The hunt is on....

... for somewhere to live.

It's not fun. At all.

(Nicki - In need your Gumtree skills so you could scope me put the good houses before they go online!)

In fact, I think I have seen about 8 houses, and, I'm over it.

I get nervous beforehand because I'm trying to impress these people and make believe that I'm the perfect housemate and much better than the hordes of others who have been looking, all within a 5 second window. My nerves make me extremely chatty, but I end up saying really dumb things. I then I decide the room is perfect and act to keen. And then I never hear from them again. All that stress for nothing and I'm back at square one. I'm finding that I need a Gumtree.com fix every 5 seconds, constantly checking if anyone has posted up a new room that fits my budget. Is that healthy?

So, my question - what is the secret to finding a house??? And is it really too much to ask to find a house like this, maybe around Kensington or Knightsbridge, possibly overlooking Hyde Park, for around £400 per month?





Surely Yes?
