£1343 to over 3k/month for a two-bedroom place? Worked out thus(£weeklyx52/12). Glad I don't have to live there!

Edit - my place - a 3 bed semi with garage & gardens = less/month than the expensive one is/week!

I fucking love my home.
If it had another bedroom it would be perfect for me. I love it all the more now Lusty lives with me, it looks more homely and I love turning off the street into my block. One of the best things I did was to get extra record storage as my racks were full and I had hundreds more on the floor.

I am not the neighbour from hell any more, but I was for years. I genuinely believed my flat was pretty much soundproof for the first five years of living there, never had a peep out of anyone.

I'm well gutted.
I spent about a month on a site, went back'n'forth with the client, got it all perfectly spot on. Everything was happy days as far as I knew. Everything was signed off as far as I knew.

One of the client's staff just asked me to do a change, so I go to do the change and....it turns out that they've had the site re-created (except they made some mistakes when copying my work) on a different platform by a different agency. Everyone in my company is like WTF? except one of the bosses seems to know but hasn't said anything to me yet.

I don't really get why someone would do that.
