House Hunting!

As outlined in my previous entry I am looking for somewhere to live, I looked at a room next to where my dad lives. It’s reasonably cheap, but I have some serious reservations about the room. Primarily the fact that I will have to pay for my own electricity, which ordinarily wouldn’t be a problem, but it’s one of those landlord installed coin meters. Which notoriously fleece the tenant, and I would need a constant supply of pound coins, and I don’t like the idea of the power going off suddenly, losing everything on the computer that I had been working on. To add to that, it’s not good to turn off PC’s suddenly, I would need to shell out on a UPS so the power doesn’t just go off. Another thing that bugs me is that I even have to pay to take a shower, the shower unit takes 20 pence coins, also I can’t have Telewest installed as someone else in the house already has it installed. Telewest have a stupid rule of only allowing one customer per household. And as there isn’t a phone line installed in the house, I would need to have BT install a line, which will cost upwards of £100, so costs the are mounting. I liked the idea of living next to my dad and being close to work, but it’s simply too much to compromise on, so my search continues!
