Why?????

I'm bored, sitting in my room, on a saturday night, whilst my friends and most other 18-25 year olds are out having a reasonably good time (I say reasonably, due to the fact that if you could measure it, any night out with me present would be on average 20% better......although the more i post on this the lower that figure may get, possibly even turn into -20%, we shal see)

A little bit about me-
Having grown up down south in England, and enjoyed myself at college a bit too much- i lived the high life working in the enthralling world of customer services and import/exports (not drugs, before anyone thinks anything) - everything was going pretty well, but unfortunately at the time I hadnt put anything by for a rainy day, infact, I got my self some swanky wheels with some money the bank shared with me.....I also neglected to pay the tax man for the 1 year I was a freelance warehouse manager (dont ask, too much too young + a some very unexpected costs)

Basically my head was in bits, although I was pretty happy.....even so i decided to head to fresh pastures in beautiful Spain- at the wrong time (the economy problems hit the area i was in long before the UK) I spent a year doing jobs on and off.....there was nothing normal or decent around. Even so I learnt Spanish to a reasonable level and focused on the future.

Which is when i decided to leave my beloved mother and woody (my dog) and move to cold, rainy yet buzzy Manchester, to study hard and gain a degree in Economics

It was only 5 weeks ago i moved now, but it brings me to the main reason for this blog.....DEBT- as a full time student i am trying to clear the following- £3800 bank loan, £1400 overdraft, £500 Tax, £300 NI, £300 Vodafone, and £500 (so far) to my Mum.

At the moment im living on less than £1 a day, and am taking steps to be debt free in a year.....sooner may be possible, we will see.....im just going to bore the hell out of anyone who wants to follow my progress basically. Something to do when all my friends are out having a good time.
