HMMMMMM
1 - Yes... Ish. My phone has 'water damage', it works perfectly fine but I can't sale it. This means I'll be without a phone for 10 days while they replace it.
2 - 4 hours a day. Approx.
3 - Wages will be going up 50% once I accept a job, approx. I'll be getting 13 months pay this year.
4 - I'd get £200 for my old phone, and I'd have to spend £380 for the new phone. So that is £180 out my pocket... plus I'd get a £250 when I eventually go to sale it. But I would have to initally spend that £380, get £200 for the old phone in about 3 week's time when they replace it, and then I'd get the £250 that I could sale the iPhone for when I upgrade to the '5' model in october.

Plus with my clinical depression, my accidental £20 on just 3 slices of cheese just doesn't quite cut it.

Go on, I'll bite.
How do you accidentally spend £20 on cheese?

You're quite thriftfull*, aren't you? How do you do it?
Don't you ever find you ever get "Fuck it, I'll have what I want, when I want it, right now" ?

* I'm sure this is a possitive word, although I get it might not be. I mean it to mean, being able to stretch your money, rather than being a tight.

I think the word you're looking for is thrifty
and I'm not, particularly. I've just been in montyesque levels of poverty in the past, and had someone pull me out of it, and I've now learned that 'like' and 'want' are two separate things.

Yeah', I really wish I had learnt that lesson.
My attitude is that if I want something, and there is a way of having that something I want, and it doesn't mean I go without something else, then I'll have it. It's a shitty attitude that has gotten me into trouble many times 'cus I don't quite see the "without something else" part until later down the road. Plus I replace social events with things that come in styrophome.

I never have the option of the social events
but I've managed, recently, to dial back on the things taht I used to buy on impulse. And I don't tend to go shopping anywhere near as often as I used to. That generally helps.
