Skip this at your leasure

Posted on March 8, 2005 By admin 2 Comments on Skip this at your leasure

Ok, I'm starting to realize that my move overseas will generate an obscene amount of paperwork.


Average costs:

Rent (Cambridge) : 650 monthly (2 bedroom)
Electricity: 20-30 monthly
Gas: 20-30 monthly
Council tax: 90-110 monthly
Groceries: 70-100 weekly

Still need to figure out costs of cell phone, internet connection and cable TV. Need to make proper budget, esp. given that I have things to pay in Canada


Things I need to buy:

– appliances
– couch
– anything electric (lamps, small kitchen appliances, alarm clock, TV/DVD/VCR)

Try and sell off the I have here


Rental offices:

City of Cambridge
South and East of the City are best residential options for travel to Hinxton

    your big kitchen appliences should come with anywhere that you move. if you need to get anything like that it'll be things like toaster, microwave and possibly washer dryer.

Quote of the day

She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
