STAYING IN MOSTLY
Frankly, there's not an awful lot going on in my life at the moment. There are 2 problems as to why that is...
1> I'm totally flat broke
2> The weather is awfully darn freezing cold.
For the aforementioned reasons, I've chosen to mostly stay in and not go out anywhere ever since the year 2013 began. Meaning, I haven't been to go visit the cinema/zoo/art gallery; even though I have brought a yearly pass to go and visit those places.
COLLECTED A NEW DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY YEARLY PASS FROM THE TIMEBANK
I think, it was a couple of days back, on either Thursday/Friday, when I went to go and visit Kingswood House Library; where the Paxton Green Time Bank local volunteering group office is; to go and collect a FREE Dulwich Picture Gallery yearly pass. I was really and truly grateful for that; as I love going to see DWP. I also met a new TimeBank member there, too; though, right now, I seem to have forgotten her name?!
BROUGHT A NEW EPSON WIFI PRINTER/SCANNER/COPIER/FAX MACHINE
Yesterday, I went and brought myself an Epson WF2530 WiFi printer costing around £60.00 from Amazon.co.uk; because I'm already a Prime customer with them; therefore, I didn't have to pay any P&P charges. The printer was working, yesterday; don't really know why it's not working anymore, now, today? Going to have to fix it, somehow or other...??? Anyway, buying that printer dried up all the rest of the funds I had left; so, now, I'm left with absolutely nothing to spend; nor, to pay the bills with; the worry is driving me constantly MAD!
I'M ALSO THINKING OF SIGNING UP ONLINE FOR JOBSEEKERS ALLOWANCE
I went on line sometime last week to make a Job Seekers Allowance application; but, did only partially fill it in; decided to return back there to fill the rest in; but, so far haven't done so; will most probably finish filling in the online application, today.
I'm not too very much looking forwards to the Job Centre sending me out to go and look to find jobs in the utterly freezing cold; but, I guess if that's what's got to be done; then, so be it.
I need to get JSA in order to cut doing having to pay regular bills such as Council Tax/and, also, Benefit repayment fees/Dental fees/undiscounted bus pass/-etc.
MARTIAL ARTS
I was meant to complete doing, at least, 4 more kickboxing lessons at Seymour Place Leisure Centre near Marble Arch; which I'd already gone and paid for; however, the freezing cold weather put me off completely on travelling out so far; together with having to carry around loads of gym bag equipments, which I found to be really heavy and awkward. In order to avoid these problems altogether; I just stopped going there.
If I do decide to continue with studying martial arts; I don't think it will be in that same place; I'll most probably chose to go somewhere a lot closer to home; and, also, that's a hell of a lot less expensive.
COLLEGE
I'm thinking of joining up to go do a college course; but, having no money to go pay for it is what has caused me to completely ignore going down that particular route; otherwise, I would love to be in college full time.
LIBRARY BOOKS TO RETURN
I have library books to return to...
Morley College
Norbury Library
Kingswood House Library
...and, if I can't find them or return them immediately, right away; then, I should at least remember to renew them over the phone; in order to avoid being stuck with loads of unnecessary overdue charges.
STUDYING ONLINE
So far, I've been back to visit both...
http://www.conquermaths.com
http://www.lynda.com
...but, I've not visited...
http://www.universalclass.com
...nor any of the many others I paid to go and study with online! I feel really bad about this...; but, it's just impossible to do absolutely everything together at once; when there are so many other things I wish to do both online/offline...?!
CONCLUSION
So far we're already reached mid-February; and, I haven't been going out nowhere all year, yet. I'm pretty sure though that situation will soon change; and, then, I will be going out there regularly, again, once more; especially, whenever the weather improves. I'd love to go out cycling; but, hate cycling around in the freezing bitter cold.
