Okay I'm having somewhat of a dilemma.
Nothing too life changing but here's the situation....
My friend has told me he can get his hands on a ticket for me for Reading Festival, for face value. I'd love to go. I mean, I wrote it off as something I just couldn't go to when the tickets went on sale and tried not to weep as I read the lineup. But now I could, if I make some sacrifices, possibly...
BUT...
I am currently working towards getting myself out of one of my overdrafts, the one that I get charged for.... and then working on saving up for a trip I want to make on the not too distant future.
Now... as of today, being my weekly pay day, I am about 2-3 weeks away from being of out my overdraft and rid of one negative number for a while!!. And then everything I earn after that can go towards my trip/repaying my parents.
If I go to Reading.. the ticket is pretty much what I got paid today. That's one week backwards I go. And I'd be guaranteed to spend, at a minimum, 100 while I was there for the weekend, AND would miss out on 3 days work, maybe, depending on how the rota has been done. Up til now I've had most weekends off, bar big race weekends. So that bit may not be such a big factor.
Sleep, who needs it right?
Sooooo.... that would push me back further, maybe 4-5 weeks til I'm out of my overdraft.
End of Septemberish?
Which is also when events and things start widning down at the circuit, so less work....
This would push the trip back further. And I still don't really know when it best to arrange that for.
I have been toying with the idea of it being over new years.
This is upsetting meeeeeeee.
Because I REALLY want to go, and the more I look at the lineup, the more I torment myself. But also... I want this trip to happen soon.
I just don't know what to dooooo
I hate it!
In other news....
This song just came on and made me smile for a while
Well done to all the new sets going up recently. I can still keep my fingers crossed mine will, right?
If anything.... The money would be kinda helpful
Ohhhh I shouldn't go to Reading.
I know I shouldn't.
My 15 year old self is still sulking about the Blink-182 gig that got postponed 3 times and then cancelled. Damn this line up!

I'm completely self gratifying when it comes to money and stuff I want to do. However, the first question I ask myself when presented with a dilemma such as yours, is "How badly do I NEED to do this?" I have a hard time defining "need" and "want" in my world. Anyway, all I mean is, have you worked hard and not played at all recently? Perhaps this mini vacation is what you need. Especially if someone is dropping a ticket in your lap when you REALLY wanted to go originally, I feel like Fate is saying you should go. Plus I'm of the opinion that EVERYONE needs a mini vacation as often as possible.
