I don't mean that you are "old", you obviously aren't, but thinking back on what I was like 5 years ago and what I am like now, it's a big difference. I learned a lot and grew a lot as a person in 5 years and I hope to learn even more and potentially find myself in a new phase of life in another 5 years. I guess it's different for everyone, I feel like I've grown very little in the last 5 years :/. 26 minutes ago, HelenaExMachina said: Flop hop? Floppy hoppy? Sounds about right.

Buckwheat Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 1 hour ago, First of My Name said: If it isn't, it should be. That sucks, I can relate. How far away is old Buckkeep from the new one? Would it be hard to keep in touch with your friends? And yeah, same. 6 hours by train. Less with a car, obviously, but that means you have to be able to afford a car and trust your own driving such distances, which I don't. Going back to see the family every one and a half to two months for a few days is just about right at the moment. And as I said, I have way more of a social life in the New Buckkeep than here. I kind of missed on a big part of the whole being social during your teenage and uni years, and I am enjoying the hell out of it now. I have just a few friend here, and we hear from each other sporadically. It does not feel hard. @HelenaExMachina, you are so young. Now I feel even more of a loser ... at least you are already applying for serious jobs, while I do not even know where to start right now. If I move back here, I suppose at least I could contact where I used to teach and probably do some teaching while looking for something more permanent.

Which I kind of expected, but I did still respond with a bottle or two of wine and some ill-advised decisions. Some people don't deal so well with failure... I'm kind of sorted with a house, in the sense we have found some places which are affordable provided we are able to get a job with an average salary (Planning to house-share with two friends). The problem will be securing a deposit, because while I am comfortable enough financially at the moment, I'm not in a position to shell out massive deposits. And even assuming I get a job I'll obviously not be paid until after I have moved in, so that doesn't really help. Busy working that out at the minute. Being rejected from a job always sucks, but you will eventually find something. Everybody gets rejected a couple times before they find a job. A flat will sort itself out, don't worry. It's about the trickiest things to get, imo. My flat situation is still a big question mark. I finally found this awesome flat but the owner is being an ass. Long story short, he rejected the absolute last offer we gave and demands an extra €1600. It's completely ridiculous, how stupid does he think we are? In any case, if he can't let his bloody €1600 go, I'll let his flat go and he can see how much he gets for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In London for a 1 bedroom flat you're probably looking at around €1950 in any decent place. That's rent and that's monthly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Eastern Europe where for a decent 1 bedroom flat in a decent location a monthly rent of €350 is considered sky high, with the average net salary being €550 (a month) . I have a feeling that the average net salary in London might be just a tiny bit higher. All hail Eastern Europe........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
