I’m going to be
honest with you; I haven’t a clue what I’m doing when it comes to blogging.
Well that’s sort
of a lie, I know what a blog is, and obviously if you’re reading this I know
how to create a blog. What I mean is that when it comes to actually writing a
blog, I’m a little bit apprehensive, I’m not really sure what to write, or how
witty/funny/sarcastic I should be without coming across as mildly unhinged. So
I’m just going to go with it. Please be patient.
I’m planning on
blogging about the random things that are currently going on in my life, as it’s
pretty crazy at the moment. I’m twenty-one *cue sobs at the loss of my teenage
years* and am three short, and scarily fast months away from graduating uni, don’t ask me
where the last three years of my life have gone as I have not got a clue! Last
time I checked I was a grumpy 18 year old, moaning about coursework. And now, I’m
a grown up, and have to do grown up adult things like get a job, pay taxes,
start thinking about houses, and bills, and insurance, and all sorts of
exciting (terrifying) events like that.
My current grown
up predicament is my car. I LOVE my car, and I mean seriously, totally,
completely love it. Problem is, it eats all my money. And I mean all of it, if
I’m not putting petrol in it, I’m buying oil, or replacing the tires, or
renewing the tax, booking it in for an MOT, fixing a sensor, replacing
lightbulbs (that’s a favourite one, my car seems to go through lightbulbs at
lightning speed) you get the picture. Now all of that is fine, the sort of
thing I expected when I first started driving, but I’m a student. A student
with no money, who somehow managed to schedule my Tax, Mot and insurance all
within 8 weeks of each other. Genius.
Huston, I have a
problem. Car money due date, just so happens to be 30 long days before my
Student loan comes in.
In the spirit of
being honest, I’m being a tiny bit over dramatic, I have a job; I have money,
well for the first two weeks after pay day anyway. So it’s not the end of the
world, BUT I’m going to have start paying my car insurance by, hushed tones
please, direct debit, shocking
I know. Thing is I don’t get paid on a fixed date, meaning I’m going to have to
be a grown up and start making sure that I keep track of when my Insurance will
come out and when I get paid, no more only having to get to pay day, no more
spending like a student. Oh no, I’ve entered the world of adult hood and money
management!
Scary, times my
friends scary times. Now I’ll leave you to your ponderings as I go call my
financial advisor.
Muuuum!
Until my next
crisis,
