Well, I liked the Producers. I had John Barrowman squee, cried with laughter at Will Farrell and generally had a good night out. Very good idea not to take our German housemate, though.

Speaking of, Derya is coming home today. Woot!

I did a bad thing today. I am already spectacularly into my overdraft (must... get... job...) and will be painfully so by the end of the month.

This did not prevent me from, um, getting my tragus pierced. It was an accident!

Well, not of the sort where I fell on a needle and then fell again onto the bar, I have to admit.

Basically, Katie needed to get her tongue bar changed, and in I went. I looked at the price list. I went 'um'. Then I looked again and debated between carrying on with my navel project and getting my tragus done. I've wanted to get it done for an awfully long time, to be fair. And the piercer was very nice - chatted away quite happily to me and let Sarah watch. All I could hear was Katie on the other side going "ARGH! CAN'T WATCH!" sort of thing. It didn't hurt due to the copious amount of freezing stuff he put on it, which I was worried about. My other cartiledge piercing hurt a hell of a lot, but this one did not hurt. In fact, it's sort of throbbing, and I'm aware of it, but it's not too bad right now. It looks really pretty - a tiny little hoop with a different coloured ball to the ring. It's loffley. I would show pictures, but I have no camera, so I cannot.

So. Lucky 11. I still have no money and have to spend a fairly large amount tonight on a train ticket to Leeds. OH WOE FOR ME. Other uni students - is it normal to be this shite with money, and crucially, over £100 into the shiny overdraft? On the bright side, I have savings and, y'know, I WILL GET A JOB IF IT KILLS ME.

In February. Naturally.

In other news, I got a card from my mother today. "Congratulations on your engagement!" This is really sweet, I will admit, but, well, I've been engaged since Christmas Eve and at home for all but three days since then. She must have sent it the day I left. Oh, bless. I think.

Dude, try adding another 0 to that! Although that's mostly because of all the deposits/rent I had to pay over the summer and din't pay back when I failed to get a summer job. But still, I think I was considerably more than that into it this time last year, as were a great many of my friends.

Oh yes, I was £700 in at the end of last semester. After being very good with money for three years.

The ickle sister, on the other hand, managed to hit her £1000 limit on her overdraft at the end of her first year. Her solution was to ask for an extension.

That makes me feel a lot better, actually. My housemates are doing isnanely better than me so I feel like some kind of terrible bum. I am the only one who didn't work through a gap year, though, the only one paying my own tuition fees (two Scots and the German gets her paid for her) and I also think I'm the only one paying my full fees. Which is sort of comforting.

Note to self - WORK SELF INTO GROUND DURING FEBRUARY.

I feel slightly better now. I am determined not to be that far into my overdraft by the end of next semester, though! That would make me cry, I think.

Oh well. Bring on my hardship fund. Having just checked, I am eligible when I hit my overdraft limit.

Was confused by card message, but then I went back to your post 12/24 and now have a clue. Congrats!

Piercing sounds traumatic. Hoping you get pics and can share, tho. :)

I'm over £200 into mine and my dad paid for my accomodation. Most people I know are further into it than I am.

Thank you!

Piercing non-traumatic, other than the sheer terror of "BUT THIS IS NOT THE GUY I USUALLY PAY TO BUT NEEDLES THROUGH MY FLESH!" He seemed professional enough, though, and it really doesn't hurt. We'll see what a night of sleeping on it does, though.

This makes me feel better about the world is general.

Especially since I will be about £200 into by the end of it, oh, this week...

£1,680 into a £1,750 overdraft. Fortunatly, 'tis all in my savings account. Hell, it's interest free, so I might as well have the free money. (Cashflow is bad, but I'm lucky enough to have been v. miserly and have enough savings to not need to use the overdraft. Yet.)

Cost £25, and you should catch up. *nods* Then I have a viable excuse to get MORE.

You are very lucky. My savins are pretty much negligable, and got spent merrily away already. Eeep.

Get your nipples pierced? They're fun!

I think I'm running out of places to get pierced besides my ears, & it seems so expensive to get them pierced.
