It's a late night kind of a post.

I'm sitting in our bedroom, Dan happily passed out behind my back and Scrubs in the background. I'm following the conversation on WoW on one eye and wandering on the internet on one eye. Multitasking is so awesome.

I am so desperate for new clothes. Unfortunately I have no money to spend on anything nice, thanks to the Finnish government. Even though I live abroad, have to pay for my lunch every day and spend £185 on a bus ticket every term I only get £180 a month to pay for my rent (rent £150, phone bill £10-20). You can guess that I'm not exactly jumping of joy here. And I only get that amount of money because my parents earned too much two years ago. Yeah, I'm 19 so basically my parents don't have to take care of me in any way but still our government decided, that we are dragging my parents' income into this! Thankfully mum loves me too much and gives me about 200€ a month to survive but that money pretty much goes to feeding myself. Mum promised to contact our government again to try and get me some more money every month, I'll just have to wait for about two weeks to hear from them..

Because I'm so skint every month I've taken up the habit of taking part to absolutely every competition I can find. My weekly pleasure is a Sunday morning crossword in Fabulous magazine, they actually have some nice prizes. Last week's prize was a £500 voucher to Store Twenty One, pretty much my favourite shop atm (mainly because the clothes are so cheap). I've really wanted to redo my whole wardrobe as all I've got is saggy and covering clothes I've bought years ago when I wasn't really confident or didn't think highly of myself. And besides spring is coming, I could do with some change! I'm especially looking for some nice, colourful and girly clothes.

I've been in the process losing weight for about 1½ weeks now. I haven't really realised how fast time has gone, I haven't really slipped yet (although I couldn't resist having my strawberry lollipop I got for filling a survey at college) and I'm sort of excercising more now as well. I'm planning on losing a massive 2st, I'm not in a hurry and I'll be pretty happy if I've lost like a stone before July. I've sort of felt like shit about my own body ever since I turned 13, I was bullied partially because I had a bit of extra weight but I have no self control and all the attempts to lose weight ended after about a week. I'm doing great, ain't I. :D ½ week over my average, win win haha.

My lord I was only supposed to rant about clothes..
