Flogging a Dead Horse

I never knew it’d be so fucking hard to sell a phone! I have spent so long and so much effort trying to sell my 6280. I’d understand if it was a little bit knackered but it’s brand new and still has its box. People don’t know a bargain when they see one! So yeah, if any of you blogo fans want it then you can have it at a knockdown/mate rate.

The reason I’m so annoyed with the situation is because I really wanted to sell all my unwanted stuff and hopefully pay off some of my insane debt. I know it’s bound not to be as bad as some people, but I haven’t really lived an extravagant few years and I am still in 10K debt. Scary prospect to be quite honest.
So yeah, the eGay sale really went rather badly with me only actually making £25 net profit! Hardly the £200 I was expecting. If you see anything on the list you want I’ll sell it for pennies just to stop reminding myself how shit it went.

Apart from the saving of money I have mostly been spending it at about the same rate. Last weekend I went back to Nottingham for the Phildo’s 21st and to see Forest beat Gillingham. If truth be told I was really quite drunk most of the day and I really struggle to remember some parts of it. That’s what drinking from 1pm till 1am does to you. At least I didn’t take all my clothes off (Lambert). I have also been spent a good few quid on my project which I hope to be able to claim back at the end. It’s all coming together now, and it looks like I’ll be ready to do most of the write up over Easter.

Talking of Easter I am back for 3 weeks from this Saturday so make sure all you bitches wanting to dance let me know on the old SMS system. I’m gonna party like its 2003. Yes its going to get ‘sixth form’ messy. I’m mostly looking forward to the raft of 21st b’days that are occurring these next few weeks. We have Paul’s followed by Lydia’s crowned off with mine. Should be good if not a little lethal.

At the moment though, I’m still at uni, all alone in the house since both of my flat mates have gone to Switzerland skiing and snowboarding. Lucky bastards. I’m so jealous since I haven’t got any holidays planned this year. Its £500 saved though. Unfortunately I also have a few bits of coursework due in (earlier today) that I still haven’t done so it’s making me feel a little moody and depressed on top of feeling bored.

Less depressingly i recently found looking at a website called http://speedtest.net/ where you can test how fast your internet connection is. Mine is below and if you could paste your results that would be interesting. Especially if you read from a work connection.

I am also going to start a new trend in my blogs where I state what I’m currently watching TV, film and musically wise. This week it is:

TV: Heroes and Studio 60
Film: None as I didn’t catch Orange Wednesday
Music: Snow Patrol

Till next time
Sam out
