Update :o
An update of updatiness, actually quite an important one.
This is because things have been very rushed and internet isn't very readily available.
So, last wednesday at yates suggestion I returned to the essexlands to nose at a few flats with him, to see what was going on. As he had said he'd seen a really good one (take into account the fact we'd only been looking a week so I hadn't been expecting anything much, only really just decided to move to essex). So, once i'd seen it we pretty much decided to take it, perks include:
- 2 large bedrooms, large living room.
- Being totally redecorated.
- Estate agent that is fine with me being unemployed initially.
- Nice and close to a train station and town centre.
- Very close to takeaways of all descriptions (chinese, indian, fish/chips, italian, pizza hut, kebab, kfc, noodles, bagels, subway, and more, multiple of sum. By close i mean all within a 5 minute walk. (This one might be a con).
- Cheap price for the area.
So yeah, looks like we could well have keys in a week. Only real con is its on a main road, but its double glazed so thats no big deal.
Next i decided on thursday to sign up in job agency's. Went into town and strolled into one called Reed. Spoke to a woman and within 2 minutes was sent to someone else. She then told me if the position is still going she can prolly get me an interview early next week, and i stand a good chance of getting the job. Is helpdesking business customers for an ISP, gonna be a bit boring I expect, but be a nice chance to learn and pay is good enough!
So, yeah. Its been rushed and all, and I will be back in canterbury (probably this weekend getting stuff, then hopefully keynestock weekend, then definitly when all essex friends are off to rock am ring so i'm not all alone here). So we better organise things!
OH! Another thing. The flat is unfurnished, we've scavenged excellently so far, getting most things. We are only missing one thing really, a fridge/freezer. If anyone has one (preferably essex based) which they are trying to get rid of either free or for a fee, please tell me. Will discuss with Mr Yates and hopefully take it off your hands :). Also we are after a 2nd sofa (sofa bed we are thinking of). Same again, anyone getting rid of one, gimme a shout, we'll try and sort something out!
Final thing, anyone know if its possible to get a cable company to do a 6 month contract? we'll prolly be in the house 12 but i dont wanna get stuck in a 12 monther if possible. Virgin media's sight only says 12 month :(.
Thats all for now folks!
