Making do…

A momentous event happens next week. I’m able to fill in my timesheets for the month and set the payment process into action. Now, when I actually get paid (my first full uk payment in over a year) is somewhat unclear. It may be 2 weeks later (fine), 1 month later (little disaster) or even later (apocalypse). Anyway, the money I’ll receive (this time, and in the coming months) won’t make any difference to my lifestyle – I owe so much in different quarters that it will all disappear immediately. But, no complaints here – I’m fairly healthy, have plenty of books to read, and regular access to the internet. At some stage I’ll need to buy some shoes and have my teeth looked at. At least I don’t have any expensive habits – running a car, going to the cinema, eating out etc are all verboten. It would be nice to attend a football match for the first time in 10 years or go to a concert or show however – this will be the target for the New Year.
