Decisions
Whee! Went house-hunting today...So exciting la..I guess its the feeling of independence and "Ooh, I'm getting a house.." kind of feeling. And I can proudly say I did the research and arrangements with the agents (which is not a lot, but still...XP) Now I really need to do a pros&cons list between staying in halls or moving out. The house in Ripstone Gardens is the one I want. Sounds like cemetery right? Its about £72 a week for me, including all the bills and stuff. About the same as what I'm paying now. But I'm thinking that in a house I'll have to do lots of my own cleaning, nobody take care of my mail, etc. But I get added benefits like staying with my friends, more support, nearer to uni, etc. Decisions, decisions, decisions..
And I want a leather jacket. I saw one online that I really like, will go try it this Sat. But its really expensive..I'll literally be working this Christmas for the jacket, if I get it. But then again, its an investment cos I'll be using it almost everyday in uni for 3 years. Or more if I decide to stay here...Should I just settle for a faux leather jacket which is a lot cheaper? I have a feeling if I mention the price difference, you people will go like:"She mad ah?!? " Ok la.. The 100% leather jacket on the right is £140, the 100% polyurethane one on the left (its the wrong colour, supposed to be brown) is £30. OK, help me out then.. Vote in the cbox..
They look almost the same right? I mean the cut is the same, only the fake one looks, well, fake la. I don't know how long the fake one will last. And whether its breathable. I'm still keeping my options open la, cos there's a lot of shops in West Quay (the shopping mall) that I haven't had a look yet. And also I still have this niggling thought about NOT getting a leather jacket, and get a normal wool coat instead. Another list of pros&cons to do. Thing is, wool coats will smell, and they're not showerproof. Rains almost everyday now, so at least the water will slide off the leather jacket. If I work, its ok to buy the real one right?? I'll be earning £180..The jacket is £140. So tempted la...Maybe I should wait until they have sale..Worth it? Not worth it?
