when i get a new job or a pay rise
the first month, i always spend the difference on something fun. when i moved jobs from uxbridge back to the city, my salary more than doubled.... that was a great month......

extra - to be honest, most of what i buy is frivolous, so it's hard to distinguish.

days off - holidays, seeing friends, chilling out. next day off will be for alton towers, then barcelona for a hen-do.

new musics - not heard anything new for aaaaaages
