Following a few unsuccessful days job hunting in Bath, Jess and I decided the best option to find work was to move to London. So we got on a bus and headed back to London. After checking into a hostel we set about house hunting.
It did not take long for us to find a place suitable. Really we were happy to take anything reasonably cheap and comfortable. We contacted a guy who organises houses in the North East as he seemed to be offering the cheapest in the newspaper. After showing us a couple of real dumps he showed us a room in a house where we could see ourselves living and at a cheap rate. So we signed on the dotted line.
The reason we signed so quickly was because we really didn’t want to spend days searching for accommodation. The room was £55 a week which included all bills, free wireless internet and sky TV. We would also be paying month by month rent and we would only have to give two weeks notice to get out of the contract.
To celebrate Jess and I went to see the Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre. I have wanted to see the musical ever since i arrived in England and I really enjoyed it. Although it has been playing almost every night for almost ten years it still attracts a large audience. The songs are familiar and the costumes are great. Well worth the money and a great way to begin our time in London.
We went back to the hostel and stayed the night in a ten bed dorm. The fire alarm went off just after midnight then continued to go off randomly throughout the night. Not because there was a fire just because somebody had drunkenly smashed the fire alarm. The following morning we were very excited to be checking out of the hostel and into our own room in our new place in Leyton.
I enjoyed unpacking my bag for the first time in a over a month to rediscover clothes I had forgotten I had, for the last month I had been wearing pretty much the same clothes every day. It was good to be able to wear something different.
