Firstly, thanks to everyone who commented on my first post. Geez, eveyone around here's so friendly! And I am sorry I couldn't get round to answering sooner.

The thing is, illness caught me up. All week I've been coughing, sneezing and on Monday, I went completely deaf in my right ear.

Now, my family has a history of ear-related problems, and I'm terrified of going deaf, so I promptly signed out of work, went home and medicated myself up.

The thing is, the job I have now is only Temp work, so any ill days I don't get paid. I had to have two and a half days off, and although I know I really, really HAD to... it just feels like a complete waste.

Lame week. Next week will be better! *positive outlook*

Just a quick post to say hi to everyone.

Hello, I'm Finch! I've decided to bite the bullet and start a blog, mostly to keep me on the straight and narrow with my finances.

I'm actually surprised that there are so few young people into personal finance, especially on the internet. Anyone else notice this?
