Day 6-8 house hunting:

We had decided on a budget, but after viewing a few properties and seeing the response we got from estate agents when we said we’d like to spend that much we decided to look into spending a bit more. For instance, there was a place for 150 pounds per week in a studio apartment and you literally had to cook your meals next to your bed, and there was also another place with a crazy lady upstairs. Because we don’t have jobs yet, we have to pay 3 month’s rent up front, which when you convert to AUD is a LOT. On day 3 of searching we found a nice 1 bed flat in a suburb called Hendon, which is in north-west London and about 25 to 30 minutes from Central London on the tube. We move in on Saturday. The next priority will be finding a job to pay the bills.

For Daniel’s birthday on February 4th we didn’t do anything too special as we were so focused on house hunting. We went to dinner at an Indian restaurant and it was very tasty.
