Oh I read that at work and was gonna reply now, but ok. Hope it all works out, anyway.
... I finally got most of the boxes unpacked from my apartment? Spare room and entrance hall are still a junk heap but the rest is almost looking ok. Still need a carpet in the living room and a paint job basically everywhere.
Ah, I got rid of it cause I solved it. The issue was a new friend I hardly know wanted to move in with me, I do not with her for those who didn't see. I told her I wasn't too sure about things and it was all up in the air at the moment for me about when I'd be moving cause work busy periods pick up for me soon! She said she was in no rush but it was okay if it wouldn't work for me. Awkward! What would you have done, Tynic?
Err, its beautiful Tynic!!! It looks so cosy and nice Are you feeling more settled now everythings unpacked?
Little bit! But I've got to head off to Australia for maybe up to three months on Sunday, so I've been spending the last couple of weeks trying to sort out paying bills and stuff while I'm gone.
I'm not sure what I would have done - I've lived with friends and it's worked, and friends where it hasn't. I think cohabitation either draws you very close together, or ends up putting barriers between you as you try to negotiate boundaries, etc. The latter is more likely, and so in general I wouldn't room with a friend for a long period unless I knew them very well and had a very good feeling about it, or I didn't much care if we stayed friends or whatnot. So yeah if you can bow out gracefully it might be an option to try.
Three months? How come...? I think your place looks lovely, the kinda place I'd love!
Oh phew, I think I did the right thing then! I've just heard bad things about it so I'm glad I was able to. At least this time round when I look for somewhere new I've no deadline and I can take my time waiting for something good to come up.

tynic your home looks very cozy and i would love to bring over some dinner and then leave again because that would be creepy if i just invited myself over for dinner
A few of my apartments had the washer/dryer in a press but everywhere else I've been has them in the kitchen because it has easier access to the water.

It's never been strange to me?
Do you have to fill your laundry with water by hand? Because otherwise this isn't making any more sense to me.
Bathroom is quite common, if you don't have a stand alone laundry room. Britain is the only place I've been that regularly whacks a clothes washer in the kitchen, although I realise that here it is standard practice.
But when you say 'live in the next four months' do you mean stay for a while, or live-live?
Cause unless you wanna teach English for a bit, getting a job overseas might not be too breezy.
All the washing machines I've seen here in Amsterdam have been in the kitchen. Wait that's a lie, one actually had it's own room, which was really super bizarre and the entire apartment had a terrible layout so that ones a bad example.

Either I suppose, I can write from anywhere
I have dreams of fleeing the states but I like my friends and speak English so I'll honestly prob wind up in San Francisco or NYC

I am officially moved in. Just have to start buying auxiliary furniture (book/dvd shelving, ect...) and other living stuff (like food).
Because before all we had was alcohol.
Just beer and liquor...
I don't see why you needed the bread, you already had liquid fiber in the beer!
Actually bargain shopping for a place to live feels weird and alien. I don't like it.

can i come over
that place looks insanely cozy
... on what's on the menu :winky:
Sorry you gotta head cross the world and back still though
although I have to ask, why is there a circular window in your dishwasher/why is the laundry in your kitchen?
I just
wow
I mean, it looked like a laundry but I thought even the English aren't that crazy

It has a window so you can watch it go round and round and round.
I need guidance
NY? San Francisco? Berlin? Nova Scotia? Where should I move guys
I have no idea
No wait don't go to Nova Scotia are you out of your freaking mind??
i've had apartments with the w/d in the kitchen AREA, but usually in a closet space
I dunno, it just makes sense to me to have them there. Easier access on the ground floor and near the back door when installing them.
Maybe I'm just PG tips addled like you say though!!
I'm silently shitting my pants.

It seems to be a space thing.
