I'm in that horribly unsettled, not settled where I'm living, not settled in the job,

Give them time. I know it's trite, but Rome was not built in a day...

sort of thing. I'm living in a house where getting hot water out of the shower is a daily test,

You don't have to milk it do you? How's it a test?

the landlady is passive aggressive, clearly demonstrated in her ubiquitous use of those cut out words 'Calm' 'Relax' WHILST NOT HAVING AN EFFING LOCK ON THE EFFING BATHROOM DOOR. Irony anyone?

I think it's more she fancies you, rather than irony.

This weekend I go home and paint the bathroom ceiling and see the crazy lodger (rather than the crazy landlady here!) and go to the funeral of my ex-boyfriend. Oh joy!

Hope it goes OK for you.

"Here" being the South?

I think I am just a bit tired of how difficult things sometimes are. You lot get up in the morning and get in the shower and it's hot, I have no such certainty.

Well I don't because I have no shower - but I know what you mean. No hot water = third world.

In terms of the budget I think I will work it out on a daily/weekly basis for the daily costs. At present it looks like;

Food £4.28 daily £30 per week
Petrol for commuting £25 per week
Sport £4.90 p/wk
Newspapers £3.30 p/wk
Entertainment £19 per wk

The daily food is really simple at the moment because I don't want to cook anything at home;
Porridge from MacD's for breakfast 99p
Make sarnies and fruit for lunch £1.50
Shop for something reduced at 7pm £1.70

Don't you wish you were living my life?!!!!

Hey you! :grouphug:

Things will get better. This is just a foundation to your new life. One day you'll look back on this...and then buy a stronger lock for the bathroom door.

It's difficult right now, but changes will occur, and things will be better for you. Just stick with it.

Sorry, will try to be more upbeat for my next posting.

Hey! This is *your* diary, and you can be downbeat/upbeat/Bronski beat all you like. You're not here to entertain, you're not the Turn.

Just remember you have people rooting for you. Yes - even the Bishop...

I may stretch to "mildly naughty" at times...

So long as it raises...a smile...

Here being in a house that looks nice but doesn't have consistant hot water, or a friendly landlady, or a lock on the bathroom, or permission to wear shoes indoors.

Hey you! :grouphug:

I like hot, hot baths, hot showers, hot men! Lukewarm really doesn't do it for me!

I'll avoid being Bronski Beat if you don't mind. I was always a bit more of a Black Sabbath type girl.

p.s. Multiple quotes - haven't quite cracked them!

So start looking around. I know there will be certain notice periods you need to keep in mind, but you need to pump your workmates for information as to where to live, and where to avoid.

Towns whose nickname is "Beruit" may be worth passing over.

Yeah yeah, then summer comes around and the complaints start...

And cold is a definate no no.

The one with /QUOTE needs to be *after* the one with just QUOTE.

Good to see you z ~:wave:

Butti~Hope weekend goes well.

Well I've come home to the dodgy lodger who has closed my windows in my bedroom despite a notice on my windowsill asking her not to. What next? Do you think I should offer to boot her out or just shoot her? (She is noticeably trying to avoid me - someone should tell her that I am here until Monday evening You can run but you can't hide).

p.s. I appear to have forgotten wine from my food budget!

p.p.s. no, it is there under entertainment - balancing a bottle of shiraz on my nose!!!!

beanielou

As previously discussed your lodger is something else :rotfl:
