WE HAVE A FLAT

Hello All

Hope this finds you all well and good.... So just a quick up date cos their are people waiting to get onto the computer and they are giving me the evil eye.

Well i have great news...WE HAVE FOUND A FLAT!!! Matty and I have been looking for only 2 days, not bad we thought. After day one we decided that the best thing to do was to go through an agent, we did have to pay them a fee but it was worth it as they gave us a few addresses and appointments to see some places and this meant that we didn't need to continue looking for places on the net and we didn't need to ring around heaps of places and make our own appointments! Man oh man flats here are so different to home! If you have ever complained about how small your place is, you'll take it all back once you have been to London!! The first few places we saw were studio rooms, meaning they have a kitchen and sometimes a bathroom included. The one place we saw in the centre of London, just up from Oxford str was a nice sizes room with kitchen included, but it had no common sitting area so this meant that we would simply live in our room and that was it. We thought No to this as we are social people and need some other people around us. Also the flat was on the top level so all those flights of stairs would not have been after a big one out in town!! The next two places were shocking!! Im not even going to go there.... Then we had one last place to look at for the day.... and BINGO... We knew straight away that the fourth place was the one we were after.
It is a huge flat, 3 stories high with 7 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, 3 toilets seperate, 4 or so washing machines and a lounge common area. At least i think thats right, we will let you know more once we have moved in. Also the other flat mates are mainly Kiwis and Aussies. So needless to say, we fit right in. :) And also if there are Kiwis there it means that the place must be good, especially if they have seen some of the places we did! We only move in on the 22nd but Ray is going to see if his boss will let us stay with him for a couple of nights so we don't have to keep paying the hostel. Keep those fingers crossed for us ;-)

The weather is on the up now, i don't think it is suppose to rain again for at least another couple of days, so I'm meeting Matty after work and we are going to go to Big Ben etc as i still have not been there. I will post some pics next time around.

Now my only mission is to find a job. Again i am going to go through an agency as this seems to be the best thing to do from what i have heard! So i will find one today and go from there. I have seen a few job vacancies around, but i do want to get the best i can and they know a lot more than me!
So hopefully next time we talk i will have a job!! Again keep those fingers crossed for me :)

Love you lots
Speak again soon
