I stole this thread from somersetgirl :tongue:

.

Anyone moving into frances gardner? I don't know anyone yet :afraid:

- most of the people on the forums like ucl one and this one are going to other places.

Just checked the post...i got frances gardner house!!! quiet happy cos it looks lovely, all the pictures are only of the outside of the building though so i have no clue of what its like on the inside. Mightly pricey i think, £122 a week, looks like im gonna be living on beans on toast!

@ UCL girl - do you know what block you are in and stuff? I got a letter today with some forms to fill [argh] but nothing on where i'm gonna be. Looks like we wont find out till we actually get the keys!

Also, do you know how many people share a kitchen? £122 is quite a bit, but i'm so glad i got frances G. - i bet the interior looks well new :smile:

yea i must have got the same letter, i have no clue about the blocks. I think its about 5 or 6 in each little cluster flat so we all share a kitchen between us, i might have just made that up though.

Any idea about when we can move in? the sooner the better!

We can move in on the 24th/25th between 10am-5pm. If you go late say 7pm you gonna have to pay for the day or something, so it's best to go at 10am-5pm. I'm gonna move in on the sat after lunchtime as that'll be the last decent thing i eat for 4 years. What time are you gonna go?

Yea i think i'll do the same, last thing i wanna do is turn up just as everyones decided theyre all best friends! 24th at about 2ish. might have to get a train down, me and my billion boxes! Not too bad though- im only 15 minutes away so wheneven the food supplys getting low or washing needs done, ill be straight onto that train!

Nice1, i got to learn how to use a washing machine :confused:

, shouldn't be too tricky, hopefully.

How many train trips do you think you will need to drop your stuff off. I'm considering taking a train too, but i think i may struggle picking it all up in 1 go.
