Camera to a good home
So there is 153 days left before I go or less than 5 months if you prefer, my original draft of this says 186 days to go, which says 1) I am lazy about posting on my blog and 2) shows how much faster time is going now.
There is still so much to do and decide although the plans are looking much better now, much more concrete its much more about finalizing how much time we shall spend in each place after Hong Kong, and also how we shall get around etc.
I am much more aware and worried more than ever about the fiances of this trip now, as Andy made me do what I have (will most likely continue to try and do) been trying desperately to avoid, which is look over my savings. I am very good with the whole picture but I am horribly rubbish about little details, such as where is all this money coming from.... As I already knew Andy has alot more money than me, although I have been trying hard to save, I have been overspending on "FUN" which now seems to be a swearword until we depart Britain. I now have the grand sum of £5 to spend on "fun" a month.
The problem for me is I still have my student overdraft, which needs to be paid off, and It looks like I will have to sell my beloved Canon camera to pay for it. I had been worried about taking it with me as it is worth abit, and its also incredible big and heavy for carrying around with me. But it does make me sad to sell it, as I want someone to love it as much as I do, which is stupid and sentimental, but its how I feel! Saying that though I'm now starting to think about what camera I will buy to replace it as I will need something fairly good but light, and if anyone has any ideas please comment! I like the look of the Olympus Pen, but I haven't really been looking all that much.
We should be booking the rest of our trip around the 25th which is amazing! I really can't wait now, although there is still so much to sort out!

Changes
Its been busy since I last posted! Went to Leeds to see Andy for his housewarming party at his new (very swish) Leeds city centre apartment. We had a lovely time both out on a night out and the next day, where we went to a Damien Hirst exhibition, curry festival and Tea out. Was very exciting. Really enjoyed Hirst's Superstition and Buttery Painting's.
This past week I've also started a new job as a support worker and also got a new HTC phone joining the 21st century at last in technology standards, although Andy does find it amusing that I am so paranoid that google wants to track my position at all times, but at the same time, why should I let some company decide what it does with my personal information. Same with Facebook really, as I have been giving some thought to deleting my account....
But back to the business of travel. We are no further along with the planning, apart from the date for buying out plane tickets has been put back to late January due to money constraints, but I feel we still should plan trip before Christmas even if we do not book until afterwards. And on the plus side, we now have 1 year to go.... How truly exciting.
