Ix-nay on the ould-may

Struggling with 7 page tenancy application form wielding only a lack of rental history and a belief that all real estate agents are out to wreck my life.

Sireesha and I went out househunting again today and did five in 75 mins (why is it that they always put inspections on at the same time?). Only one was worth applying for, unfortunately the one that had about 40 people turn up for the inspection.

Then there was one that was FANTASTIC... until we saw the grotty bathroom. The kitchen wasn't great either. Why o why? I'm willing to forgive rooms that are not quite right - a bit small maybe, no built-ins or a bad view but I have standards when it comes to bathrooms and kitchens, dammit! I mean, these are the places where you clean yourself and prepare your food, the centres of health and hygiene. So they ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE GROTTY.

And ix-nay on the ould-may. Or have I already played that joke? Ah, I'm so tired. I'm so over it. Will check in tomorrow with the week's updates.
