"Money... it's a drag..."

Another Friday, another week of work done. Next week is looking to be a tad less strenuous court-time wise - we have a two-day committal for trial in the County Court booked in, and two magistrates on Thursday. No court for me on the Wednsday, possibly, or maybe just a little - I'm not committal trained and Paula is.

I'm off to have dinner with my mum tonight, and to give her the book I got her for Mother's Day, finally. This is good, because I'm sick of having only my voice inside my head. Although Book Club was another welcome distraction last night.

I spent my $100 birthday money on bills and such. This is sad.

I also checked my bank account today. No trip to Albury tomorrow for me - there's no point. I have enough to cover the bills, should BRM not give me his share (they're already a couple of days overdue), and then forty to tide me over until next Thursday. This is all I have to buy groceries, and such. *sighs* I'm going to have to cut back on stuff. Like phone calls overseas. Like mailing things. Like Midnight Nation. Like movies. Like eating. Thank God I'm eating at mum and dad's tonight.

And to make it worse, I'm sick of my own company right now. I'd love to go somewhere and do something with someone, but I can't afford it.

God I hope that backpay comes through next Thursday like it's supposed to. I have almsot two thousand dollars to pay off on my tickets, and this phone bill has crippled me.

Thanks to thos who emailed me at work - it helped me get through the afternoon.
