I refused to rent point blank. I know for some people that isn't possible but if you work near where you were brought up and you have good parents it's a no brainer. It has meant not moving out until 25 but i'll benefit in the long run.
I got a new job minus a hellish commute, have purchased my first house and loved every minute following Saints up and down the country. I also had a pretty brilliant holiday in Las Vegas. 8.5 with an expectation that next year will be even better.
Well deserved. The only surprise was seeing the Sunderland fans break down crying when they dared to take the lead in this "nothing" competition. Who wants to win a cup anyway?
