Excellent advice, guys. I'll try that next time, and probably tell you how it went from a cosy, norwegian prison cell.

See? Worst case scenario you get a roof over your head that isn't a dank rocky surface full of moss and spiders and bats and ok this isn't the best enviroment for flirting at all, is it. No wonder we moved to huts and whatnot.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Snu-snu?

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

ADWD. I was spoiled with SE methinks.....cause this is crap. 275 pages in, and it feels like I'm wasting my time. I was wondering if I would hold GRRM in the same awesome light that I did before after reading SE and ICE, and now I have my answer. When does SE new book come out? I can't believe I rushed to the store early on the morning of release to buy this shit!!!! (personal opinion of course) Argh!!!! Wench! More wine!!!!!

When I got up and went to take a shower today, the pipes only answered with a long, dramatic howl and some growls... no water. FFS. Now all sticky and groggy. Bleh.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

My lovely family. Can we just agree on me being an petty, irresponsible, ugly bastard and get over it? Ot just keep you bad mood and your finances in check, I don't want any of. I have plenty of my own problems.

Money, money, money. No luck on the job front and to make sure when term starts back that our rent comes out AFTER our student loans come in we have to pro-rata August rent from the 4th to the 10th. Another 60-70 quid I DON'T HAVE.

Off to the bank later to get a credit card. One thing I said I'd never resort to but with next months rent nearly maxing out my fucking overdraft I ain't got a choice.

Hating the money chains.

Don't fuck around with credit card debt - I only recently paid them off (only because I goaded my father into doing so) because they're too convenient.

Got an interview next week with a very high profile civil aviation company that's worth an extra 1/3 of my annual salary, and feeling quietly confident about it too!!

Where's the groove messing I hear you ask?

Well, my partner is due in Jan, so I've got until November to get a mortgage and buy us a home.
Problem is, I will need about another 6 weeks to get my full deposit together, and starting with Rolls Royce requires a temporary agency contract for the first 12 mths, meaning the banks won't touch me!!

Best job of my life?
or
Mortgage?

why do you have to get a house and mortgage?? I just don't see the correlation ????

go for the job, if you have somewhere to live and take care of yourselves and family, houses are on the market all the time, jobs aren't.

Thanks!!!
I hate where I live right now, and have been saving for the last 9 mths, so I feel I'm committed to buying now.

If i take the job now, I won't be able to lend for about another 12 mths, at which point my partner will be on maternity leave.
I want to buy a house before the year is out, as ive been horribly obsessed and terribly skint since starting to save my deposit.

I guess the only option is to tell the job I can't start until October. That'll give me enough time to buy.

There you go, job and house. Done.
Cake and eat it!!!

Hope it works.

Thanks again CT.

@Loki - awesome avatar. LOL

Groove messed with = there is no grocery store close to my house, so to buy proper food I have to go out of my way..and after work I am tired and usually too lazy to go out of my way tot he grocery store...so i usually end up eating toast, or pizza or something bad for me.

I'm sick of eating stuff that is bad for me and want to eat better.

Feeling like crap.

The water board although acknowledging that the bill theyve sent is 200 pound also have another bill of 400 pound+ that theyve added because of a general enquiry going on into the house. I cant afford the 200 bill nevermind the 400 one so theyve said theyll ring me back with more information which they havnt done.

FUCKING c**ts
