A £1200 a month flat in London in 2001
A £300 a month flat above a chip shop in 2003
A Grotty £400 a month flat in 2005
A lovely £600 a month house in 2007
Then I bought a lovely house and stopped being a povvo renter and became an actual povvo because my mortgage payments are so high.

I might get a sausage and bacon sandwich. I like topics. I don't really hate anyone.
