Are you thinking about flat sharing?

Cause I think you might find that will take like forever if the future flat mates decide if its yes or no that is.

Omg what a new chapter for you though

Good luck with it all Smithy. You deserve it.

Out of interest, what is a ballpark figure for savings in order to move to Manchester?

By the looks of it, it doesn’t matter how much I have in savings I need a job first, so that’s been my priority this week (along with sorting out importation documentation for my car)

Tell you what this flat hunting thing is an absolute ****ing nightmare

Property appears online I email same day to book a viewing, nobody gets back to me, I call no answer, I chase and somebody else has already agreed the let

On the positive side though I’ve got a second Zoom interview with a marketing firm his evening
