Not too channel my inner Jean-Ralphio Saperstein too much but,
Flat hunting is a NIGHTMARE. London is expensive as shit. Even if I'm thrifty and careful about spending and have a job with a decent salary... NOPE. Wanting, or having to live on your own is still gonna cost you 70% of your salary, your left arm, a rabbits foot, three strands of Galadriels hair, your firstborn, etc.
I'm staying at a rather crappy airbnb in the meantime, but it was the only place that was pet friendly and affordable..at least my dog is happy there.
I need all the prayers and luck and everything. This has been hell but I'm determined to start 2018 off right. In my own little place.
