I'm worried now as I didn't get here till 7:30. Thanks for that...

Broke up with Ms Crow a couple of weeks ago and had a subsequent sulky week or two I thought were best kept off the board, and this week I've been frantically looking for somewhere to live. Think I might have found somewhere though - going to phone them back in ten minutes or so and hope (a) the room's still available and (b) they liked me.

The final straw was when she came home to find me curled up on the sofa, cuddling a cushion and weeping into my glass of chilled rosé as I watched the series finale of Glee.

And to be honest the intensive house-hunt has been quite enjoyable, even if did end up walking a circuit of some six or seven miles round Streatham last night to view four properties.

I'm going for the large maisonette near Streatham Hill, sharing with three women. Seemed like a suitably lively house and the rent was wonderfully cheap (for London).
If that's gone, it's a toss-up between sharing with the quiet city-type in the same area or going all the way over to Surrey Quays to a lovely house which is down the road from a friend, but where I haven't met the other housemates and which is pushing my budget somewhat.
And if they're gone, I guess it's living with the young Polish couple and sprog in Elephant and Castle.

I smell a sitcom!
Nah, not really, that sounds superb, hope it all works out well, and you don't end up sleeping in the kitchen!

We'll see...just tried to call her and she didn't pick up. I'll give it a couple of minutes.

I can see you in the Richard O'Sullivan role.

They might not have liked the smell though, so prepare for rejection.
Hope you're ok and that.

It was the first time I'd really explored it myself, but I think it's basically between Brixton and Tooting, with Clapham/Balham just off to the Northwest.

How come you're looking there if that's not where you were before?

I had a look to see what was available and there wasn't a lot that came up in Wimbledon. I decided to get something sorted this week as I'm going away next week so I thought I'd take a look round, and if I liked the area, I'd consider it. Could be an interesting change of scenery.

Let us know how the house hunt goes, I'm sure you could do with some good news.

I have catnapped for the last 24 hours and I predict more.
Can you go to the shop for me?
I need milk and bread.
