So I've been feeling down and so has hubby over the last few days which is why I've not been about, that and I'd assumed you guys would be having your 4th July celebrations.

Have you noticed the area you live in changing recently?

When I moved to my present home the area was nice, not the best but the folks were kind and the area had a decent reputation, this was in 1997. Hubby moved in when we finally got together properly in 2002. The area changed as people changed I watched as families I had liked moved out and new ones appeared. Such is life.

Now however, the area is different. The kids who were babies have grown and grown into thugs. They don't talk they shout and they only seem to know how to cuss. Parents, tv all to blame I guess. We've had problems from a house a few doors down for a couple of years but you know you kid yourself it's only one or two.

Well I got a new neighbough on Friday and damn has it been a crappy time since.

We learned that this guy is 18, the state or that's everyone else who works for a living is paying for this guy to have a huge place to himself. He's tagged and my friend who is letting the property was under the impression this guy had just left foster care. Well he has, just Her Majesty's one, or prison in other words. His "family" and friends have been hanging out with him causing noise and destruction. The oddest thing is this guys family live 3 streets over ???

I caught one of his thuggish pals using a lighter to ignite the spray from a can of deoderant in MY porch !! I told him fuck off in a clear and obvious way (I have PMT, you'd have felt sorry for him). Since then it's been one thing after another and we've come to the decision that we are going to have to move away as all the so call kids/adults now in the area are all headed this way.

I was at my local store run by a really lovely guy Bob today and another neighbough from a few doors down was complaining to me that the people who work in the store follow her around as though she was going to steal something, didn't I feel annoyed at this. I think she was implying because they were Asian they were deliberately picking on her. I told her frankly that I had never been followed about the store and that in fact I had to go looking for them when I couldn't find anything.

I'm not being unkind either but 90% of the people in this area do not speak English, most are Somalian and unemployed. There is no such thing as being friends with your neighbough anymore.

We have to go and we will, we just need figure out how to get the cash together.

That sucks. I hate moving but understand the need to. I don't really like the area we live in but no way I can afford to move anytime soon. You have any idea of where you'd like to move to?

We can't afford it either but it's that or our sanity.

Seriously it's that bad hubby was talking about living with his mom in the country while we saved, no thanks.

We'll have to make cut backs and just cope I guess.

Not far away really near to London and heathrow still maybe a few miles away.

Tomorrow night we're going to sit down and do the math.

We did consider just making do with a "starter home" a very small and basic one bedroom house but they start it seems at $365,000 here so we'll be renting for sure.

Yeah and a pokey box at that, usually just a patch of earth for a garden no parking and thin walls.

Gotta love London.

Yeah, I do understand. I got really lucky a few years back when I decided to start renting again, and I found a cute house on a one way street directly across from my youngest's school her very, very first year in pre-K and only a handful of houses on the whole street. All of them just poor families like me who are just trying to make it in the world but good enough people. Tried to be a good tenant and must have worked because in the years I've been here my landlord has actually lowered my rent by $75.00 just to help me out. Of course, hell is just a couple of streets over and two blocks down, but the demons rarely come this way.

Good luck on the crunching numbers and finding a miracle Dean.

Thanks, we can't afford to move far but out of the abyss would be good.

We might have to wait a while and get the deposit they always want a month a head. We're looking at apartments I think you call it as they tend to rent out about $1140 pcm, thats unfurnished before bills etc which isn't too bad of course the houses I want are just under $2000 pcm.

Is housing expensive outside of LA and NY ?

Varies all over the country. A lot of people move to the South because we are supposedly very reasonable. I have a friend who moved here about four years ago because they got 7 acres of land and built a 4,000 square foot house in the country for around $230,000. She said they had moved from a 20-year-old house in the city with around 2500 square feet and a small plot of land that cost between $300,000 to $350,000 (I can't remember exactly).

Do you want to move to the US?

Yeah Sam is right. If you have extra money, now is definitely the time to invest in real estate, especially in Florida because it's about as cheap as it's been in a very long time.

We've talked about moving to the USA and hubby wants to especially to San Diego area. I keep telling him the grass is always greener on the other side and it's not all great in the USA but he just says how can it be worse than here.

I'm guessing maybe Watts. LOL, it's not that bad but it will be when the darling fuckers grow up.

What's Watts? I wouoldn't recommend Florida cuz you'd prob die of heat stroke. San Diego's cool. One of my teachers moved there a year or two ago. Said it's awesome, but very expensive. Why does hubby like San Diego?

We've been there before and loved it, the water, he loves boats his dad used to fix the boats at power boat racing. He loves California but I don't think I'd like to move to LA.

Florida nearly killed me in September/October damn humidity.

Watts is a place in LA where the Bloods and Crips gangs are from.

You're middle-class, white, and British. You would stand out like a nun at an orgy.

LMAO Actually, I mean real nuns, but I guess you're right. Lots of angels and Catholic school girls too. Doesn't take much to be considered middle-class around these here parts. It's a wide, wide, wide range from lower middle-class to upper middle-class. Hell!! Last year even I earned enough to be considered middle-class which I thought was funny as all get out since I still struggled to figure out how I was going to pay all my bills every month. Won't be making that mark this year though, not since I discovered the cyberworld of fandom.
