Who Knows

Well viewers, I thought things were going ok, but it's all gone a bit backwards. The job that I was sure I had has now gone, and it would seem there are no flats to be had, so it's back to the drawing board. We found a few apartments yesterday that had been advertised in Saturdays paper, but they had already gone when we phoned, and there were none to be seen in todays paper. We are now looking into hostels where you can stay on a more permanent basis, as if we continue to stay at the YHA we will have to change rooms at least every 6 nights (though it's likely to be more frequent), and that idea bums me out. Sally's feeling ok, she's a lot more positive than I am (I think the job thing's just thrown me as i only found out on my way here) . Just polishing off her CV as we speak. Anyhoo, we've bought a lottery ticket for tonight, so if we win - problem solved!! That's what I'm going for - as Sky Masterson sings "Luck be a lady tonight". Kt.xx
P.S. Thanks for the answers guys, we feel very informed now.

    Halifax was mentioned on the radio and i thought of you!
    Thought i would just leave you a wee note again - two in one day!! Best of luck with the Job hunting though you won't really need it. i was just writing a letter to the slovakian consulate in edinburgh and noticed that i spelt it with a little s but i can't be bothered re-doing it so i shall just have to run the risk of them declaring war on the bureau. Oh well ... and hi to ainsley if she happens to be on your web site too :)

    Saw musical on Newsround tonight - spot the teacher. It has started in Canada and doesn't have very good reviews, despite it costing millions to make. Don't worry don't think u are missing out on too much.

    Hello Susan & The C.L. (let's leave it at that, for reasons of cyber-modesty).

    Nice blog - thanks for inviting me. I know for a fact you didn't win the lottery, but have you found a place yet?

    I am in Christchurch. It is warm but I am cold, as I have a cold. Boo for that.

    Off out to explore in a bit. Give my regards to Wellington.
