horsemouth is back from the clanmoot of the communal endeavour. (sadly there was no gabber dancing)
he was successful in that he talked the members into the required rent rise of 4.1% (CPI plus 1%). this now means he now has to pay an extra fiver a week on his own rent. (woop de doo - well done horsemouth - that was a smart move!).
after the meeting there was beer. (peter and enza and a guy called graham up the approach).
it is the following morning. horsemouth has had his coffee. he has had some paracetamol. he has had some breakfast even - a wrap and the last of yesterday's chilli.
during his visit to the supermarket in the fields a few days ago horsemouth checked out his bank balance on one of those new fangled ATM machines. he's about 5/12ths into his redundancy/ pension taken in advance money - this should carry him out to roughly february 2023. thereafter horsemouth has to get on because he's starting to dig into his actual savings.
horsemouth's plan (if you can call it that) is to live cheaply and glide towards his state pension.
he does get a works pension already that he was able to take early, but because he was low paid and enrolled at the last possible minute by his employer (and because he took an advance on it), it is only about £60/ month. (so beer money really).
the housing is his major expense and will rinse his savings if he lets it. the real question is where does he want to be.
in the ongoing omnishambles that is british political life we have reached a defining moment. boris is denying calling tobias ellwood a cunt (come on boris everybody knows tobias ellwood is a cunt, just admit it).
