Happy New Year to everyone. I shall be blogging again shortly. At the moment things are a bit hectic flat-hunting which is always a challenge and all consuming in London. This time I am looking for a whole flat to share with my boyfriend (and my kitty) which is exciting. Fingers crossed something perfect will come up fast so I can get back to doing other things.
It has been interesting deciding on the location because we work on opposite sides of London from each other and nowhere near central London we have been out for walks in areas to see what they are like, so I've been able to see some new parts of London which I always like.
While I knew rentals are pretty crazy in London right now with more people looking than places available because of people not being able to afford to buy. Still I was put in a bit of a tail spin yesterday after viewing a flat that was advertised as a 1 double bedroom (to be a double bedroom you must be able to fit a double bed in it). The ad for this flat as it turns out used a photo of the upstairs living room, which as it turns out is double the size of the one in the apartment available. The "bedroom" was an alcove in the hall that lead to the bathroom with a double bed in it, a hall my boyfriend had to turn to fit through the doorway no less, and no window! This is not a room in my world. It was quite shocking!

Move to Camden
Tweasel settled into her new home nicely, enjoying the view of the garden out the window and making friends with my 2 flatmates winning them over to her cuteness in no time. It seemed she remembered who I was and we were back to our old routines.
But there was trouble, it turned out my flatemate/landlady meant I will see how allergic I am go to your cat (not I will deal with my allergies). So after 2 weeks she informed me she was reacting to Tweasel too much and I would have to move. I spent the night awake stressed at the thought of another round of flat hunting with a cat. When the morning finally arrived I decided there was no point worrying about it, it would work out, and all would be fine.
On the way to work I posted on my facebook "Flat hunting again". By the time I got to work a friend of mine Nat asked if I would like to join her and another friend of ours Tez in looking for a flat. Living with people I knew sounded like a nice idea so I said yes. By the end of the day Tez said she knew of the perfect flat and we should meet up the next day and she would tell us about it. So in just over 24 hours I had a flat and would be living with people I knew and liked. Tez's idea was that Nat stay in the 4 bedroom town-house she was in (a place I had stayed over at myself on occasion, smack in the middle of Camden Town and all the markets) and we would find a 4th person. The landlord said a cat would be fine and so all was sorted, 2 weeks later I was moving to Camden!
