Phone Bill!

So if you didn't know the currency in Malaysia is Riggit and on the exchange rate is £1 = 6.5 RM. As you can see it is makes living there very cheap and affordable. But I didn't realize how cheap it is until I moved back to the UK. When I first moved back I would go shopping and without thinking I would exchange Pounds into Riggit and would then think twice about buying it.

Another example of how expensive the UK has become is: I just got my monthly phone bill for November and it came to £87! Which I wasn't thrilled about and I'm just happy my dad doesn't receive the bill. But it hasn't come to that amount just because I like to talk, the problem with my family living overseas is that I'm often making calls to my parents every other day. So you should be grateful that you don't have to talk to your parents that often... and that your bill doesn't exceed £40 or anywhere near my total.
