Why all the boxes??

Moving. All those boxes, the packing, the lifting, the not knowing which box you put that item in (unless you're organised and you accurately label the boxes), the leaving of the known into the unknown.


I moved, on Saturday, to my new home. One where I hope to be a long time. This new home comes with a couple  of flatmates, one English girl, C, who I have been getting to know over the past couple of days and one who, on Sunday morning was so excited to see a new person in the house, she peed on the carpet, sending me into a fit of laughter and C into mortification. I'm talking about a dog of course. A 6 month old jack russell  pup. She is such a cutie!

Last week was manic, between working late, trying to organize the move and getting eye-strain (all day and night in front of a screen, at work, at home, on my mobile, will do that apparently), left me no time for blogging.


I still need to unpack properly, my stuff is in boxes on the floor, and buy a few things. But, I hope that as I settle in to my new home, to catch up. I've so much to tell you! And I can't wait to get stuck into reading all my fav blogs again. Virtual hug people!

What have you been up to lately? Do you have a packing/unpacking ritual?

Moving to London and Finding a New Home


Recently i was very lucky to have Internations publish an expat guide i wrote on Finding a New Home in London. If you are moving to London and are looking for a place, be it a shared house or your own, then have a read of my article, it will be a great starting point.

I have been through the rigmarole of trying to find accommodation in London. I have both lived in a shared house and have rented my own place, and for anyone new to London, there are some things that can be a bit daunting.

While writing this article, i did realise that i have a whole lot more to say on the subject than i initially thought so i am considering writing more here in the hopes that others will find it useful. Be sure to leave me a comment or send me an email if there is anything in particular you wish to know.
