To be clear, they are partying upstairs but I gave in to drinking alone the minute I bought the wine. I hold my hands up to that. I just don't have the sober muscle to deal with that s**t (and not knowing when they'd be back) without the crutch of booze. I have enough sleep issues at the best of times.
Dee, though I stayed at my dad's recently he lives in another city, and my mum the other side of the country.
And Kinzoku, I can't afford to save on minimum wage and benefits. And I have no confidence to find another job.
Also - it gets better - my job... I am a bartender. I have been a bartender for 13 years and never done anything else but shop work in my teens; my housemates also work in bars/kitchens.
Wish me luck.
