Waiting for a Star to Fall….

Lets set the scene, It was late last friday. The music was pumping, The drink was flowing, The crowds were screaming and me and my mate P Diddy were just arriving and we partied late into the night… Sounds cool huh? If only it was true! What actually happened was that My bus was held up from stopping at its stop because he was arriving in his flash car with his HUGE minders at a club called “Paper” on regent Street, (which is right outside the bus stop).. Well I got to see him at least, which is something I suppose. Not extactly what you xpect to see when at work.

But I guess I should get used to mingling with the stars seeing as i’m almost famous now. I’ve been on the main AOL chat page and even the AOL Welcome Screen/Home page just because of my expert, almost angel-Like singing 😀 My Agent (Dreamy) is bashing out a contract as we speak.

For anybody that’s interested here’s a sneek preview of the Oxford Street/Regent Street christmas lights being tested last night, that are being switched on this coming Thursday

New Song

Have a listen to this song, See what you think (and make sure you comment!).. I’m obsessed with it at the moment… I also seem to be addicted to Strictly Come Dancing, I’m sure it’s punishment for something I did in a previous lifeÂ

Update Time

Well it’s been a few weeks since my IVA started so thought I better update on whats been going on with it.

As I posted a while back, It was accepted by my Creditor’s by a very very small margin, Something like 0.15% so it really was touch and go that it happened at all.  The various creditors requested some rules be added to the agreement most were standard things that get added to them all like no credit to be applied for during the 5 years, (Like i’d want to have another Credit Card!).  It has also been requested that I stop payments into my pension, which doesnt bother me too much as I had been overpaying into it for a few years so hopefully it will balance itself all out after the gap of deposits.

I’m slowly getting used to budgeting my money, It does feel very alien not to have a credit card in my wallet to just bung the petrol on etc.  But it does also feel a bit weird having money left at the end of the week, That’s going to take some getting used to… Not too long I hope lol.

I’ve also come to the conclusion that I’m no good at using savings accounts, As soon as theirs a decent amount in there i’m clicking away and having it transferred into my Current account to spend spend spend.  Instead I have found something called a Terrimundi, A Terrimundi is a little urn-shaped piece of pottery with a small slit in it to fit coins.  The enclosed card says that tradition states that you should make a wish as you insert your first coin, and then you must “feed” it coins until it’s full, When you have to smash it open to get at the money inside.  This is my kind of saving as I can’t get to the money.  I know that i’m not earning any interest on what’s inside, But Feeling it getting heavier keeps me motivated.  I have one that i’m filling with only £2 coins, and it should hold around £800 😀

I also got myself another one arrive today to fill with just general silver but things haven’t gone according to plan,  I opened the package and found…

 

 

 Thats right it arrived all smashed.  Not sure if the ebayer I got it from will send a replacement, Have to wait and see. :/


What do you think?

'Bout time for an update

##OLD AOL BLOG POST## 

Well it’s been two weeks since I started my new job.The first week was the usual Form filling, being shown round the place and being introduced to loads of people who’s names you forget within 5 minutes.The second week was spent completing a NVQ specially created by Transport for London for Bus drivers.  The whole thing was a bit of a farce as we were given the answers lol.Then it was on to playing buses, by messing about with Ticket Machines and Band III radios and a bit of learning the routes for a couple of days.

And finally, yesterday I drove a bus in service on my own.. AND MY, WAS IT SCARY!!
Driving a bus in an area you don’t know is very weird and can cause allsorts of problems if you take a wrong turn.
Also it was far far busier than I would imagine it would be, with passengers and traffic.

When I was in Aylesbury a crowd was 3 old dears, Yesterday I picked up 94 people at once from 1 stop.. and being in a traffic jam at 9pm was also a new experience lol.

Just thinking what else has happened….. Oh yes, I had my IVA Meeting a week last tuesday and it was all accepted so no more nasty letters in the post and I can get on with my life once more.

Oh and I got a Tax rebate in my first pay packet so There’s nothing but good in the world at the moment 😀

I found this on YouTube the other day and think its very good and wish I could work out how they did it, what do you think?

Oh and for all you Food fans out there, I had Pizza for Tea.  


Banking…

##OLD AOL BLOG POST## 

Well I went to a different Branch of Yorkshire Bank today to get this account open and the experience was a whole lot better 🙂 ….But it was short lived! lol

I’ve got the account open and all the details, Just rung their call centre to register for Phone/Internet Banking (As theres no branch nearby to pop in to) and been told it will be TWO WEEKS before I can register as thats how long it takes to “Update the System” GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I am wondering if I should just give up with them and Try to Live with this Electron Card Thing :/
