Forestbound & The Snail
There's lots of creative things that I want to do over the summer, but firstly I need to make my new flat feel more like home. I think I work better in a place that's homely, (meaning cluttered!) so I think my current project is to make things for the flat. The walls are so bare here and posters don't seem to really be my thing anymore, so I'm going to think outside the box and make some wall decorations that are a bit unusual. I really like the decor in Nation of Shopkeepers, it's really inspiring.

Pastures New
Don't think I'll be blogging for a while now until I've got internet sorted at my new flat :(
On the other hand I have Beatherder Festival this weekend :)

Stress
I now have three sleeps until I move house :) Apparently I can get on Leeds Uni wifi from my flat, however, I don't know a password.........I will have to investigate. Otherwise I'm going to have to fork out for broadband, which means a phone line (which I'm not sure is there already and will cost me at least £100 to get installed!) after that I can get a pretty good deal on broadband but will have to pay £11 a month for a phone line that I won't use.
I think I need to prioritise what I want, or work out where I'm going to make a sacrifice to pay for all this as I'll have other bills and my rent is now almost double than what I pay now.
Sacrifices:
I think I need to prioritise what I want, or work out where I'm going to make a sacrifice to pay for all this as I'll have other bills and my rent is now almost double than what I pay now.
Sacrifices:
- Quit smoking - definitely
- Cheap drinking at home before nights out
- Nights out without drinking?!?
- Work more hours at work over the summer :(
Cheap ideas:
- See what I can swipe from work for the new flat (cutlery etc)
- Pound shop
- Go to the library for internet
- Buy cheap bulk food (pasta, rice etc)
- No buses/taxis; cycle!!
- Nights in, dinner parties
- Freecycle
I think I'm going to have to cut back dramatically so that I don't have to work more than 15 hours a week during term time.
