I think many of us have had this feeling at one point and maybe some have felt it even several times. You know when you have been out partying a weekend, and you have been having loads of fun ordering fancy drinks, laughing and dancing with your friends till the early morning and meting new faces to talk to by the bar waiting for the next order of drinks you just made. You had so much fun and been too tipsy to worry about the next morning after. But then comes the times when we have managed to get ourselves out of the bed the morning after. The moment when we are feeling alive enough to even start thinking about maybe perhaps it is time to check the bank balance and what we spent being out clubbing.

I know I have had a few times that this has taken several hours and sometimes days before I was brave enough to start that process. And many times when I have logged on I have thought to myself before I got that far that I thought I had it all counted out in my head what I used last night and what should be left on my account. But only to log on and find out that holy shit its 3 weeks till next payday and I`m broke. I can try to start thinking that my account had been hacked but that is just a wish for a miracle. Becaues YES! That is what we have managed to waste being out, and that hard truth gets smacked in your face brutally the moment we logged on to our bank..

I went out on Friday with my friend as I wrote about that in an earlier post. But since I am travelling to England tomorrow I knew I had to be careful, so checking my bank account wasn`t something I dared to do yesterday morning while my world was still spinning from the fun night out with my friend Alf. But today I had too. So after watching the whole Hobbit trilogy, half of The Fellowship of The Ring, made breakfast, burned my soup for lunch and done the dishes I felt brave enough to start checking if I even had anything left to get to the airport with the train. Which would be like 3 pounds haha.

The worst thing I can do is to start thinking upfront what I think I have spent and what I expect is going to be on my account the next time I log on. Because it is in those moments where I have been too certain about what I had is when I nearly have had a heart attack seeing my balance is more close to ZERO NADA than anything else.

But luckily this time I hadn`t spent much really, and I was still over 1200 pounds. So phew! I did good this time. But I see so many bring this up on Facebook every now and then, thought I`d give some support for those waking up this lovely Sunday morning to know that you are not alone lol and common you can do it: Check your bank accounts haha

Do you think checking your bank balance after a night out on the town is the scariest thing ever, or is it just me? 😛

Have a nice Sunday and good luck to you who was out yesterday and will find yourselves in my position very soon. hahaha.. It was so much easier in the old days before credit cards and people went out with cash in their pockets. If you didn`t get mugged you least saw what was going on and how little you had left to spend. Now that plastic has taken over we don`t have the total in front of us and who keeps track of it when the drinks take control and our mathematics skills starts sucking.
