Housing update - I haven't done anything about it for a week, I've been staying in a nearby city to take some time off, see some people, that sort of thing. I also haven't had internet, which is why I've been away for a little while.
One of the guys (Mike) has a couple of spare places in the house he is living in now for next year, and I am all for going there - it isn't too far to walk from the uni. I'm still up for looking around, but there seems good. Mike also says it is too early to be looking for houses, and thinks we should wait until June or July (!!!).
However, Chris looked around the house, and the words he used to describe it were "a slum" - rather harsh I think, I have seen Mike's house and it is pretty good for student housing. My sister has and is currently living in worse. He is looking at more expensive housing a longer distance away - we are talking voer 40 minutes walk. And as far as I am aware, only Mike and I can drive, and he hates to and I can't afford the insurance, or the car itself, until I'm 21. And I don't really want to havw to get up any earlier than I already am.

Like I say, I don't know if this has changed, because I'm not in Portsmouth right now.

In other news, I can't get my earrings out (the backs are on too tightly), I am going slightly deaf occasionally (probably related to my recent bout of being ill) and I pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder pretty badly crawling out from under a bed a few days ago. it was agony and I couldn't move my left arm or my head at all.
