Split road...

As I am writing this my mind is being scrambled...I have been in Edinburgh now for nearly two years after leaving my home town. Today my folks came to the city and visited me at work and had a small discussion with me...

It turns out that the tenants that was renting my folks restaurant  can no longer run the business and is packing it in, so my folks wants to know if I'd be interested in going back...

Problem is this...I am now very much settled in the capital city...I cannot just abandon my position here at my current work (which is also family business)...yet I cannot turn my back on my parents...

If I remain, I shall continue to enjoy what the city can offer and probably be quite stable career wise and financially in about 5 years.

If I choose to go back...there is ONE HELL of a mess that must be cleaned up after those tenants...let alone having the gas and electricity lines checked for faults...carpets may need to be ripped out and relayed (Honestly...cleaning the darn thing won't get it back to what it was)...and it will pretty much stump my financial capabilities for a few years...and the town is a dump with no real economical power to even sustain itself...

Boy oh boy do I have a catch 22 situation...

Its all coming back! :D

Oh Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Remember a month ago I screwed things over a bit with Michelle? After many messages and persuasion, I managed to be "dating her"...I'm not entirely sure what  actually happened... Last Wednesday we had a lunch date...then I asked if she wanted to come with me to look for a new car...I choose to go back to my old place of work (Citroen and Seat dealers), saw a good number of old colleagues and my old manager! We greeted and had a catch up...then they offered me AN ASS KICKING EPIC DEAL... So i bought a car...Seat Ibiza, 1.4litre engine...140 break horse power with a decent 60mpg......in black... Life is pretty sweet just now, (almost) girlfriend and new car...needing a flat to call home :)

My flat!

I was suppose to put this up eons ago! These are the photos of the flat that is mine! Haha. Of course it looks a little basic but it's for renting out and not myself! Here they are!

Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have? That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city! The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill! Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some...
