Good Ol' London Town

Well, as you all know, we made it back to London safe and sound. We spent our first week back searching for somewhere to live. We were going to go back into a share house, but after look at 3 I decided that I could not be happy in a share house...it was all too much. I just wanted our own space where I did not have to share anything with strangers! We found this cute little studio apartment in a suburb called Golders Green. It is only one kinda biggish room with a kitchenette, a table a convection/microwave oven, our large sofa bed and a mini sofa bed for all our future visitors. We have our own bathroom and some wardrobe space. It's perfect. Plus it is right around the corner from Liz's new work place and near all the nice schools in this part of town. So hopefully we'll settle in nicely.

Liz's new job I hear you say?? Well, Liz has taken on a nanny job. She is working for a really lovely family who have 2 children aged 14 and 11. They don't really need too much nannying but mainly need a driver, cook and homework whipper. She also has to do the odd things around the house such as washing and shopping but she has the middle of the day while the kids are at school to do this. Most of the time I think she will have this time in the day to do not much, lucky thing! She doesn't finish until 7.30pm and on some evenings and weekends will have to babysit. But it is an easy job and it is her turn to have a cruisy year. Plus it's a solid income which we need now that we're paying a fair bit more rent. I'm heading back into teaching an am hoping for a contract come January to tie me over until June next year so keep your fingers crossed for me! Will post photos of our pad soon :)
