Forgetful me!

I will be honest with you; I am a forgetful slob who forgets things from time to time. I keep forgetting the names of fellow students; forget many daily activities such as cleaning or grocery shopping. I even forget to pay my utility bills as well as student loan installments on time.

The situations often turn out to be quite funny. Last year, I prepared for some other test and sat to take the test on a different subject. Once, I mustered the courage to ask my friends over. I cleaned for the whole day (my place is usually a mess consisting of mismatched container and lids, a half-eaten packet of crisps under the couch, and grubby upholsteries.) and when my guest arrived I remembered I have not shopped for food to entertain them. Huh? It seems that someone made me drink a rather strong forgetfulness potion at a very early age and I am suffering ever since.

Situations have gone awry when I forgot paying my utility bills. Ok, I cannot entirely blame my forgetfulness in this situation. I had to pay my student's loan first and after paying the loan installment I had barely enough money to buy food. A few days later when I got the money, I completely forgot about paying the utility bills and landed myself in a bad situation.

A similar thing happened with my telephone and broadband connection when I was a few days late on a payment. What can I say; paying every bill on time has become tough with a student loan installment to pay for. Thankfully, I have worked out a way to lower my broadband bills and interestingly enough, I got to know about it while answering a survey call.

The survey call was made by Verso Group, one of the well-known names in the lead generation survey industry. At first, I was dubious about participating in the survey. But I did participate and answered each of their questions. After taking part in the survey I got a call from one of their partners offering me a letter landline and broadband connection that was not only better than the one I was using but cheaper too. I did not need anyone telling me it was a great offer that will help me save a lot of money that can help me pay off my students' loan on time. Therefore, I switched my provider.

Now I enjoy a far better telephone and broadband service without burning a hole in my pocket. Though when it comes to bill payment, I tend to go to my previous provider's website first and then realize I have a different provider now and correct my mistake.
