Hey ya'll! Happy New Year! :)

Well, seems like this year going to be all about shedding an old life and creating one entirely new. I ship out for training on the 22nd. Bit worried about going through the gas chamber.. and then there's what everyone refers to as the "victory tower" I have to conquer.. Indeed, lots to look forward to! I hope everyone has a blessed year!

I knew that 2008 was going to be a life changing not to mention important year as i'll probably find a job.

But now i feel immensely uneasy/nervous/anxiety/uncomfortable about choosing the right job and that really is going to be a concern for me.

I've got a lot on my mind. Got a theory test coming up and i stupidly neglected to get all the exact details. I know its next tuesday around 11ish but apart from that i have no idea. Worrying that ihaven't studied hard enough or something.

Ah what a way to bring in the new year, half passed out with booze, American girls along side and a box of cookies which is keeping everyone else jealous =D

i`m already sick of 2008.
we`re 7 days in and insurance/car rental/new car has caused me to haemorrage money all over the place and been an unneccessary amount of stress.

had to hire a car to get to work, to mega care of it, took it back and they`ve found some microscopic mark on it and used it as an excuse to keep my deposit, so another £200 gone. if i had any idea how it`d happened i wouldn`t mind as much, but it`s been in my drive when not being driven and i never even used the door in question. i`m not convinced i`ve not been had on this one.

them i got an extremely aggressive letter from another insurance company telling me that it`s MY fault that their client crashed into me. my insurance company are putting it through as a non fault claim as i took evasive action which harmed no-one and the only reason they`re involved/my car is written off is because the other dude hit me - not my fault. although the wording on said letter lets itself down at this point: "the reason we are alleging fault is that you failed to apply his brakes in time or at all"
er.... i failed to apply HIS brakes? well it looks like i`m going to have to go ahead and confess all on this one! shocking as it may seem, it seems i have indeed been remiss and at no point did i sieze control of the other car and try to avoid myself. that`s a BAD VM!

SO! on top of all this i needed to buy a new car. apparently "0% finance over 2 years" is a deal that only applies between 1pm and 1.02pm on the 8th tuesday after equinox and only if you`ve approached from the east under cover of dark. they fail to mention this until you`ve signed to agree to buy the car of course. this sounds worse than it was i think, but it still means i`ve got another debt hanging over me for a lot longer than i`d hoped now - hopefully i can save the difference and pay it early, reducing my interest rate and giving me a little bit back.

buying this car and putting it on my insurance cost an extra £30 - even though it runs out next month anyway. cancelling the policy costs £30 for "admin fees" and the renewal quote was a laughable £450. while i`ve found a new policy for half that amount, i can`t buy it yet as until the insurance people sort out what`s happening with my no claims discount, i can`t provide accurate details, which would null my purchase. if they DO take my no claims off then quotes from everywhere go back up to around £500.

and this is just the overall insignificant everyday stuff that`s going on in my world!, elsewhere we`ve already had 3 fatal stabbings and an epidemic of chunder-bug!

1 down, 51 to go.

.. that was a load of words. gis` a gad to cheer me up :D

Learning to draw and improve on my skills from last year.

Finding a decent IT job.
