This living-on-your-own crap's expensive isn't it...!

Postby MotorcyclesFish on Sat Aug 09, 2008 9:54 pm

So much money on random crap - bin, salt+pepper shakers, thing for standing hot saucepans on, bath mat! I WANTED A NEW CAR!

Btw anyone want to move in with me and take over the cooking/cleaning/being my Bic™/laundry roles around the house?

No let me correct you......living alone is grrrrrrrrrrrreat....moving back in with your parents after having lived by yourself really REALLY sucks. Yes I'm financially better off but I can't walk around naked anymore and in my mothers eyes I've turned back into a 12 year old :rolleyes:

BTW, are bt still the 'K' word? :lol:

Too bloody right Grant!

Saturday: "Right, that's the council tax, gas, water, electricity, rent, food and a tank of fuel paid for :) Oh..looks like I'll just get some socks then. Maybe next weekend!" :lol:

DOnt ever buy a vacuum cleaner that isnt a dyson. You'll regret it. I'd be happy to live on 11p a packet noodles from tesco for a year if it meant i had a dyson and not some POS vacuum cleaner.

The other day i had to go in and clean up my brothers flat. he had a vacuum cleaner in there, infact he had 2. I though, will i take the dyson? nah, the car is small and I'm taking a carpet cleaner too, might not have enough room in the car and cant be bothered with the hassle. Got to the flat, spent over 25 mins cleaning 2 of the 3 carpets with the POS vacuum cleaners that were in the flat before one of them blew up on me.....

Would have taken 3 mins to do the whole flat with a dyson and been a better job. Took the Dyson back in the other day to finish the job off :)

so yes, i <3 dysons

Hmm. So you are saying that a dyson is better than an old vacuum cleaner that was so knackered it blew up on you? Hardly a fair comparison! :lol:

Because the strength of rohypnol I need to convince a woman to even talk to me in a bar is industrial; the amount needed to coax one back to the flat to do some hoovering and laundry hasn't been invented yet.

BTW all my food labels face forwards because I'm too lazy to reach up and pick the can up to see what's in it.
