3 more sleeps

I am so excited! 3 more sleeps till we leave our "palace". This is where we have been staying for the last 6 months.

The Street

Apartment on the left in the middle - a 26sq m serviced apartment.

As accommodation is hard to come by in Helsinki, this was a gem! If anyone is looking to invest in property this is the place to do it. Rental income is HUGE!

I can literally make tea without leaving the bed!

Although there is this double bed, you can't sit up as there is no room, neither are there any lights to read. You also have to go down stairs to turn off the "main" light which isn't very strong. So we use that as a storage area.

This is the most resourceful use of space for an apartment. You can literally sit on the toilet, brush your teeth and turn on the washing machine without moving! Cleaning it is really easy - guess that's a bonus!!!
Anyhow, bring on Thursday, we're up grading to a - wait for it... ... ... ... ...

30sq m serviced apartment - "Al lè Mansion"!!! Yeah baby!!! You'll be surprised just what a difference those extra few feet make! We'll be moving closer to the centre, moving to the first floor AND a quieter neighbourhood...

This was the Kebab shop opposite us which stayed open till 4 /5am every day or would that be night?!?! Ahhhh I can hardly wait to move!

So today I uploaded the "May 2009 - London" post. Also managed to pop into gym to do a "Motivus" class. Have no idea what that means - neither do I have any idea what they are saying... which is quite amusing, nevertheless, great fun! Afterwards I managed a 4.5 in 30... So progress - All round great day!!!
