Speaking as a youth worker it seems to be de rigeur for teens to proclaim bisexuality these days. Hell, it was even in my day, but only girls back then, and we all knew damn well they were only fake-snogging girls to make the boys notice them.
It’s amazing how many self-confessed bisexual girls end up married to men, with several children.
Yes, I subscribe to a magazine in which that is a highly effective way of getting my attention :)
Well, I’m not bothered either way. I want them to be happy, whoever that’s with.
Not to sound crass but do you have the means to cover the rent on the house? What’ll it be vs. what you’re paying now? Is it a wash? Seems like a promotion to me.
A “wash"? What’s that? A swindle? A con?
Exile, it’s not at all crass to ask about money. It’s essential. “Money isn’t everything” my arse.
The “rent” – in fact, the remnants of the mortgage that me and Kirsty took out when I was on loadsamoney in London years ago – would be about £200 / month cheaper than what I’m paying here, and I’m going to propose an arrangement of passionate secret sex with Seriouscrush where I could take a bit of a profit from managing this house for her.
In addition, I’d like to get a bit more work anyway, to get the Tax Credit people off my back. It’s all change here in the UK at the moment as they’re trying to move lower earners onto a much more punitive and controlling regime called “Universal Credit” (what a misnomer – if only we could all have a social wage). I’d rather just claim nothing if possible.
A wash means the same. Is the amount you’re going to pay the same as the amount you’re paying right now?
Glad to hear you’re interested in a bit more work. The layabout stuff gets old (although I’d like to try it myself just to see how long that takes).
Oh right, I see thanks. Now, come on Exile, pay attention – as I said in my previous comment, it’s 200/m cheaper.
And I’m only going to start working more hours because I need the money. I’ve absolutely no interest in working, intrinsically. My life is full and enjoyable, and time spent working to me is an absolute waste.
Great news on the potential shift in living arrangements - i could almost hear the weight lifting from your shoulders as Kirsty brought forward the proposal!
Yes, it’s all quite exciting. Think it’ll be mutually beneficial for all of us. And to be able to live in a warm house again! :)
The potential living arrangements sound really good - hope that all comes together.
Thanks – I’m looking forward to it.
And of course I can more easily invite da laydeez home :)
