sucker for a deal and just plan stupid

Well this week was about as uneventful as they come. Pretty much just done the usual but thankfully the new season of T.V. is underway so atleast there was something to watch.

Not many people came to look at the flat this week..... about two I believe. Also the flat has started to on the odd occasion cook for each other which is good as it meant at least a couple of times I ate a decent meal rather then just sandwich burgers.

Anyway this week I made a slight mistake that ended up costing me at least $50. I went to pay the power bill over internet banking and accidentally clicked on the wrong pay anyone without realising it until after the payment had gone through. So I rang the bank and they said they could try and reverse it but that it would cost $50 and I should try and just contact the person if I new them. So I rang the company and left a message but since they didn't reply by 2.30pm (I was told to do it before 3pm by the bank) I done it through the bank as I got paranoid and even losing the $50 I would get $140 back. The next day I got a reply saying to send my bank account and they would return the money (from the company I had sent it to). *Sigh* oh well at least I still had enough money to pay the power bill.

Anyway as mentioned in the title I did end up spending quite a bit of money this week. Not only did I buy $100 worth of groceries so that i only had to pay $5 delivery when I ran out of things I needed after $65 but i also 2 games of which one I hadn't wanted at all but it was only $20 down from $80 and at least ended up being alot better then I expected even if it was rather short. The other was of course of steam which often has great deals and I had been relatively interested in getting it in the past so I don't feel that bad about getting that one. And I do have a decent amount of money left over each week now days since I no longer bother to get takeaways as I'm to lazy to walk and get them.

Anyway that's everything for this week so I'll leave it there.

Bye
