How's everyone today?
@NiveusLepus Somewhat jaded.
@stueytheround What's got you grumpy, buddy.
@NiveusLepus Just got notice that our rent is going up 20%
We've been really lucky that it's well below market value, but this is just going to make life more tricky than it needs to be.
@stueytheround @NiveusLepus
Weird question but is any way related to the "upgrades" after the flood? If so, that sucks.
@wolfwoman Probably. I'm guessing their insurance premiums went up as well. They're good people. Not greedy. The flat next door costs another £150 on top of what our new rent will be!!
@wolfwoman @NiveusLepus
It's the timing that's awkward. First higher payment is November 1st. We were just getting on top of our finances so it's discouraging. We'll be ok though. I'm just going to need to find a bit of extra work each month. Ten hours would cover it well enough.
@stueytheround @NiveusLepus Please reach out if we can help with $
@wolfwoman I will. Hopefully we'll be ok.

That's it. I'm on my way to give you a hug, Stuey. I should be there by, um... 🤔 Soon. I'll be there soon.

@JoyfullyDazed @stueytheround @wolfwoman I got all the hugs for all of my coso buddies
@stueytheround @wolfwoman @NiveusLepus
That's awful, buddy! I'm really sorry you're going through this. 20% is a big jump. It's always something, seems like.
@stueytheround @wolfwoman Gods and ancestors be with you my friend. I'm sorry you're in this spot.
