Amazon have all four seasons of Futurama for £40. I've been saying for months that I need to buy me some Futurama.
Note to self: You are saving for Very Important Trip. Just because you got a call offering you a week's worth of work for next week at £7 an hour doesn't mean you can go nuts. Srsly.
(Forty-frickin-pound. I was going to spend more than that on shoes last week. And didn't. Does that technically mean I owe myself £40? Disregarding that I never bought my DCs and will need to if I get a retail job that wants me to be on my feet all day.)
Wait! I'll let random chance decide for me; I'll get my tin of pennies and silver changed into actual money and if it's more than £10, I'll buy it. Hah. Out of my hands. :)
Dude, I'm never going to get to Australia at this rate. Goddammit, there should be less sales. Though I need to be sane when I get to Oz and DVDs are the best way of staying sane. Really. Proven fact. Ish.

And WTF was with Robin? It was almost like "Ok, she's in ground now, back to England lads, got a job to do."
That's an insanely good offer!
Date: 2008-01-07 11:21 pm (UTC)The trip sounds cool - any ideas where exactly, or when?
Re: That's an insanely good offer!
Date: 2008-01-10 07:46 pm (UTC)The veryveryvery sketchy plan right now is to try to get out to Oz for mid-August, spend six or seven weeks there travelling around and then move on to do New Zealand over October-November. However, this depends on me saving up enough money in the next six months and finding people to cajole/bribe/beg to go with me. Speaking of which, how much spare money and time will you have around say, August...? :)

Date: 2008-01-10 09:58 pm (UTC)That trip sounds very very cool - will you be taking all your money with you, or working your way round? Unfortunately, I'm gettin back from my trip around america in June - I may not have saved any money up by the time August rolls around!
Re: That's an insanely good offer!
Date: 2008-01-10 11:04 pm (UTC)The plan is to have enough money that I won't have to work but that may end up with me delaying the whole trip. If I put it off 'til 2009, I'll let you know. :) America! Am green with envy. *wistful*

Date: 2008-01-11 12:33 am (UTC)http://www.trekamerica.com/tours/tl.html <-- this is what I'm doing, me and a couple of Uni peeps. Very cool and very expensive, which explains why I've been broke since I left Uni! Yes, def keep me updated, who knows if I'll fancy a break by then - as if full time work is now my life, I do not approve! You need to get that werewolf/vampire story written, that'd pay your way through Oz!
