Shop Update: Headbands Galore!

Here are the 2 most recent additions to my shop, listed yesterday and today. Hope you like them!

I've personally find these headbands to be very useful, especially after a recent and quite tragic bang-cutting accident. I also like them because they keep your ears nice and toasty on cold days :)

"WHY ME?" Money Horror Stories

With today's economy, many of us have money woes. Hopefully after reading these money horror stories, you'll feel a little better about what's in your pocket.


  Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it.

Today, I lost my wallet with 300 dollars in it as I was going to run some errands throughout the day. Later on, it managed to find its way back to my mailbox, emptied to the last penny with a note saying, "Don't worry I rewarded myself."


Today, I found out the electric bill I have been paying was on my old house. I found this out when they shut off the power to my house. 

Today, my mum decided to teach me a lesson about carelessly leaving my wallet about. She left it on the floor so our puppy could use it and its contents as a chew toy. I was almost impressed to discover that he can eat three £20 notes and still have room for debit cards. FML

Today, my bank card got declined. There should have been $1200 on it, so I went to the bank to check my balance. It was $14. I called the cops, and it turns out my boyfriend has been making $100 withdraws and purchases everyday for the past three weeks. He wasn't going to tell me.

Today, my roommate and me got charge $100 for having a cat in our apartment. I was only babysitting the cat so my neighbors wouldn't get caught and fined. We got caught because my roommate reported the people downstairs for having a dog so they reported that someone else in the building had a cat. 



Today, after five months of not working, I have a check waiting for me at the office. Too bad the office is in another city. My gas tank is empty, and I have no money to put gas in my car.


Today, I applied and was accepted for a part-time network engineering position. Being contract work they asked me what I charge. I replied, "$12 an hour." After a look of surprise they accepted me for the position and said, "Our last guy charged $200 an hour, you're a bargain." 



Today, I had to file for bankruptcy because my ex-wife didn't want to pay for the house she didn't want me to have in the divorce, and didn't bother to have my name removed from the loan before she filed bankruptcy herself.


Today, I received notice that I had not been paying my bills and had an outstanding debt of $2074. Apparently, my 7 year old son has been taking my mail and playing "mailman" for the past 3 months. 

Today, I found out my broker invested my $6000 in the wrong stock. How did I find out? He called me to let me know the stock crashed.


Today, I finally removed my car insurance after realizing it costs too much money. Since I then had more money, I went to celebrate with ice cream. On the way, I got hit by a truck.


Today, my car got a wheel lock because I had 5 tickets. Three of those tickets dated back to 2006. I got my car and license in 2008.


Today, I found out that I owe the IRS money due to my previous job not taking enough taxes out. I am broke, unemployed, and was counting on a big refund so I could pay for my divorce.

Meet Blaze

Meow. Hello, my name is Blaze, and I'm Tyler Handmade's first guest blogger. Let me tell you a bit about myself.


I'm very interesting, if I do say so myself. I enjoy several hobbies such as

Bird Watching

Climbing

Exploring

Reading

Tree climbing

and board game playing.

I'm also in a complicated relationship with someone named Kitty. She's a fictional character, so that makes things a little complicated.

If you'd like to be my friend, you can send me a request on Facebook.

Meow.
