Becky's Financial Guide to Living in London

A. MOST IMPORTANT : one pound does NOT equal one Dollar Australian. B. See above and bloody remember it. C. Make sure you have a return flight cos you won't have any money left to leave once you've been there. I've been to scared to tell people but this is a blog and it's the sort of thing you're supposed to put on a blog; I'm completely broke and I'm half way around the world !!! Last thursday when I went to get money for the bond and first month's rent for my new flat I got a bit of a surprise, I did luckily have enough money but I only had £2 left over!!!! (1 month's rent and bond for the flat was $1600 Aus) I was quite excited about this actually, it meant I was finally being given a challenge, and that's what I did. I survived 5 days in London on £10 borrowed from Adam! Until you get to London you have no idea what an accomplishment that is... And that included a day trip to Greenwich and an afternoon in the Tate Modern. Have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. Been living on canned soup and two day old bread rolls, living the hard life... Well I got paid today so I think 5 days of that lifestyle is enough... back to chocolate and restaurants! P.S. This is in no way meant to be begging for money, but I don't know if anyone got my text about putting money in for Malberto. If you guys want to put some money in my account I believe Jaan has the account details, but no pressure at all.
