Bloody parents!
I am really jealous of people who have Sky because of all the extras and more value for money stuff they get... but sadly I currently have a problem with my parents... mainly my mother!
As I am still currently living under their roof, I asked if I could get a Sky installation for my room, as I currently get £66 a week on Jobseekers allowance... after Sky sub deduction that would leave me with £224 a month for essentials such as food, clothes and rent (if my parents decide to charge me rent!) I already have enough clothes that fit me as it is, and I usually spend very little on food...
So, I sit down and talk it through with my parents... my father seems OK with the idea, just as long as the dish goes on the back of the house so it's not really noticeable... fair enough says I (my bedroom is at the back of the house anyway)
My mother on the other hand... I don't think she understands the value for money that Sky has over NTL... she says "What's the problem with all the channels we've already got?" I say "Nothing, but you get about twice as many channels on Sky and better services so it's better value for money"... she then goes all sarcastic over the "twice as many channels" comment and says "and twice as much crap" (just 'cos there's "nothing on" when she wants to watch it!) So basicallly she says No, and if I do get it installed I get kicked out of the house...
And then as we may be moving to Devon soon my Dad says "When we move we might get Sky" - If I have anything to do with it, that "might" will change to a "will" :pp...
I slightly agree with my Dad as it seems a bit silly to get Sky installed and then move out of the house... but I'm buying a present for myself for once... am I not allowed to do that?? I'm impatient and jealous! Impatient because I can't wait until we move down to Devon (probably July this year) and jealous of all the people I know who have a great Sky system to play with every day!
What can I do???
