At the moment I’m still living a cushty little life at home with my parents. As much as I want to move out, I hate the thought of renting somewhere and paying out all that cash and having nothing to show for it at the end.

Happy November! Sorry for my absence, I’m aware I’ve not posted in well over a week (oops) which I’ve never done before. But I’ve been super busy lately, including finally landing a nice new job! It’s similar to what I do already except for a totally different company and I will save 30 miles and over an hour a day in traveling. So I’m very exciting to be starting that next month, although I will be a little bit sad to…
