Monthly Update: November 2023

I don't know what happened this month... Games were added to the backlog. Woops!

Been a month of highs and lows finance wise - had an uninsured driver crash into me, so I was looking at a $2500 bill to fix my car.. Currently ordering the parts and will hopefully be able to fix it with dad. 😬 So I'm maybe looking at $500-1000 to repair and paint my car myself. The original quote didn't include paint....

Good news is I managed to win a $1000 voucher to an online furniture/other goods kind of store!
One of those refer a friend competitions that I entered, and nearly didn't get because it went to my spam 😅
Biggest win ever!
I ended up ordering a bedhead, rug, bedsheet set and some measuring spoons... (one is not like the others haha). I also ordered a bedframe from Amazon.. may as well do the whole room.

I am now spending a lot of time cleaning out under my bed which has been my dumping ground for tech and other assorted stuff..

I haven't really spent much time playing games this month - making up for late August to October where I was playing a LOT. Mostly multiplayer games this month.
Lethal Company is hilarious with friends.

A car crash??? Are you ok??? I hope it wasn’t some terrifying place to get hit, like on the highway. I’m glad you’re mostly ok - wdym fix yourself? I hope you took pictures and make a claim with your insurance company - one for injury as well!
Congrats on the furniture voucher and a productive November!

Yes I’m ok! It was on a busy road where most people were going slow so it was alright luckily. They tried to merge into my lane from a side street on the other side of the street, across double lines (so not allowed to cross there…).

I tried to claim on insurance, but because I don’t have comprehensive (my car is a bomb!) they will only follow up on an at fault driver that they can prove, they gave me the line that I need to get them to admit fault lol. The driver was unlicensed driving their parents car… lots of issues there. I tried to make a statement to police a couple days later when insurance wouldn’t follow up, but apparently to make a statement you need to be within 24 hours. So yes, fun times were had 😅

Then there was the issue with trying to get quotes to fix my car - I finally took it to a nearby place, got the quote with the parts they would need to replace then decided I’d order the parts myself after youtubing how to replace them and realizing I could do it myself if needed with the tools dad had…It’s pretty much the front bumper, front right light, and a part of the side panel near the front wheel needs to be hammered in a bit. So if needed, I thought that I could do it myself at least with the tools at parents.
Luckily dad is amazing, and started to fix it this week! So hopefully all will be well there 😂

Thank you! Yes, the voucher I ended up winning turned my month around after that whole disaster! Now I’ve just been doing a full Spring clean(Summer clean now?). Hopefully I’ll have as many jobs done before my 2 weeks off work for the holidays!
