Dilemma

2 possible flats:
#1, small room, own shower, large modern house with tile floors. Room opens onto lounge, so may be noisy. Room is at back of house and under upstairs bathroom. Sharing with 4 others and small child. $125/week plus about $35/week expenses ($160/week) as I'd need to pay for my own internet access. plus travel costs- its 10 minutes drive from the CBD, I'd be driving to work every day for sure. Taxi to the house is about $15.

#2, very VERY small room in a sleepout in a quiet, tree-filled back yard. I'd need to be creative with my furniture choices but I've lived in smaller. Walking distance to work, CBD. $80/week, internet existing.

I'm definitely leaning towards the $80/week room... my own space, close to town, compact and cosy, and $45/week less than the other.

Looks like room #2 is sold: this morning I dreamed it had toads living under the floor and around the propery. Of course we dont have toads in NZ and I never dreamed of them before, so its a good sign (if a little obvious- my subconscious is getting sloppy. Or frustrated with my lack of attention.)

Or you could buy a nice big house and I could come live with you.

Number 2. There's no small child to get into your J-Lube.

#2. Small, Cheap and Convenient Easy. What is not to like? ;)

I wanna live @ $80/week!

Is there enough room for your Jornada?

#2 for sure and the extra $45/week for the travel/Jagermeister fund.
