Change of P(l)ace

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!

I may well die here, the long wait, I may be forced to knorr a limb off.; I have been on hold to BT for 35 minuets. At the moment I’m dealing with a partner who is having withdrawal symptoms over the fact that we don’t have an internet connection.

The foolish people over the road who have unsecured wireless internet access have cottoned on to the fact the monkey (being the cheap Northerner that he is) was “nicking” the internet from them. I have to say that as we have just got a 280 quid rebate from the electricity company – woo ho! Sadly this means that “his nibs” want’s me to use this money to get fancy internet access – I would rather by food and pay the gas bill.

There is a moral in this – fuck knows what it is… maybe “never let a Northerner near free internet connection” or possibly “BT are bastards, evil, evil bastards”. I personally like the last one

To keep you all amused I have found an entire episode of my favorite shows – Black Books (it reminds me of Monkey and me – I’d be Manny and Monkey would be Bernard)

Enjoy

Dirty – so very Dirty
