Today I move into my new flat. Okay, it's not entirely mine - I will be sharing it with two other people - but that's not the point. It's sort of mine, you know?

I'm trying to arrange most of them for next weekend, so I can start looking for somewhere permanent before I start my new job on Monday week. I know I can stay with my aunt and uncle as long as I need to, but I'd rather get ( Read more... )
