Moving House

4 May 2005

I have a decent excuse for the lack of posts over the last few days; I’ve been moving house! I now live in sunny Islington, which is much more convenient then not-so-sunny Kingston – which after 4 years of living there, I think I pretty much used up.

Notes from moving:

  • Leave More Time to Move – We left about a month to find a place and move, and we ended up moving on the we had to move out – which was a little bit hectic.
  • Foxtons are Bastards – Don’t use them! Really! Part of the reason that we moved so late was that we had a place all ready to go with Foxtons, but then they screwed us around and we had to pull out. Also, they tried to charge us £370 for the privilege of moving with them! Compared to the £140 we ended up paying. They also wanted 6 weeks deposit, as opposed to 4.
  • T-Mobile Hotspots are Expensive – We now live above a Starbucks (people who know me may find this amusing), and hence get WiFi reception and my internet addiction is such that I couldn’t resist the temptation…
  • Boxes of old Edge magazines are heavy – Must..resist…hoarding…instinct…

Soon to come, some thoughts on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (Hint: It’s very nice).
