Taking a break

This month I really want to take a time out from life - cut out the going out, the drinking, the spending money. The Christmas period killed my finances and basically I may not eat for the last week of the month :) Anyway, that was the plan - a huge big start of the year time out.

Then my brother landed, and of course the first Friday of this month I had to take him out for a night out on the town in London. A few jagermeister shots later and its 3am. We had to get up at 6am to catch a train the next morning. Nice time out Janelle - yeah, a night on the town. Now this weekend, and every weekend for the rest of the month I find myself in this same predicament.

This Saturday is a friend's farewell - she is going back to SA and I don't know when I will see her again, so how can I miss that? The weekend after I have a baby shower - the first for my group of friends - followed by a birthday party. I could miss the birthday - except that she sent me a message and asked me really nicely to come because she really wants me there - how can I say no?

Then it's Australia day - and with all my best friends here and my boyfriend being Australian, there is no way I will be let off the hook for that one. Especially not when one of my friends wore an SA rugby jersey on the night of the world cup final. A traitor some may say. I say she finally chose to support a winning team.

Then a few days later its Linkin Park - yes baby, I am going to see Linkin Park live. I got Dane tickets for Christmas. It should be absolutely awesome :)

I know, I know - what the hell am I doing complaining about going out. Well, for starters I'm skint this month. No moola. Secondly - I'm tired. I just want to sleep. I sound like an old granny, but I worked through the holiday period, and got just as much celebrating and festive eating done as everyone else, but just in less time because they were off and I wasn't. Ek is moeg - I feel drained, work is stressing me out at the moment and I am just generally all round ready for bed.

But it looks like the old sayin 'sleep when you are dead' is coming back to bite me in the arse this month - so, does anyone have some food to give little ol' broke me? :)
