about my window blowing out yeah i know we should get it fixed we must get the landlord around <&>1:00 i was gonna say something to jimmy tonight but i thought <{><[>you know <[>YEAH <.>we we were getting on SO good let's not <{1><[1>spoil it <.>BUT word so much no one round here it seems ridiculous really <{2><[2>word i think it's quite bad that um that what that top window of mine <{3><[3>hasn't got a clasp <[1>yeah at the <.>moment can't go <[2>yeah <.>but <[3>yeah yeah i mean <{><[><.>that's <[>so what hasn't it got hasn't got the bar thing yeah that goes along it wasn't till you said to me um maybe the top window's open yeah i come out here and i pushed it and i thought oh wow it opens <{><[>oh jeez i can't close it <[><.>cos cos in my room at home i just leave them open constantly like all the time mm and i used to last year as well that's why i asked you cos i thought well that's what i used to do do you think i could leave it open all of the time <,,> i don't know cos last year um i used to and we locked ourselves out once and then my top window was open and we tried to get IN through it but we couldn't and we <{1><[1>were still locked out <{2><[2>so you could just try it <[1>yes <[2>word to see how tight it <,> <{><[>would be yeah <[>yeah cause <.>it YEAH it was just too small for us to get our hand in and down to open our room but it might be different with that one cos it might flap open quite a way <&>2:00 yeah but <.>th if there's nothing outside to stand on <{><[>no <[>so <.>i i <.>mean i mean <{><[>you know word <[>but if somebody was keen to <{><[>get in they would <[>yeah that's what they say if you <.>can especially cos there's ladders down the basement <{><[>laughs <[>laughs true that's what i was thinking if we ever locked ourselves out we'd have no way of getting in <{1><[1>what about outside the bathroom window is <.>there is there um steps sort of things there or like <{2><[2>concrete <[1>i know i <.>reckon <[2>i don't know there's a um DRAIN which is really revolting cos it overflows but there's <{><[>word <.>because yeah there was one day it did but um <[>overflows? cos i was thinking <.>like cos like <{1><[1>you <&>tape noise leave your window open <{2><[2>so i thought if i <.>got if i got <.>round if i got stuck i could go down to the basement and get the ladder <[1>yeah <[2>yeah get a ladder <{><[>yeah <[>but then i thought there'd be <{><[>nowhere <[>yeah it'd be REALLY hard to climb up you couldn't put the ladder <{><[>into <.>the <[>does <.>the cos the ground just goes straight down from my window <{><[>like it's all bush <[>mm mm all the bush <{><[>stuff <[>yeah i know i'd probably SLIDE <{><[>down <[>you'd need somebody down the bottom to <{><[>hold it <[>hold it yeah hold your ladder maybe we should get another key and stick it in the laundry or something <.>cos oh yeah i think so too it'd be such a pain if we locked ourselves out especially since none of us are ever sort of <&>3:00 home together mm especially if it was a weekend <{><[><.>cos <[>like the other day everybody had gone to work and i was leaving and <.>i almost walked out and shut that door and <.>it which would have locked me <,> out without my keys i wouldn't even have been able to <{1><[1>get into my car oh i was so glad laughs i was so glad i didn't do it no it was when i went for a RUN or something <,> and i thought if i was locked out i wouldn't have my CLOTHES to get get to work in my car to get to work in <{2><[2>oh yeah i think we've got to get <.>one i think we have to do that <[1>yeah <[2>yeah we can just get one cut and stick it out there yeah oh true yeah no yeah <{><[>there's a key cutter guy in karori <[>yeah just word yeah i saw that yeah but yeah that's a good idea but we won't tell the guys because they'll probably get it and lose it yeah or <{><[>word ways to sneak in <[>just yeah we can just hide it in the laundry somewhere yeah <.>that's that's a really good idea because <.>i i was just thinking if <.>i if i start going running <{><[>laughs that <.>i <[>you're not gonna take keys if you go <.>running you go running yeah i mean voc <{><[>i'm not <.>going <[>yeah we used to have one <&>4:00 last year and i used it HEAPS <{><[>laughs we used to just hang it on the hook in the laundry everybody used it i think it was good i think that's what we need see rhys was going to do his washing this afternoon he must have taken my last load of washing out i had so much washing <[>mm laughs laughs <.>i i <.>d i don't know how i guess i could've slept in some of them laughs laughs and um he must have been going to do <.>it must have been going to do his washing yeah and um <,> he must have taken my stuff out and then looked at the line and thought oh it's full but then again i don't think he would have <{><[>cos it's not i think <.>he <[>yeah he probably ran out of enthusiasm <{><[>laughs <[>yeah <,> i <.>was oh cos i rushed home to put it on this morning from my <{1><[1>run and then i was lying on my bed reading my graduation stuff and i thought oh yeah better get to work now and then i thought oh no i haven't put my washing out <{2><[2>so i RUSHED out and hung it up and then had to drive really fast to get to work on time <[1>yeah <[2>oh right that was really bad yeah <.>i i thought um <,,> i might put the washing on early one morning just to get at the guys mm one morning jimmy put it on really early and woke me up oh really <&>5:00 i wasn't very happy laughs i don't know if there were many people in this morning or and not having the doors open doesn't really help it anyway but the thing that <.>bu that bugged me was that it was monday and jim doesn't have to do anything mondays <{><[>so why does he have to get up at seven oclock in the morning whereas <.>it's it's different like when you have to <.>get you know have to get up that day <[>right he doesn't have to do it so early yeah i didn't think you'd HEAR it from in here oh no i was just wanting to have a bitch <{><[>laughs <[>yeah i don't know why he's being exceptionally nice i think um no he has his moods <{><[>word <[>mark said to me he looks quite moody yeah i think he probably is actually yeah i'd say if rhys blew off it'd be quite scary <.>i he's very reserved <{><[><.>and <[>he IS i can't imagine him ever word yeah which makes it even <{1><[1>more scary to think if you did <{2><[2>get on his wrong side <[1>word interesting <[2>if you did yeah whereas if <.>it i don't <.>think i don't know whether it would happen no he's probably word laughs that'd be interesting actually if he and mike a pair of them laughs oh that's all he said <{><[>cos <.>it at first i was just saying about how <.>i jim's about the <&>6:00 only one i've had problems with <[>oh right yeah cos like jim's the only one <,> that won't <.>always yeah i know he's just harder to get on with yeah oh it's just <.>that i don't think that jim does it on purpose i think <.>it it's him it's just him <{><[>oh yeah <[>yeah it's his personality personality yes it's word you've got to worry about yeah i think quite a lot of people do oh it's good though that <.>now like now i think um that the more we start to relax i mean it's hard to live with word i KNOW yeah i think the more we start to relax <.>the the <.>more you just sort of want to get things sorted out like the <,> flat account and things like that <{><[><.>just once you get things running you know it all gets much easier <[>yeah i went and found out about automatic payments from my account <{><[>cost nothing <[>oh right oh that's good <{><[>at least it's something <[>word so it's just out of the flat account that we're going to pay the word mm <{><[>word <[>word word but we <.>w oh we're going to have to work out something cos if we're ALL going to have our automatic payments go in next week <{><[>that's not going to work if we all <,,> if we have to have a opening balance <&>7:00 <[>yeah i think we'll have to just deposit in weekly <{1><[1>sums not have an automatic payment next week <{2><[2>have the automatic payment starting two weeks after next <{3><[3>week <[1>mm <[2>yeah <[3>yeah yeah yeah cos <{1><[1>that will be the easiest way to <{2><[2>organise it <[1>yeah <[2>yeah if we all give cheques yeah yeah <{><[><.>and <[>just write out cheques to him <,> word and um i think er we've got to teach rhys how to do shopping i think <{><[>what we have <.>to i i <.>don't i think what we'll have to do is write a list and say stick to it <[>mm tut i don't know what went wrong though because like he said he got most things i think he strayed from the list a bit <{1><[1>you know like i mean he didn't have to get like two sacks of onions <{2><[2>and didn't have to get toilet paper <[1>mm <[2>yeah that's right yeah didn't have to get the toilet paper or soap <{1><[1>or <,> toothpaste because he just <.>d he probably just didn't check all the things and he thought OH <{2><[2>maybe we need it <[1>mm yeah <[2>yeah and the rubbish bags and bags and stuff <{><[>but i <.>mean <,> he <.>didn't <[>yeah it's going to just be held in stock laughs yeah that's <{><[>right <[>till next time voc his mind's <.>like i don't know i think we just should sit down and say this is the shopping <{><[>list this is what we've got to stick to <[>yeah well when you go shopping you should just like check with the list but obviously he didn't yeah <&>8:00 well he did take the list along yeah which is more than what we did <{><[>laughs <[>yeah but we still did a good job we did well laughs i thought he was going to <.>be feel <.>quite i think <.>he when he comes and said SO did you see the shopping list yeah it was like <{1><[1>i think he was expecting us to go what the fuck <{2><[2>did you <.>buy what the fuck were you thinking thinking yeah that he'd spent a bit much <{3><[3>laughs yeah never mind yeah i suppose not suppose not <{4><[4>no i just thought you know come on <,,> cos i remember that time that jim went off at me about that yoghurt and stuff <[1>yeah word <[2>yeah <[3>yeah <[4>laughs yeah he went on at me about it for days laughs i went round word something to say about the last shopping list really in the last shopping list you wrote you wrote FLAVOURED yoghurt oh yeah <{><[>yeah that was word yeah <[>but i thought that was a dig but um <&>9:00 no we actually don't go through that yoghurt much last year <.>we it only used to last about two breakfasts when we used to buy that yoghurt yeah like with the big ones we had considering that i think <.>only only the three of us eat it but we'll eat it <{><[>every morning <[>oh who doesn't eat it rhys oh <{><[>right <[>he eats about twenty weetbix i think oh really yeah yeah laughs <&>9:14
