Well...today was interesting.
We got up early to go and sign the contract for our new house,
(992 Richmond Street if anyone would like to google map it!), we should
hopefully be getting the keys tomorrow so pretty excited to move and finally
be able to unpack and get settled. Living out of a suitcase definitely makes
things a little harder.
So at the moment the house is completely unfurnished as apparently in London
it isnt the landlords job to provide furniture. But hopefully the housing
agency should provide us with at least matresses to sleep on by tomorrow
then I guess we'll go from there. We also think there may be another
person who has signed for our house today too. So there is only one room left
to be filled! Looking forward to meeting all the housemates.
After signing for the house the day seemed to go pretty downhill. We spent
almost 3 hours queing in Uni to try and pay for the health insurance
only to find out you cant pay by Visa. Very frustrating! This also meant
we couldn't pick up our bus pass, so we have been spending too much on
bus fares everyday.
After several other incidents of bad luck, by the end of the day we didn't
end up doing everything I'd hoped but I do have a Canadian bank account
now and hopefully should be sorting a Canadian phone number tomorrow!
We treated ourselves to fish and chips in the evening, after really quite
stressful day of running around in the heat. Weirdly the place was actually
called Walker's Fish and Chips, tempted to try for a family discount.
Anyway now we're all just relaxing on the deck of the hostel, tonight Cait
and I have been demoted to the 4 bed dorm with an italian man and woman.
The hostel really is quite nice and its great being around so many young
people but it will be nice to get into our own house!
Hoping for better luck tomorrow and a little less expense, its also supposed
to be even hotter so a tan would be nice!
