Phil is an idiot.
August is never a good month financially for me: AA plus insurance & service on Liz's car. I've been eyeing the car insurance for a while as it's never a fixed number until it's quite close to being paid. When we got the renewal notice I warned Liz we were about a ton down on where I needed to be to cover it. So she got the money out this morning. Then I checked my bank statements for last year and couldn't find when the money came out. So I checked Liz's ...... and realised it had come out of her account all along. D'oh.

Last day of hols so had a very long lie in. Still feel a bit jiggered from the weekend! About to brave public transport to retrieve my Generations book from the sorting office then it's the new Planet of the Apes film this evening.

Back at work this morning. Still waiting for my brain to get caught up with me and arrive in the office.
I can forsee me turning in fairly early this evening as I think an afternoon of work is going to well and truly fry my brain.

Oh it was a struggle getting round Swindon today. Legs aren't going well since the weekend and I had another fall on the bus today. I did find this though: |

Had the sniffles on Sunday/Monday but I seem to be okay now.
Paid in the Toy-fu money this afternoon. Factoring in costs and expenditures, we made £6207.90, which means I owe Mary's Meals £1207.90. Less than last year, but we haven't heard back about the AA charity hauls yet and Fortress Maximus has yet to be sacrificed to eBay, which will happen once everybody gets paid at the end of the month. It's looking good!

Good grief, that new Planet of the Apes film bored me shitless. I honestly can't see what the fuss is about. A different approach is fine and all, but how did it turn out so dull?

Went to work. Was useless. Got paid. Replaced money used from savings to pay for AA. Made October comics order. Now follows a month of being extremely frugal but, hey, got loads of new stuff to keep me occupied so not complaining!
I had also forgotten that I had already booked a long weekend off in a couple of weeks. Hurray. Still got 4 Annual Leave days that need to be used up by the end of September. Hmmm.

Second day back at work this week. Hectic but quite productive. Weighing up a cinema trip for this weekend - was swithering between Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Cowboys and Aliens. Leaning towards the latter at the moment.
Planning a fairly frugal week next week as I don't get paid until the end of it, but do have a day off booked for Wednesday and am planning to treat myself for my getting older day. Might head off and see Conan on opening day or somesuch.

I have been triple tea-bagged.
My 3-pronged post-work treat has failed. The sausage supper was not nice (very unusual for the local chippy of joy), cherry coke was flat (WTF?!), chocolate Croissants were hard (supposed to be fresh).
I have, however, rather unexpectedly found a bottle of vodka in the cupboard that I have absolutely no recollection of buying.
