A statment on my missing months. So whats the world of me up to.
The last message stated my interest in a ‘Fun’ triathlon – which I took part in, survived and managed to finish 13th out of 32 blokes.
Actual times were: Swim 00:13:15 (inc T1 time) – Bike 00:21:35 – T2 00:02:27 – Run 00:16:03 -Total 00:53:20
So quite happy with that. So in terms of positivity where am I? Still in the same place to be honest, still slowly working towards my goal – managing to save money, whilst tracking my spending – Still wasting bits though.
The one waste, currently between £32 and £40 is the Lottery – since it went up to £2 a draw it’s become more noticable. £16-18 per month was o.k. – but considering I’m not getting any return on my investment then it’s looking likely that’s the next spending cut. Downside is I’ve had the same numbers since the start – and I can remember them – but fortunately as I can’t be bothed with watching the TV show I’m in a position where I should be able to avoid it. I think the only thing keeping the lottery going is idiots like me that kept the same number. I’m sure if they introduced a lucky dip from day one it would’ve been different.
I’ve just paid for the next month, so I’ve got a few weeks to cancel. I’m not knocking the lottery as I’ve won a bit of cash on the way, certainly way less than I put in – it’s just time to quit.
