I had to pay for the repair myself, so this month I’m really
out of pocket
After losing his job, he’s just trying to
keep his head above water
The flat is nice, but the rent really
cost an arm and a leg
I’ve told the landlord about the heating problem, so now
the ball is in his court
I’ve only been in this city for a few weeks — I’m still
finding my feet
Living with other people is fine, but only
in small doses
Everyone remembers their first flat very positively — they’re probably looking at it
through rose-tinted glasses
They were laughing at my haircut — they were
taking the mickey out of me
I didn’t expect all the extra costs, so I ended up
out of pocket
At first everything felt strange, but gradually I started to
find my feet
We can’t afford to relax yet — we’re just trying to
keep our head above water
The hotel was comfortable and well located, but it
cost an arm and a leg
I’ve done everything I can, so at this point
the ball is in their court
He keeps saying everything was better before — he’s looking at the past
through rose-tinted glasses
