Not much news

Not a lot has changed since the last blog really. I'm now under two weeks away from starting though. I think I have decided (that makes total sense) that I will be remaining at home for the first 5 weeks or so. This is for a few reasons:

1. I will be starting off in Paddington. This is, as I mentioned before, a half an hour trip from my current location in Middlesex but a two and a half hour (or so) trip from where I will be living in Basingstoke.
2. For the first month, I will not have any money. I will not get paid until the first month's salary comes through!
3. Hopefully - I haven't really heard much about the other apprentices moving but hopefully some of them will be doing the same as me and then I can hunker up with them.

So yeah; as far as life in general goes, it's pretty laid back at the moment. Not really doing a lot except from watching Lost & Breaking Bad counting down the days till I start. My money is starting to run thin as well as I will not be getting paid this month because I left my Lifeguarding job in June (my NPLQ (lifeguarding qualification) ran out then). Been getting out occasionally but not as much as I would like too. Sadly, as my money is running out I can't really afford to go out THAT much.

HTC Desire HD

I did, however, buy a new phone. I can't remember if I mentioned it or not but when I was on holiday in Zante, my stuff got stolen on the first night which included my phone. Well, the insurance money had recently come in so I jumped on the chance of getting rid of my temporary phone (LG Cookie) and upgraded to a HTC Desire HD and let me tell you now, I love it! So much faster than my previous phone, HTC Wildfire. I will be going out in the next couple of days to do a shop for some new clothes both for work and "play?" with the remainder of the insurance PLUS I get a £200 clothing allowance from Visa themselves which is good.

Anyway, that's all that is really going on at the moment and will hopefully get another blog up in the next couple of days with some more interesting updates!
