I like biscuits. I know it’s a strange way to start a post but it’s a fact. I really really love Bourbon Cream Biscuits. I am yearning for a sweet treat and at the moment I don’t have any! I have a feeling that I should be going out to get some but seeing as we don’t have any money (I have -£5.25 in my account, Monkey is over his £3000 overdraft and the joint account has less than 35p in it!) The money thing is worrying me a lot at the moment. I work hard (sometimes), I don’t drink or do drugs – so where the hell is all my money going. I know that as a couple we could spend a lot less on eating out, which the last time that we checked was running at about £350 per month ($685 US or $704 CAN) which by any stretch of the imagination is a hefty amount to be spending.
So what are we planning to do: Well as I may have touched on over the last few posts; we are looking to move house. I love this place but we have found cheaper places elsewhere (make that a saving of around £200 per month) plus cutting out all the eating out (£350) and changing the places where we shop (£150) we will be saving over £700 per month. This is where it get interesting and new. In August we are planning to move – away from Brighton and start a new life as vagabonds. I even have the red spotted hanky to be able to do this. I would like to point out that before you get your hearts set on me appearing in ‘Hobo Wrestling Vol4’ we are planning to move to Bristol. Neither of us have the faintest reason as to why we are moving to Bristol. I think it could do with the fact that it’s a lot like Brighton was about 10 years ago – going up. The house prices are relatively good and renting is going to be loads cheaper than in Brighton.
So as soon as we have finalised and made the plans to move I shall let you know!

Bristol! My bro went to uni there and I’ve been once, it looked nice enough – I will miss you!
Oh yeah, I live in Canada, but still, all our memories are ‘dahn sauth’. I say good luck to you both and I wish you every happiness in all that you do x

I love the fact that you freely admit to having no clue why you chose Bristol! Good luck with the house hunting and with saving the pennies, although do still treat yourselves to a meal out once or twice a month, you could turn it into a proper ‘date night’, all special-like.
Also, how nice are you, thanks so much for your advice on my blog, I really appreciate the help as I’ve never done anything like this before and am probably in way over my head, eek!
