i need to give medals to a few people... you, you and you. eheheh. does a virtual one count? lol. don't even know how i'd make that. ;p
so, guess what? the first flat was THE ONE. it's perfect. ♥ the only downside... it's 20 £ a week more than what we thought it was (stupid landlord put 200 £ a week in the ad, but then decided it wanted 220 because he's just done it up). but in theory that's not a problem because i can pay the same as last year and sophie & paul together can pay a bit more (and get the bigger bedroom). when we went in they were still painting the walls, and the floor has to go in (wooden floor ♥), and they have to put furniture in and all, but... it's perfect. the rooms are huge (bigger than my room last year), so i'll finally have desk & computer in my bedroom, nice living room, big kitchen, and it's on the third floor so we get lots of light in. the building itself is a nice victorian house, with another three flats. really nice, quiet street, finsbury park is literally three minutes away. it's gorgeous.
we have been looking at other places as well (we had to, come on, can't just take the first one that comes along), but none of them compared. there was a really nice one, about 5 minutes away from where we lived last year, and it was nice, but... we just fell in love with the first one. still, we're looking at more places tomorrow (my feet are crying and falling off). today i think we've seen six (three nice ones, the other ones... blah), tomorrow another 4 or 5 or whatever comes up in loot. talk about a flat hunting machine.
i'm dead. i'm just so dead. i wish i could cuddle up with my baby and tell him everything but nope, he's in harlow and i'm here. sucks.
