I was sooooo annoyed that I missed the first direct bus yesterday. I don't hail it as being my entire fault, as the buses should really state their number on front and back and NOT all pull up at the same time...but nonetheless, I had to pay another £3 and wait for another 3 1/2 hours (which I whiled away with coffee and the internet - still fixing up my resume for a creative recruitment company I've applied to) and then caught the 1.30 bus.
I had a 'house looking' appointment that was originally scheduled for 3pm, moved to 6.30, but because there was an accident on the road we were later than expected and pretty much missed the appointment.
Was still able to go to the house without the agent and have a look around (probably better, actually!) but wasn't really keen on the house. Nasty kitchen, needed heaps of repairs, lounge smelt...rubbish fridge...It was cheapish though, and 15mins walking distance to the station and city.
I'm holding out for something better atm - going to see another one this afternoon. It's a bit further out (have to catch the bus) and there's about 2-3 appartment houses on some farm property or something. eek. sounds ominous. But apparently there's a house with 3 other working professionals in it, and a student house there as well. So must be kinda ok.
Hoping to have an interview with the creative recruitment agency later today, or tomorrow in Leeds, if I can make my way there! (busing back down to London for the weekend, and to grab the rest of my gear...at 4.30 tomorrow - fingers crossed!, though this one should be way easier than catching a bus from London).
Might catch the train back up instead. It only takes 2 hours instead of 4 1/2...and they're harder to miss. (just that the bus is almost half the cost of a train!)
Hope you're all well and having fun keeping in touch, as I am!
