Finally we have a place to call home for 6 months, our first time living together. We have two bedrooms, room for guests and a little back yard. Its very small compared to back home, but it is the biggest place we had looked at here.
The last unit we applied for at an estate agent also fell through. The estate agent phoned us a couple of days later to tell us that someone else got in before us. Then she was going to take us to look at a couple more units the next day. As we were walking down to the estate agent for our appoinment to view the properties she phoned us to tell us that one place had gone and the other place she couldn't get the keys for it. So we decided that we'd had enough and would just go private.
We had a look at two terrace houses. We were contacted by the landlords from an ad we posted on the gumtree website on the net. The second one we absolutely loved, they said that there was another couple that looked at it and they were looking for something a long term, but they would let us know the next day. So we weren't really expecting for them to approve us. The next day though they phoned to tell us that they picked us over the other couple, because they liked us.
We moved in on Sunday 9th. 5 days after we first viewed it. Our landlords are really lovely people, they drove us around the area after we first moved in and drove us to the grocery store, so we could stock up the fridge and then back home again.
The next day we went into town to apply for jobs at the recruitment agencies. Candice had two job offers that day and another the next day. She started work on the Thursday. So that has left me on my own job hunting, without much luck. Candice is working a hospital doing admin. Its her first day today so I don't know many details, but I'm sure she'll let you all know soon. I walked down with her to the bus stop this morning and waved goodbye, it is our first day apart in 4 months.
