Flat hunting

i have been tearing my hair out just trying to get a decent flat. Of course, i should have done this some years back. But i am lazy, lazy, lazy….. i am tired of staying in a rented place and want a place i can call my own. A place i can decorate as i like, paint the walls a vivid shade of red (eeeeee), paint flowers on the door…..

So i have been running after real estate consultants (a better term for brokers), and have been flat-seeing for the past week. If i like the flat, i don’t like the locality, if i like the locality, the flat is not up to my expectation…and so on and so forth. i am going to spend this weekend wearing my soles and soul off looking for a suitable place.

And then i have to run after the home loan. Good thing is that i will pay less tax now if i take a home loan. It is almost despairing when i think about the amount i could have saved on tax if i had taken a loan before. And maybe after setting up the nest, i might just go bankrupt. i am going to have this big showcase for my books and candles. i hope i get some place nice.....
