      I am stressed. Extremely stressed.
      I am stressed for the following reasons:

      1. The man who said I could live in his flat for 2 months from July called this morning to say he was very sorry, but I can actually only live in it for 1 month from August.
      2. My current lease runs out on June 30th
      3. Until my grant installment comes in next month, I have more or less no money.
      4. I have to go to a wedding in Bath on the 29th June. The train down and the hotel cost quite a lot of money. Which I don’t have (see point 3).
      5. It may have escaped the Universe’s notice, but I have a thesis to be getting on with.
      6. My tumble drier is broken again so the sweater I wanted to wear tonight to meet my boyfriend’s parents for the first time is sodden.

      Ok, that last point sounded a little lame. Let’s just say it was the last thing I needed today.

      On the positive side I went to see Vacancy last night. It was rather good, actually. Scary as hell also. And quite intense. Go see.
