House hunt, season finalé

Tuesday 16th May

Fingers and toes crossed, we have a house… I went today to put a deposit down, which should mean that everything’s done and dusted bar us handing over our reference forms, which will be done by the end of tomorrow. It’ll be a relief to not have to sift endless listings anymore, and worry about al getting over-stressed :) but seriously, I can actually chill on the weekends without having to commute two and a half hours every few days, plus have an actual wardrobe to choose clothes from, what luxury! That’s most welcome after having spent almost the entire weekend in shorts and flip-flops, come rain or shine, lol.

Incidentally, Notting Hill is awesome. Loads of nice houses, not much ghetto, and funky bars and restaurants. They even have private parks, one of which me & Gurpal managed to get locked inside. Ha. And we were wondering why people were giving us strange looks.. Hrmm. Still, when you pay £6000000 (count those zeros) for a house I guess there have to be some perks..

Anyway, all things permitting, I shall be in Balham from the end of May. To metaphorically use the words of the great Stewie Griffin, of Family Guy notoriety,

“So broccoli, mother says you’re very good for me. Well, I’m afraid I’m no good for you!”

Bring it on.
