I can see her during the day.

We spent Saturday doing a little packing, but mostly looking at prospective flats. One nice one-bedroom, one mediocre one-bedroom, one very nice two-bedroom too far from the train station, two marvellous two-bedrooms (one with boxroom/study) with nightmarish stairs and one middling two-bedroom with a shared garden which didn't grab us but didn't suck too horribly, so we put in an application. Fingers crossed the owners will accept a cat and that the neighbours aren't insane. If we get it, the Bell will be our local!

Yesterday I went back to the ex-flat and did some cleaning and packing. I stopped when it got too dim to see and my fingers had turned to icicles. That place does horrible things to my breathing, and even stuff that isn't damp feels damp; the sooner we're cleared out, the better. I'm also really hoping we can get the rats out of there today — it can't be good for them.

If we get the middling flat, we'll hopefully be moving next weekend.

I am now at work and falling asleep. MORE CRACK NEEDED.

Update: Now hoping the owner of the prospective flat rejects us for demanding a cat — it's outside the catchment area for our GP. ARGH BUGGER FUCK!

Update 2: Landlord has approved the cat and will be putting in a washing machine. Middling flat is go! Probably! Assuming HomeLet can reference-check competently, and believe someone could possibly be on £40k in Walthamstow! redcountess is researching GP clinics for the prospective new address ...
