No Holiday for Tonxey

Grr. Bl**dy extension. Bl**dy money problems.
Well, looks like yours truly is going without any holiday this year. At all. My parents' insistence that we have the extension built onto our house has now, finally, led to serious money problems, which are now affecting me!
Apparently, I'm not going to survive at university if I don't spend about 40 hours a week (yup, full-time) this 'holiday' earning money. So then: no programming, no more going out, no leisure time at all - it's working all week, and then getting on with house work at the weekends, no doubt. I finish college and my A-Level exams, and /this/ is how I'm rewarded!
It's all their bl**dy fault! 
Please direct all complaints about my prolonged and frequent absences to my parents.

Bah. I'm tempted to say 'Such is life', in a matter-of-fact kinda way, but I'm not the one on the receiving end of all this. Not a good situation to be in - Although, going out is over-rated, if you can get to h2g2.

Hah!
Well, I still haven't managed to get a job, so my free time's been put to good use.

Oh yes?
One might wonder if TDGN & DGI will continue to be typically non-corporate and free afterall...
