Busy and Borked

Yeah I know and so do you. I blew my bandwidth limit. I don’t know how or why, but, and I think I said this last time, I’ve changed spam filtering software and I think the difference between the 2 on an implementation level is that the new one takes the whole spam comment and stores it in a database while the old one used to just ignore it as soon as it recognised it as spam.

In other news, I moved house last weekend, I’ve spent all week getting the house straightened up and we’re having my birthday party/moving in party this Saturday night. If for any reason you’re invited and haven’t got back to you about how to get there, give me a call or an email. By the end of today we should have a new washing machine, working radiators and a spare room. That just leaves my pit (aka office), the TV aerial and the telephone cables to attend to.

I thought my car was giving up the ghost this week but it turns out it was just in desperate need of some oil. It’s been spluttering for a while now and I knew I needed some oil but I didn’t know what type. Finally I found out, bought some oil, put it in last night and it drives fine this morning. Thought I was heading for an expensive fix-up job there. In a shocking discovery yesterday, I realised I have just about exactly the right amount of money to pay all of the bills and buy food for the rest of the month and pretty much nothing else at all. I might not even be able to afford that. Think we might be eating 9 pence beans for the rest of the month. This once again means that unless you’re paying there’s no point in inviting me anywhere 🙁

I remember reading a blog post somewhere, I don’t know where exactly, where the writer moaned about people droning on about the miniutae of their miserable lives and I agreed with him, now here I am writing one of those posts.
