Kitchen Disasters And Other Screw-Ups

10:59pm: OK, that's a little dramatic, but there was a fuck up this morning when I went to boil an egg and accidentally pressed the wrong button and turned on the wrong hotplate. Unfortunately for me I'd left the plastic banana carrier box I bought last week (to keep my banana from getting all squished and bruised should I take one to work) on that very plate. What really sucks is as I pressed the button I thought to myself that it was the wrong one, but I convinced myself it wasn't.

Then I didn't noticed what had happened until I heard sizzling looked up and saw my poor banana holder starting to melt! Well, suffice to say I got across to the stove top and picked it up quick smart. Sadly though there's a huge hole in the holder now, boo. I've decided not to throw it out thought because it still opens and closed, plus I'm having money issues.

Yes! Despite my extra work days this month, I couldn't afford to pay my levies before the due date, which was yesterday, what a fuck up. I have been spending a bit, but I didn't think it was that much. :O( I did discover part of the issue today when I was going over my budget to see what happened, basically the gas metre people couldn't access my apartment (because they want you to hang around all day to let them in like you don't have a job) so the gas company estimated my usage based on what comparable single person residences use. And I don't know what those people are doing, but their bills are almost twice as high as mine! What a rip off! Now I called the Gas company who will adjust my bill once I submit my metre reading, but still. :O(

I've also discovered that contrary to my belief I don't think I'm actually saving money by keeping my old style Foxtel...looking on the website, it seems that for a one off $75 fee I could upgrade to the Foxtel IQ box. Hmpf when did this happen? I may have to investigate that further once I get my budget situation under control.

And no more big purchases! Although I did wear my new black and white peplum top and a black skirt to work today, I looked most corporate indeed and my co-workers commented on it. Embolded by this I'm going to wear the sailor suit inspired dress - hopefully it won't be too cool, it was warm today, but yeah...

Still, it'll be a relief when the tablet keyboard arrives, it's not impossible to type on the screen, of course, but I don't think I'm getting the best of my Writer's Group that way! Although I think I got about 200 words done tonight, unfortunately for me I didn't plug my tablet in properly to charge it so it ran really low and I had to leave. Also that time o' the month has finally showed up and I was rather uncomfortable, so I wasn't there as long as I usually would have been.

Now, I should be off to bed, because sleep is needed, so in closing, remember to keep your stove top clear of plastic at all times!

Goodnight all!
