Too many things!!!!

My oh my, I have a lot to say and not very much time. I need to be in bed in a bit as I’m catching a goddamn early bus & flight again tomorrow (bus at 4am, flight at 6.30), you know, for Athens.

So yeah that’s exciting. I’m all packed and stuff, I bought a fun new carry-on bag, dead cheap and quite big (you know, one of those “just the right size to fit within the carry on specs” ones), with wheels & a long enough handle, and with rucksack straps too! Am well chuffed.

That is not the only thing I bought. I have spent an absolute fortune so far this month – and that’s after originally vowing to save £500! HA! It’s felt sooo good tho – also, some of the money I’ll get back from people I’ve bought for. Like my mum. And Molkoboy and Alisdair.

Ok but let me make a list cuz it’s fun. I’ve actually maxed out my UK credit card for the first time in ages (but that’s also cuz half the mattress was still on there.. that payment will be debited tomorrow thank Goodness).

• er yeah, so a Tempur memory foam mattress. This was delivered a week ago and OMG it is so amazing!!!
• 4 MJ tickets for January.
• car rental for mum trip (she’s coming for Easter you know, and we’re going to Dorset & Somerset)
• 3 different hotels booked for mum trip
• 4 festival tickets for Arras (Placebo and Lily Allen, wheee)
• one hotel for 4 people booked for Placebo in July
• a funky stripey Ikea chaise longue
• Various other small things while at Ikea in Southampton
• Placebo new album limited edition box set

Um yeah I think that’s it, I’m too scared to check my bank statement to find out what else there is… oh I also got a fire emergency kit (fire extinguisher and fire blanket), Rita decided it would be good for all of us to have that after John from the basement flat set fire to his rubbish bin in a drunken stupor. =)) The fire brigade came and everything! This was when I was in Southampton & I’m glad I missed it cuz I think it would’ve freaked me out, the house burning down is one of my big fears.

Right, yeah. I was also gonna harp on excitedly about MJ some more but it’s past my bedtime, so I’ll keep it short. So we have (shite) tickets for the opening night, which is exciting – what’s even more exciting however is that Mon and Jimmy are coming tooooo, and while Mon has faced her fear and flown (what a nice alliteration) they will come visit me in Brighton as well!!! 😀 I will have a Mon in Brighton! :] 😀 😡

The whole thing is all rather fun, there’s all these MJ fans that I haven’t seen in years that will be coming to London, like Michelle & Suha, so I’ll get to see all of them again! 😀 And I’m just generally looking forward to the mania. 😀 Can you tell I’m excited? 😀 I have tickets for January too btw. And another set of January tickets which I’ll probably swap with J for her 26th July tickets, so then I can go again and does anyone wanna come? Cuz Alisdair doesn’t, old bore that he is.

Right, now I really must go, speak to y’all post-Athens and stuff!!
