people ask me about having children
and aside from not wanting them, there's no fucking way I could afford it any time soon. not with the size of my mortgage.

my canadian friend has been trying to convince her other half to move over there. for the price of a two bed flat in exeter you can get a massive 4 bed detached house in canada with a generous amount of land.

for £35 I can get dual Candian/UK citizenship

I have only heard
good things about Canada. had a few pals move over there last year, they were tearful and unsure, a fortnight later they decided they would NEVER come back, so it must have something going for it. Proper seasons for a start, as opposed to the Spring then Autumn shite that Scotland gets.

As for running away, well, sometimes you need a bit of distance between you and your problems to truly see them and therefore decide how to deal with them. Not having a raise for 5 years is a pretty good reason to ask for one though....why stop at 5k ;-)

My father's father
made a living painting landscapes over there in his retirement from killing Germans - we have some beautiful oils showing the amazing autumnal colours they get out there. Simply stunning.
