October Update

It’s the end of the month so that means that it’s time for the monthly update.

Uni
Finally somebody has seen sense and upheld my appeal to resit my exam so in January I’ll be resitting my finals paper in a last ditch attempt to complete my training and become a fully qualified nurse. Apparently the other excuse is that I only failed so that I could graduate with my dad next year (when he will graduate with his masters that he’s spent the last…few years working on).

Other news
So not much else has been happening this month. Seen Nerina Pallot earlier in the month (see this post for further details) and in short, well worth the money. And already there’s rumours that she’s touring in May next year, visiting places that she didn’t this time. Hope that it’s true! Also on the music front, I still don’t know whether or not to go and see the New Beautiful South at the end of November...

I’ve also finally managed to unburden myself from my previous car insurer. Actually, I didn’t have much choice. See I couldn’t actually afford to manage the car on my own any longer, so against my better judgement, I’ve had to add my brother to my insurance and now…well now I never see the car! Next week won’t be so bad because my parents are away and that means my mum’s car is being left behind and seeing as I’m on her policy…well at least it won’t rust away next month. I just hope that my brother remembers what petrol is…

My pet complaint this month though has got to be eBay. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that it the place to be to pick up a bargain. But last week, I was trying to understand why my listings weren’t automatically re-listing like their supposed. It turns out that now, selling any media (e.g. CD, DVD etc) that you need to offer FREE POSTAGE! Now the last time I looked, you had to actually pay to post something…So it’s been really frustrating having to go throw all the listings and update them all (although admittedly, it basically a copy and paste job for most of them into the new layout). We’ll see how long this lasts before I jump ship and find somewhere else to list. Got a few alternatives lined up already…

Christmas is only something like 8 weeks away but I’ve already got myself covered. As of November 2^nd 2009, I will have officially bought all my presents for Christmas 2009. So no daft dashing around shops in December looking for presents (yes all my shopping has been done via the internet so I guess Visa has been very happy). The other reason that I’ve had to do it so that I can work out my finances seeing as I have a couple of imports coming at the end of November so need to make sure that there are plenty of pennies available to pay for that. Although now I’ve heard the previews for one of the albums coming, I’m not so sure now…then again, that’s why we have iTunes

Well that’s all for now. Off to try out Wii Fit Plus now
