Or "Smile; it the second best thing one can do with one's lips."
So I've had a little annoyance with my housemates of late.
Geraldine, got annoyed by the fact there was porn on her laptop. Im a single guy in my early twenties with access to the interweb, of course Im going to be going on to porn sites. So she said that I couldn't use her laptop again. Then she switches over the TV so she can wath the X-Factor despite that Ive been watching TV for a while and she is in the other room getting ready to go out. Which really annoyed moi alot to.
Then Alister. Instead of simply wiping the one dish in the sink, he turns to moi as I head to the shower and asks if I can do my dishes before I go to bed. Then he also asks moi to remove my underwear from the radiator. Why he couldnt do it himself he said was because he didnt want to touch other peoples underwear. I wanted to explain to him that the underwear had just come from the washing machine and went straight on to the radiator and I hadnt had chance to wear the underwear so there was no fear of bollock sweat. But I wasnt in the mood to discuss the non-politics of underwear removal with Alister.
It made moi think that Im not enjoying myself at this house anymore. I never spend anytime there. Mainly as I do overtime for money, and to stay out of the house, or Ill go round to my mums to access the interweb or just to get away.
It certainly is time I started to think about moving.
I was invited to Leeds this weekend. I had alot of fun. Shopping, drinking, eating and talking to strange clubbers who were clearly off their tits.
So apart from the sore knees, elbows and back I had alot of fun in Leeds.
So much so that its where I'm thinking about moving to.
My plan is to have a look online for jobs/houses in and around in Leeds. See if its easy to get a job in that area. Also to see how pricey it is to live in Leeds, the general living costs. See how much notice is the least amount of notice I can give before I move in. So if it looks like something that can be done (which it should be able to be done as people do live and work in and around Leeds).
Then Ill give my housemate three months notice. Save up bit by bit each week for the three months till I leave (or if she finds someone to move in sooner leave sooner). Go bak to my mums, pay less rent save more money and one I have an amount of money saved up eql to about 3 months rent then Ill start applying for jobs. Give a few weeks notice before I can start the job giving moi opportunity to et a flat to rent/share and make the move.
I asked a work colleague how he approached his move. He came from Cambridge to Liverpool. He told moi he stayed on his girfriends floor in her parent house for three weeks. Which is something I cant do.
So if anyone has any advice or tips about moving to a new town let moi know.

(6.12.05 19:58) Leeds is only a couple of hours or less so you should be alright applying for jobs from where you are. Still, if it was me I'd save up the three months' rent like you say, then just pack up my stuff into a spotted handkerchief and go live in Leeds and look for work at the same time. Three months, you should be able to get something in that time if you do enough Googling beforehand. You don't want to be going back to live with your Mum, you'll tell yourself it's temporary but you'll never leave. And she's not going to be happy about porn on her laptop either. |

(6.12.05 20:14) amy - But thanks for the none offer there hun .... hmmm. Tis a very funky place isnt it. Menace - I was thinking about doing interviews from Runcorn. As it is only just under £20 for a return ticket and under 2 hours away. So its not really difficult in anyway. But I dont think I have th eballs to jump right in with the handkerchief plan. Id be a littl too cautious about that. Im kind of hoping to save up quite abit of money before I move to the rents and mega save when there so as to not stay there too long and get stuck in a rut. Well in the few years I lived at my mums before I flew the nest first time round I had a look at ALOT of porn ( i was a teen) and there was no complaints) |
|
(6.12.05 20:23) I try my best with my none offers :D |
|
(6.12.05 20:29) Why on earth did you have sore knees, elbows and back after a weekend in Leeds?? Am intrigued! And I hope things work out well for you whatever you decide to do...xx |
|
(6.12.05 20:43) amy - they are very good none offers. Had I not actually had a plan id of taken you up on your none offer. welshie - Good to hear your intrigued. But somethings are best left to the imagination....and for my own thoughts ;-) If it helps, it was alot of fun during the making of the sore parts. I hope things do work out. Only problem about moving to Leeds is being further away from Rhyl :-( |
|
(6.12.05 20:48) Were you sumo-wrestling?? hehe Crikey! However will you cope being so far away from Wales' answer to Blackpool?? |
|
(6.12.05 21:00) There was some wrestling involved ;-) I havent a clue how Ill cope being so far away from Rhyl. Maybe ill have to get up real early to head over there in the summer. Also Rhyl is far better then Blackpool in my eyes :-) |
|
(6.12.05 21:43) No wonder you liked Leeds so much! Naughty boy. |
|
(6.12.05 21:47) Hey you. Leeds was great, without taking in to account the fantastic company I had and the soreness. The only downside is that Ill know absolutely no one in Leeds. Ill be all alone. Guess that means Ill have to flirt with every boy, girl and shop assistant ;-) Best get practising |
|
(6.12.05 22:04) I think we need further details re: sores and company! I'll come visit you in Leeds. |
|
(6.12.05 23:55) how can rhyl be better than blackpool?! :O |
|
(7.12.05 18:58) Sarah - unfortunately i dont want divulge anymore of the weekend then I already have. Sorry. Thanks for inviting yourself up once I get settled in. Itd Be appreciated. Angel - hey hun, OH, Rhyl is far better then Blackpool. Far better. Just for tackyness value. I mean Blackpool is trying to get a lil away from tack. Rhyl knows it cant get rid of its tackyness, so isnt bothering. Leaving it full of happy fun tackyness. Infact one of my friends dis-believes moi so much on this we are doing a visit to Blackpool and Rhyl to compare. Ill let you know our findings. |

(7.12.05 19:59) *penny drops* I see... |
|
(7.12.05 20:09) Sarah - what about this penny? |
|
(7.12.05 20:14) It's just dropped. Sorry for grilling you! |
|
(7.12.05 20:17) Its okay, I dont mind grilling. |
|
(7.12.05 21:40) How about roasting, are you OK with that? |
|
(8.12.05 18:48) I do like a good roasting now and then. Anyone else? |
|
(9.12.05 15:46) I certainly wouldn't say no if one was offered on a plate... |
|
(9.12.05 18:33) You know youll just encourage the boys with comments like that....;-) |
