that's ok? but that's only if I'm really short I don't want to you to get interest on my section of the money.

I just keep telling myself that money stress now means less money stress later *nods*

oh and i have loads of cricket icons now :P but i won't be mean and use them on you hehe

[naughtyelf]

I don't comprehend the enjoyment of cricket. It just doesn't make sense to me. It's so much standing around! There's no excitement! And it's so loooooooooooooong.

Anyhoo, as you've seen at CSTS now, no rush :) I'm going to make sure it won't come on this bill, it'll come on the October one which won't need paying til about Nov 1st so any time before then is fine :)

And definitely, less money stress later is a good thing! We've bought the ticket, once we've paid for half the accom we leave it til early next year when we'll spend about £500 on flights, and then all we need is £200 for the other half of the apartment rental and spending money! Easy peasy!

:D

and the hotel for LA of course!

I think I'm just going to ask for money for christmas and my birthday so I can put that towards the flights, and I'm going to have to make Galacticon fairly cheap, expo will be cheap I managed that last time.

Breakout is definitely ruled out now I've decided.

[naughtyelf]

Shame to rule Breakout out so early, I'm having a wait and see attitude to it instead!

The hotel for LA is practically pennies so I'm counting that as spending money :D
