Okay, so nearing the end of my summer holidays (4 months off.. next year I have to find something interesting to occupy me all this time, srsly), my bank account is at.. £0. Good or bad?

Well, both, seeing as summer was so uneventful and regardless of trying hard to find a job somewhere, I'm still unemployed and have no source of income. So that £0 stands for all that I am useless and unemployed. So bad. But at the same time, it's a good thing. About 2 weeks ago I was in the red by about £60ish after buying my new bag and having to, y'know, survive a little, as in eat, travel, etc. Now it's back up to £0 even after taking spits and spurts of money out of it to survive on, after starting the summer with about £300 left in the account. £300 over 4 months to cover a) living b) convention travel, supplies, etc and c) spending is really not a lot. All I can say is that if I didn't have a student overdraft, I'd be screwed, lol. But even then I've not used it -that- often.

I think I've done pretty well.. even if I failed at getting a job. But I'm still trying! And looking on the bright side, getting one as I go back to uni - more vacancies, flexible times, more organisation.. it'll be a lot more beneficial for me to work during term time rather than worry about not working all summer.

Thoughhhh.. just before I go back to Uni, I've JUST bought another Tokidoki bag this morning, lol >_> so technically my account is around £100 overdrawn at the moment and I'm back in the red, but.. you get what I mean about the last bit, this is a luxury item not living expenses lol.

But anyway - I have £40 towards it already that was in my money box and I'm gonna sell a load of junk to fund it. It's a Foresta Bambinone, and considering I've wanted a Bambinone since I first discovered Tokidoki bags, I'm REALLY happy! It was on Yahoo! Japan and it's sooo cute!! <3 The back side has the two Sasquatches beneath the zipper and the front has Sandy on her swing and should have the little girl Sasquatch on it too~ which are literally the ONLY parts of Foresta I actually like. And even though I had to pay commission charges and extra shipping charges and stuff for Rinkya, it's still cheaper than buying any Foresta bag from eBay that isn't a Denaro, Caramella or Canguro or a horrible Arancia bag lol.
Plus once it arrives, and I get my swanky new DSLR from my Uni loan, it's being my official DSLR bag :D !! One side for the camera to be stored in, and the other for lenses and memory cards n' stuff I might need. Cute AND handy <3 it should fit perfectly. But of course I will use it for other stuff too!

Yeah.. erm.. in short, somehow I'm surviving summer it seems? Hopefully this next term will bring much goodness and inspiration.

Let's go BAMP 2008~09!!
