Winter Warmer

With Jules' adventures taking a slightly different route from my own albeit temporarily, this has caused a bit of a problem. I have a nice room in a nice flat about 2 mins walk from work, I share with some cool people I consider good friends and unfortunately a double room with matching double room rent. Just how much is my pleasant living situation worth in financial terms? Well, as it turns out about $100 a week too much. Yep, a dilema but one solved fairly easily. Queenstown is a pretty easy going fluid kind of place and people coming and going is a expected norm, so with that said there tends to be a solution popping up seemingly instantly. Enter the fray TJ, his real name is yet to be known, and I've worked with him for the best part of 1/2 a year, an Oxford native and like myself a former employee of Tesco, Cowley Road branch for him though.

"So Julia is heading to India then, when does she leave?"

"At the weekend"

"So what you doing, are you staying in your pad"

"Bit of a problem that one, there doesn't seem to be any chance of a rent deduction, so I guess I'll have to find something. I've had a couple of offers of floors, but it's a bit of a lengthy time to be living in someones sitting room"

"Why don't you move in with me?"

And why not? so there it is, one possible problem overcome and a new flatmate found. The accomodation itself not admittedley the nicest place you've ever seen(cabin in a caravan park) and the lack of a heater might be a problem what with winter apon us, but for the short time being I'm living as a single bloke and do I really need all that jazz that comes with comfortable living. I guess I'll find out. Does anyone have a spare hot water bottle?
