. . . Recently I have had to reassess my budget after tax, rent and bill increases and the only way I can deal with it is keep my overheads low for the time being. I am currently paying £25 a month for my internet so, unfortunately, this means that from next month I will have to sacrifice my connection for the time being (I have evaluated to about six-eight months or so).

I have made this thread so people don't ask 'where is Bobby?' in the 'Where are they now?' thread. :)

We will miss you while you are briefly away. Hurry back. :)

Hey Bobby doesn't the changes to the bottom tax rate help you?

Anyway - you gotta do what you gotta do.  Keep sae and see you back on the boards when your budget allows

I'll miss you here Bobby as you're a top notch guy . Times are hard and I'm sure it was difficult decision. good luck and I hope to see you real soon.

I'm not sure whether you have heard in the news (I only just caught up with it) about the 10p tax rate that pretty much caused UK political rebellion negatively affecting people in the lower working tax bracket. Gordon Brown has announced a 2.7 billion tax cut for the lower tax brackets but I'm not too sure what that means for me just yet.

I will know where I stand in six months time or so in preparation for when I lose my Sunday premium (about £100 a month) in a year and a half's time.

Anyhow, it won't be for too long and I'll be back before you know it.

Thanks to your posts, folks and will be here until the start of next month (I made this thread up so I can't back down on my decision, lol).

you certainly can back down if you have a change of heart/mind.

Technically I can but this is a matter of willpower and discipline (something I completely lack, lol) as well as finances. I won't be gone too long for you to miss me. :)

I had a feeling that's what this thread was about :(

Come back as soon as you can Bobby :)

Take care, Bobby. We'll miss ya. Hopefully you can find an internet service that is more affordable for you.

Hack the internet, Bobby!

Short of that, I hope you are able to get back here as soon as possible.

Hope your "vacation" away from us won't be too long.  You will be missed.

Awwwwww, thanks folks. :)

I will shop around and see what else is available in the internet world but Virgin Media tends to be high quality with unlimited download potential.

I know what you mean Bob, the internet is so addicting lol, it's pretty much become my basic form of entertainment when I'm home ever since the late '90s. Sometimes you have to take time away to do other things in life (I'm gonna have to do the same when I start a new job myself).

Good luck with finding a better provider if you do, but if not, take care dude, I'll miss ya.

Be back soon Bob,I miss you.  :(

Be back soon Bob,I miss you.  :(

Take care in all you do.

We will certainly miss you , Rob!

Good luck come back soon.
