I've landed a job, or at least, I'm going to work on Thursday and will take it from there.
It's a 2 week contract for good money, near Hook.
After a few hours of furious searching and working out, I've made a preliminary booking into a £45 a night hotel within a mile of the place I'll be working, from Sunday to the next Sunday.
Ouch.
Doing the math, however, the return journey from London is £10 a day. With a rail card, that will work out at maybe £8 a day. I'm paying £18 a night now, add on £8 and we're at £26. Add on a decent breakfast and it's £30.
Then there's the obvious commute time - an hour and twenty minutes to Hook and a 2 mile walk to odiham which will take 30 minutes, or I can catch an hourly bus.
Ain't that all totally boring ?
Fuck yeah.
The interesting thing is I'll arrive here :-

If your a totally hopeless dreamer romantic pisscat like me, it all looks rather interesting.
And so ends the most flat and tedious blog ever to grace these pages !
I'll leave you with a famous quote, see if you can guess who it is :-
"Drink, girls, arse, feck"

That was pretty much my philosophy when I left London to move to Odiham. there was a job there (well actually I set up my own company there, with the help of a friend or two) and it looked a pretty, stress free place. dunno about stress free but I still think it's pretty and (nearly) three years later I'm still here so I guess it can't be that bad. Have you ever shopped in Number 81?
Yes - I've popped in there once or twice, great shop!
Odiham is relaxed, but it's always work which causes the stress.
It is great to live in a place that is n't crowded with people 24/7, which is why I'm glad I'm not in London!
