We got a flat!!

So the job has been going good. There's some nice down time each shift, although it can get very busy. Everyone is really nice, funny too. I love the Scottish sense of humour, although sometimes they can make even me blush!! I've started pushing the trolleys by myself and I'm getting lots of hours which is good because we finally found a flat!!!

From the outside, I will admit that this place looks like the ghetto or something and we were tempting to turn around and run. Once we got inside though the difference was amazing. Here's why: It used to be government housing but now the government is selling the flats individually so really no one owns the building, which is why it doesn't look very nice from the outside. And because the flats are owned and most aren't rented out but families live there, they take good care of them. It's quite a site. Cold gray cement walls with a white door, recently painted with matching brass numbers and knocker. They are still doing work on the flat, painting, carpeting and such but we are hoping to move in by this weekend. The landlord is really nice, and after I explained that I was still paying off my student loan he took £50 off of the rent (nice!!). It's actually going to be less than what we had planned on spending so it works out nicely, and it is only 15 minute bus ride into the city centre and while one stop is right off of our street, there are a bunch more 10 minutes away at the shopping centre. My only hope is that the walls aren't so thin that I can hear Cheryl's snoring through 2 walls and the bathroom. (I'm not holding my breath though). haha.
