Welcome to da finest city in da countray!!

MattKid

It certainly is.

Now do I stick to my plan of living in Oranmore or go for something closer to city centre? Hmmm

kraggy

No point in going from Nr Oxford to Nr Paradise.

Move into the city centre.

k.

That's what I was thinking whilst having a few pints in Sally Long last night.

There are a few places in the Newcastle area (if they haven't been snatched already)

Well I'm easy, it's not like my social calendar is packed although I'm probably going to The Last Waltz tribute at Black Box on Friday 13th

I think I might actually toddle along this time.

Does anyone have anything bad to say about the Laurel Park area of Newcastle. i should be looking at a place there today or tomorrow. i had a walk up there yesterday and nothing screamed 'Runaway' to me and it's only 20 mins walk into town.

If you don't mind being surrounded by/living with students you'll be fine:)

I'm not finding the apartment hunting mission a great deal of fun either. I've got a verbal job offer but can't get anything in writing without a place to live and everyone is workers only.

I might have to offer to pay a years rent up front and see if that helps ARGH!!!!!!!

MattKid

The house in Newcastle was not good.

But I've viewed a place just off Eyre Sq and given my details, so fingers crossed people (else I'll be bitchin' on here forever)

MattKid

that got grabbed

So it's back to Oranmore and possibly/probably sleeping in my car this weekend

Posts of sympathy welcome

440Hz and MattKid - godspeed with the gaff-hunts! I was in the same boat back in October, 4 nights of sleeping on a mate's couch but then settled into a nice place. So keep the ole chins up.

Welcome to the city, by the way.

MattKid

Found a hostel with an available bed in Connemara for Friday and Sunday, I may try pouting and crying to see if I can wangle the Saturday somehow. Or just come back to the city and find a skanky girl to take me in for the night (actually I couldn't see me doing that, I'll just get a B&B or sleep in my car)

That won't be hard! You'll need some very heavy beer goggles though!
