Day of spending I went shopping today. I bought new jeans, a bag, a fifteen pound umbrella (coz my other one broke) and then lunch. After lunch we headed into town on the tube. Totenham Court today. Nice area, Id like to go back. There are heaps of electronic stores all down the street. After walked around for a while we came to Forbidden Planet. I could have spent all day there, happily. Nicola, as expected, didn't want to be there longer than a q...

By the time we'd walked home (5 mins), it had turned overcast. So I changed into jeans and grabbed a jacket. We set out again to see the flat. The landlord was a...

Good news Went to see a flat today. It was ok, quite expensive; in a very convenient area, but a little scummy if you walk down the road. I'm not sure if we'll take it or not. We said we'd call them to let them know.On the way back home we had our first Kebab from London. It was quite nice I must say, but we bought it from a fairly dodgy takeaway...
