It's all going horribly wrong.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I am in meltdown. I gave my landlord notice to quit and now my guarantor for the rent on the new place has JUST PULLED OUT. The move was supposed to be in 10 days, My only other option was to get my dad or someone to stump up £2000. My Dad can't do it, cos he loaned Payne the money for his motorbike. My savings are boned and I'm supposed to be doing research for a job interview tomorrow, my first in over 3 years. I really hope my landlord will take back my notice to quit. I am in tears and cannot focus on the wine, beer and whiskey research I NEED to do to nail this interview.

My dad and I will be meeting tonight to see if there is another option. it's all kinds of fucked up.

Shit pixie that sucks. hang in there

[LMNO]

Damn.  Why did the garantor pull out?  Doesn't that kind of thing require a contract?

[Luna]

I'm sorry, Pix.  Wish I could help.  I'd offer my couch if you weren't so far away.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Damn.  Why did the garantor pull out?  Doesn't that kind of thing require a contract?

We were about to go sign the paperwork and then she pulled out. Apparently her mum thought it was a bad plan.

The only consolation is that I haven't paid any fees or anything yet, and may be able to rescind my notice to quit, thus restoring my status quo. Which may fuck Payne and his housemates over. This would especially apply to Matt, who may have to quit his horticulture course if he has to move back to his parents.

Ok, UPDATE! Me, Payne and the guys I was going to move in with are looking at a new place tomorrow, before the interview. I've txted my landlord letting him know the score.

I now know more about scotch single malts than i did. (I'm a fan of the Speyside, Island and Highland types, myself, and am not keen on the 1 Islay I've tried) I know what beers to pair with food to a certain extent, and I know that European wines are by region, New World by grape. Wine is my weakest point, but I know that beer and food pairing-wise, a dark beer is akin to a red wine for food, and paler akin to white, and with both wine and beers, if in doubt go for region of the food and match to something from that region. . IPA's and lagers are good for spicy food, such as curries and chilli, and often superior choices to wines in this respect, porters and stouts are good for red meat and chocolate desserts, Stout goes excellently with oysters.

Add to this my customer services and general kitchen experience in cleaning and basic prepration, willingness to be flexible and I feel that what I don't know I can improve with experience and research. I've mostly just typed this out from memory so it will stick for the interview. My suit is hung up, I'm about to have a shower after I have a ciggy and a cup of chai. I think I am as prepared as I am going to be.

Best of luck to you!

ooof, sounds shitty and awfulbad. I hope it works out, Pixie! It would be so cool if you two spags lovebirds found a place together.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Good luck pixie!

[Telarus]

Good luck Pix!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I hope shit gets sorted, Pixie!

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I hope shit gets sorted, Pixie!

Hell if I get either the job or the new house imma be in a better place mentally than I was yesterday.

Heh, My landlord just called and has offered me a viewing of a place that is £225 a month each, for 3 people. The other brilliantly located place was snapped up faster than a very fast thing. I am all made up in my suit and blue suede heels and ready to kick ass and take names.

Good luck, Pix.

Awesome on both counts, kick ass!
