Looking for somewhere to sleep during the week...
Soon enough I will be based full time in Old Street. This means I will be tweeting a lot less about my cat and being caught in my dressing gown at 3pm by Mr FedEx...and a lot more about how I hate South West Trains.
Already my timeline is being peppered with lots of...
It makes me sad.
So I am looking for somewhere to sleep during the week so that I spend less money on trains and I don't vomit my heart out. Ideally, I am hoping to rock up at DREAM PLACE X very late on a Sunday eve (10pm-ish) and stay Sunday night thru to Thursday night. I'd go away again on Friday morning leaving you to do whatever it is you like to do on weekends in the privacy of your own home. (I'm implying that's something dodgy - but hopefully it isn't). If the Sunday night thing doesn't work, I'd just stay Monday night to Thursday night.
I will be very quiet - I work very late and do a lot of 'entertaining' (client shiz - I'm not a juggler) on week nights so I will pretty much just be using your home as somewhere to sleep/shower. You won't need to worry about me ever bringing friends round or cooking five course meals in your kitchen (I'm happy to not even step foot in your kitchen) and I will be living out of a small suitcase...not taking over the place. I already have a lovely home down here - I don't need two :)
These are my 'requirements'...
- Central location. If I still have a lengthy travel time across London then it kinda defeats the object of living in town during the week.
- A real bed. I am very happy to sleep in a single bed, I bloody love single beds (tragically unattached), but I can't sleep on a raggedy sofa bed. I have a spazzy neck/back and I'm generally useless in the sleep department. (Wow - aren't I good at selling myself as a lodger!)
- No pets that have fur. I'll be tempted to make them into a coat. (Kidding, I have allergies. See above for further useless body attributes. Fish/snakes/lizards are fine. OMG I hope you have a snake).
- You live somewhere relatively quiet. I wanna be able to sleep, so if your place is known for its crazy Tuesday night parties or the nightclub right beneath it then it probably won't work out.
Ideally...
- I know you or you are a friend of a friend. You definitely haven't done time for murder.
- You don't mind me using your wi-fi. It would be nice to be able to check my emails over wi-fi rather than 3G.
- You can put me up until some time in December. I will be having a new face made out of metal so will be living with my parents post-surgery for at least six weeks. Assuming we've got on a-ok and I don't die, it would be great to come back in Jan/Feb again.
I am happy to be in a teeny tiny room, I really am! And I don't mind if you are a man or a woman or a couple or a huge massive family. If you have children (do families live in Central London?!) then you can always use me as a babysitter every now and then if that helps make the whole 'offer' seem more attractive. I enjoy hanging out with children and watch a surprising amount of kids TV for a business owning adult.
Hopefully you know who I am if you're reading this or have been sent this by a friend who has introduced me, but I run a web start-up (fashion related) and the Daily Mail once called me 'saucy'. (You don't need to know that last part, I just like saying it. It's gonna be on my headstone).
So if you have a spare room, would like some extra cash each month and think we can work something out then please get in touch, it would be hugely appreciated. Email poppy@wiwt.com with a rental price and where you're based and we'll take it from there :)
