It's pretty warm today and the back of the house is full of lies, I'm fairly certain there is something dead under the decking - and the odour of rodent will not fade in the kitchen - I just used the oven and I had to leave the room - I'm probably going to have to take the cooker out of the kitchen and strip it down and bleach it - probably outside. I've cleaned every part I can - but it still smells pretty bad when it's warm.
I'm about 85% certain that I'll have to demolish the lean-to kitchen. The damp from next doors drain is causing mildew on the paneling - even with a vent, it's just not working out. The roof is fucked and needs replacing - the windows are shit and have no locks, the whole thing is a farce - I'm quite warm to the idea of a kitchen diner - it will make the house smaller - but I'm not fussed about that - It's not worth anything anyway - I'd be better off torching the fucking thing and chancing my arm with the insurance.
I can't do anything now because I don't have any money - but I'll start drawing up plans, I actually think it will be cheaper in the long run, and I like a big kitchen.
I am supposed to go to a private view later - it's fairly important, but I'm wavering... I get so little time to catch up that I resent having to play politics outside work hours. I'm really short of money and I can't afford to buy drinks so I'll probably give it a miss and make some excuse. I get a lot of grief from friends who think I should get out more... they are probably right - they are more than welcome to fund my private life if the urge takes them.
I have a choice - going out and having a couple of pints - or buying washing powder and toothpaste.
I have started paying for my lunches in Sainsburys with small change - the coin machine tills are ace - an egg sandwich is a quid and I can get that in copper and 5ps - I have about 200 quid in copper and nobody else will take it.

I ran out of money halfway through last month and survived on coin machines and trying the pockets of old clothes. It's depressing and humiliating, but I have a peverse pride at getting through it.

Wonderful typo there! (Or is it a typo? Better still...) Just found your blog, am enjoying it. Good luck with the finances.
I saw the error earlier and decided to leave it, it was accidently rather poetic. ( I am dyslexic - I put a huge amount of effort into getting it right but I miss loads of stuff and the spell checker just confuses me more!)
