Ooh ooh ooh, also, the relocation lads at work came through in the end for me, and got me a credit card. So I can finally put an end to this ridiculous day-to-day money management and bounced cheques and all that retardedness. It’s going to be close, but I may have enough to pay off… Read more
After Monday & Tuesday nights last week, at the gym, I felt rather sore and crappy for more or less the rest of the week… need to take it a bit easier as I ease back into physical activity, methinks. I went again tonight though, for an hour or so… tried out the rowing machines… Read more
Three weekends ago I went for a ride for the first time in, well, rather a long time. My intention was to head west and see how far I got, which turned out to be work. I’d forgotten how annoying the wind in your face is. The next weekend I made it further, up to… Read more

Tax time… grrr… I won’t bore the rest of the world – or myself – with the details, but the “How do you compare with everyone else?” bit at the end of H&R Block’s TaxCut process is somewhat interesting. I earned more than average (yay!), and made an entire $44 interest last year! Unfortunately, average… Read more
