Flatmates = Friends

I'm on a bit of a high at the moment, cos I've just found a couple of flatmates! I've been really stressed and pissed off about moving, cos everywhere is REALLY expensive at the moment. I'm currently paying £675 a month and it's not leaving me with too much money to play with. However, I'm moving, cos my current flat is nice, but expensive, and so badly soundproofed that I can never get a decent night's sleep.

On the off chance that my mate Russ might need a flatmate, I sent him an email asking if he did. The reply was "Yeah, I am, how did you know?"
"I didn't know, I just need somewhere to live!" was my answer!

So, hopefully, if everything turns out alright, I'll be moving in here:



The house comes on the market on Monday, and so nobody else has looked at it yet. I went out to Pizza Hut with Russ and Ian tonight, and decided we all want to go ahead. Tomorrow morning I will phone up, and if they will let me, put 'first dibs' on the house. For anyone who may not be familiar with this expression, before you ask, I don't know where the phrase comes from, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out if you look on the Internet. Jive Suckas.

Anyway, the specs of the house are:

  • Four double bedroom three storey terraced townhouse in sought after residential area close to the city centre.
  • Living room on first floor with julliette balcony, television, dvd player and video.
  • Kitchen with light wood units and patio doors to garden, fitted gas hob and electric oven, freestanding silver fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine.
  • Ground floor and first floor double bedroom both have freestanding wardrobes.
  • Two double bedrooms on the second floor both with fitted wardrobes, one with dressing room.
  • Bathroom, bath, shwr, wc. GCH, DG.
  • Pebbled and grassed garden with patio furniture.
  • Allocated parking.
  • Furnished £900 pcm
There will actually be 4 of us. Russ - a web developer, Ian - a pimp, and a Planning Officer for the Council, Lorna - a trainee account, and Me - an Oracle Database Administrator.

Also, Lorna is female, and thus will have female friends. I can imagine the parties, the bikinis and water fights in the garden now. At least that's how it plays out in my head. At the very least, I'll get some hammock time in. Wooo!

Between four of us, a hardcore internet connection will be required methinks. I wonder how much 4mb costs....?

So... woopitty woop woop! The rent will cost £225 each, and then bills! I'm gonna have money again! I think I might pay off my debts, while I'm in the habit of watching what I spend....

And best of all, I'll make lots of new friends! My social life has been a little stagnant recently. That's not to say anything bad about my current friends, but the list has gotten a little small for my liking!

Anyway, been in a great mood now, gotta go out and do stuff. Hooray for stuff.

move quick and you won't have to sort out that disgusting sink of yours. If you do have a party where you wear a bikini and have pillow fights, please do not invite me or post pics of the shindig later.

Yeah... the new's ain't so great after all - I didn't realise but there are 1 or 2 people booked in to look at this before us. I'm hoping they'll turn the place down.

I doubt it though, from the looks of it, the first person to view it will probably let it...
