Hey guys I'm having the best time ever! We just spent 10 hours shopping on 5th avenue and I got some coolio stuff (incl loads from urban outfitters - it's a bit cheaper here so I'm taking advantage!) Tomorrow we're taking in the museums and then going to CBGBs in the evening for a gig (not too sure what gig exactly but we'll take whatever's going). Woo! Anyway my times runnin out so I'm off! Miss yis all, mwah!

Aideen

Dette that sucks majorly! I say smack that bitch up. Hope you get everything sorted. Anyhoo folks, I'm off tomorrow, going to London to stay overnight at Louise's and then flying to New York the next morning! Woo-hoo. I'll try and send a coupla postcards if I can. Luv yas! And once again good luck Dette.

bronagh

ah dette that sucks. just let her go and live in a cardboard box somewhere and that will teach her. house hunting is crap that's why me and debs could't be bothered and opted to live with mentalists.

ok guys bear with me a minute i just need to rant for a bit. sorry aideen and helen - uve heard most of this. but arjhgslvkjhfbdal!12R£ !!!

next year im living with harriet (from my course, shes cool) and her cousin louisa, who seems ok enough. louisa is living and workin in derby but coming to london this summer to get a job here long term. "so" i ask, "what sort of areas do u want to live in?" "well" shes says "battersea would be ideal. and there definately has to be a pub nearby". she also refused to pay a penny more than £100 a week which makes things extremely difficult for the area, cos its a nice area.

anyway, after trudging around london all fucking week and wrecking my shoes cos of it, what do i find, a beautiful apartment in battersea - wooden floors, new kitchen, secure entrance, roof terrace, overlooking the park. basically everything she wanted for £305 a week. perfect. i arranged viewings, transprt, blah blah. i opted to take the double room and pay the £5 difference if the other two were happy with the other rooms. not a problem, they said.

only problem we had was that landlord - decent enough guy, not like some of the sleazes weve met - had to start the lease from july 1st, cos he cant have it lying empty all summer. he agreed though to let us pay £200 a week from July to October, a good deal. before i said anything, louisa said "oh ill pay full rent for those months cos u guys wont even be living here". "u sure?" i said, cos i was prepared to split it evenly up until then. but she was actually adament. fair enough.

i arranged a second viewing today with harriet and my brother and we looked round. harriet was under instruction to make sure louisa had enough room for all her stuff. turns out the small room is too small for louisa. and to be fair, it is tiny, there is a bed and a built in wardrobe just enough room for a square table and chair, not even a desk (which she doesnt need, i would) but then i fuckin offered to take that room to close the deal.

i also had to make sure landlord would provide some extra furniture and paying arrangements. oh wait, suddenly louisa has decided her mystery job which she hasnt got in london isnt going to start until mid august so why should she pay extra for july? what the fuck?!? but ok, mysely and harriet will pay an extra £20 a week for july if ul shut the fuck up. yeah, just enjoy living away from me presently.

okay i dont want to sound up myself (bear in mind as u read that im fuckin ragin) but basically i did absolutely everything. so all ready for contract signing. suddenly cant contact lousia. whats that? u need more time? what the fuck im going home on tues morning, wont be back til october - i would very much like to have something to show for all my efforts this week. finally get through to her - what? paying the 6 weeks half rent that u wont be here overjuly and august is too much even though the apartment is really really good value for money and well end up spending that money somewhere else anyway?!?!?!?!?!!?1?!?'lwKEGJ !!! 9pm tonight - when i was planning to sign 2m - is when she lets me know its off. i could fucking strangle her i really could. fucks sake.

sorry i feel like krakatoa. and i apologise for the excessive swearing and boring ranting. she had better find the sweetest place when she comes to live her for us.


oh yeah - did i mention that there was a pub 15 seconds away?

Aideen
