Her birthday isn't until August, I can't have her go nearly a year without any sort of present.

I bet you scream just like that when you see them Ninja
I might be wrong but isn't your daughter quite young? For thirty quid you should be able to get her something she'll like.
Not been listening as much this year as lost my office job. Not surprised Tether was my number one as I split with my gf in June.
She's four, five next August, but age doesn't really come into it. I should, as her father, be able to provide for her and apart from the £150 a month maintenance I pay to her mother, I can't. I'm terrible with saving money, ironically, as that's exactly what I do with people. I just...urgh.
Use that money to take her somewhere instead. Even if it's really cheap and stupid. Doing something with my dad would've been so much more valuable than a present from him ever could've been. Have a nice day and you'll have got her a memory you can remind her of when she's too old to remember being 4. Fuck things. Nobody ever said "my dad was never around but at least be bought me stuff" but they do say "my dad never had much money but damn did I love spending time with him"
And don't let anyone tell you not to be open and honest here. It works for me, you just have to let people get to know you first, and give them the opportunity to actually offer advice like you have this time.
Much love, buddy <3

Mike, how did it go with the lady last night? Give us a quick rundown buddy.
Oh yeah, I saw this on imgur last night, thought you'd get a kick out of it. It's a little Asian bambino and everything:
That is pretty damn cute like!
I threw my socks on stage. That's what you do right?
What does this mean?
Bobby Womack at number 2. Love it, tune is so damn good!
Haha. You took today off though right?

He's taking a 5 month break to focus on his uni work according to his twitter.
Typically, I woke up yesterday and my throat was absolutely fucked. So sore (it's even worse today)
I considered cancelling, but instead ate 3 packs of Halls over the day to calm the beast & had an amazing time - we just went to a pub in Clapham Junction, then had a walk. Talked about uni, work, GAF, comics, lots about music and families.
She's really sweet, relaxed, funny and cute & I think we're very compatible, so we're going to meet up once the holidays are over, as we're both super-busy over Christmas.
Now, after hours of chatting, then chatting to Musha after, my throat is actually dying & I've got a cold coming on too. This is the price I'm paying. I'm OK with it.

Coldman could've at least said goodbye. Jerkoff!
Awesome Mike, it sounds like you guys got on like a house on fire. Nice dating big man!
LOL 72 minutes total of streaming on Spotify. That was probably when I was told they got rid of that shitty five listens restriction and then went back to forgetting about it again.
Self bans don't help. You can just log off or delete cookies and go back to lurking again.
While my account does date back to my uni days (made it during my gap year) I didn't really post that much during those years so it was never much of a problem.
However just because GAF wasn't a distraction doesn't mean there weren't other sites that I could waste time on. Guess it was a good thing I only got a laptop in my final year so I actually had to pay attention in lectures.

It's literally part of my day-to-day life. My job is to help people take control of their financial situation(s) and get them back on track with any creditors they owe money to.
Howdy y'all. Man, it's been a long week. Wish I could have a lazy weekend but we need to do one last check over of the old house before we hand back the keys. Out on the piss tonight too so it'll be a rough morning.
Ah well, it's christmas soon!
I still haven't sent you my bank details so if you're holding that postage money, chuck it into the xmas fund for your daughter.

^see this is why we all love Dave.
Glad you're getting sorted with the house chief, nearly there brah.
Also, many new members. Jolly good!
Yes, yes I do, but only a quick in-and-out so as to get a melty glisten on the chocolate.
I can't stay in debt to you, though, I owe you money.

As with all dunking, timing is everything.
Eh, we'll worry about that some other time, you have more important things to spend money on at the moment.
I'd recommend getting Stunt Motherfucking City. It's what I'd be buying my daughter if she wasn't still dossing about in the womb.

WHYYYYY COLDMAN!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE US IN OUR HOUR OF NEED!?
Damn, that looks good. If only I hadn't already bought my daughter a chucky doll.
You'll grow to hate things like that, 30 minutes set-up for 5 minutes of cars flying across the room into walls, doors, cats, feet, etc.

BritGAF will soon be overrun by Essex residents.
Welcome fellow Essex people, as long as you hate TOWIE you'll do fine.

This seems like good advice, time with loved ones > shiny stuff.
I'll just add that my three gifts to my girlfriend have a total value of £17 (M&S 3-for-2's ftw), so you can still get nice stuff for cheap.

I love how specific you are here! Heathers is a great film though.

I really like you.
Welcome to you too!
And yeah, I think pretty soon us Essex people will rise up and take over.
If it counts any, my dad is from Essex.
Tesco is doing boxes of Ferrero Rocher for £5 a pop. Looks like Christmas is sorted for the rest of my friends. Nobody dislikes those delicious little treats, unless you've a nut allergy... D:
By the way that suggestion Mikeside had for a day out rather than a present sounds like a really good idea - I remember being young I always enjoyed those, even if I got nothing more than a McDonalds out of it by the end of the day. Maybe Santa's Grotto, if she's not too old for that?

It's inevitable!
Might have to pop to Tesco Express and get some of these bad boys.

These are the chocolates of kings:
They look like little turds, but goddamn they're tasty as fuck.
So smooth and creamy too, just like a good shit.
Co-Operative are doing the 24 pack boxes for a fiver too plus you get 10% off with an NUS card.

Not from Essex, but cannot STAND that programme.
(I do watch Made in Chelsea, though. )
Will Cheese Footballs do instead?
Oh my, they look good. Who sells 'em?

Urgh, I HATE sleeping during the day, which is a nuisance as my sadly older self craves it half the time. That groggy feeling after never does anybody any favours.
I found that if you have an afternoon nap, brushing your teeth or a quick swill of mouthwash really helps alleviate that groggy feeling. Give it a try next time.

So i saw the trailer for the next spiderman film, which made me realise I hadn't seen the first of this new series, The Amazing Spiderman. So I watched it last night.
What they should have called it was The Um-Haha-Yeah-Like-No-Haha Uh-Yeah Awkward Spiderman
The scriptwriter for this thing should be shot.
This fucking scene made me wanna tear my dick of and hurl it at the screen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR_iybLi310
The whole movie has dialogue like this to varying degrees. He's even a-a-awkward during action scenes. I'm simmering with rage.
