I popped into Facebook today and saw you were in Edinburgh, thought you might have good news about your flat, I suppose it must feel strange, you've been there quite a while haven't you? Anyway hopefully you won't have to wait too long before you can afford to move into your own place again. I always think that packing up and moving on is quite a sad experience whether its the best thing for you or not, you're bound to feel a little lost I think but I'm sure your friend is happy to put up with you a little longer!!

Happy flat hunting!! Let us know how you get on with it once you start looking won't you?

I haven't been living in Edinburgh since last October. I took a permanent position with Texperts, who were formally a client of mine, and moved to Cambridge where I've been renting a room in my friend Thomas's flat -- Thomas is also a co-founder of Texperts. My flat didn't go on the market until this spring because that is by far the best time to sell in Edinburgh. Until now I've enjoyed still having a proper home, and have spent quite a few weekends up in Edinburgh. After this weekend I won't be able to do that anymore. I have nothing against moving (although it is a bit stressful) and agree that in some sense it is exciting. Bt the property market is very weird here at the moment -- it was a good time to sell but probably isn't a god time to buy yet, and the result of that is that I won't have my own place for quite a few months. That's what I'm finding depressing: having no home of my own except a small room in someone else's flat, and all my possessions in storage.

i've been there...and it's super...unsettling. 'specially without your own space and privacy.

i remember the textpert bit...but for some reason thought you were doing a 3 days here 4 days there sorta thing. i've been out of it.

congrats on the sale though. people can't sell a house here to save their lives. horrible horrible market.

The market here is horrible too and likely to continue to get worse for the next 18 months.

It's exactly the space and the privacy I miss. Thomas and I get on really well and he's a great house mate. But I'm used to my own space and my own place. It's a very weird experience to be a lodger again, and will only get worse now I won't be able to escape up to Edinburgh and my own place.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on my next post, "Pop quiz".
