My first day in the office during 2007 and it all seems pretty much like 2006 so far, except perhaps, for the faint metallic tang to the air.
This year I have decided (not a resolution) that I shall try to be more health and money conscious. The plan has been implemented by me not buying a Mars Bar this morning. A little later on, I shall contact the bank and grovel; being over my overdraft limit as early as the 4th of the month does not bode well for a January that I knew already would be slow. Where I had planned to use the word quiet, I now intend to insert sepulchral. The upshot is that if anyone has anything interesting going on, which would cost money to involve myself in or with, will not be considered before February.
I foresee greater amounts of cheap, fresh veggies in my diet over the next few weeks and a consequent rise in greenhouse emissions. See how my financial crisis threatens the world? Any unclaimed bundles of tenners you might find will be gratefully received; I’m not proud, I will accept bundles of fivers, too and unclaimed winning lottery tickets1.
I am contemplating the reduction of my vast collection of stuff through the auspices of eBay. I have vaguely toyed with the idea for sometime now, and being skint seems like a reasonable excuse to start culling a whole bunch of stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time but which is now just taking up space – albeit well-packed away space. Time to look up the possibilities, I think.
1Preferably for amounts greater than a tenner unless you are willing to deliver them yourself.
