So lets get this right Manila bound ? (put a name in for us) you pay your Mum £20.00 per week for your upkeep, sorry forgive me for [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] LOL, In the year 2006 I find that incredible, since that is what I paid my Mum when I was a young soldier in 1977, I would have to say you are one of the luckiest guys in the world, but I think you are getting ready for a rude awakening to life in the real world.

I love your next comment &#33;,
I find this paticularly funny and forgive me for laughing, but I bet your Filipino GF is ecstatic at the thought of coming to UK on the basis that she will have to find work more or less straight away, I bet she can&#39;t wait for the joys of starting her life in the new country, on the basis that you will only be able to consider looking for accomodation once she is working, that immediately should start to worry you, as it would mean, you are unable to accomodate her, unless of course your Mum consents to her living at her house until such time as you are able to look for alternative accomodation.

There is nothing wrong of course with being accomodated in Mums house, I know of others who do this, but I think you are going to find that your expenses will increase more than an extra £20.00 a week, I think you need to take a look at the &#39;real life&#39; before you bring this girl to the UK.

The cost of accomodation in the UK, whether it be private rentals, or house prices, has sky rocketed, the average 2 bedroom rental is at least £650.00 to £700.00 in the South East, some are between £800.00 and £1000.00, I can&#39;t speak for the North as I have no idea what they cost there, but I Iny any event I wish you well with it.

Thanks for the semi-piss take of a reply and for keeping up your usual practice of putting people down with out full knowledge of a situation.

I&#39;m only asking for advice/help on how to present the comings and goings of my money&#33;
