After arranging to view Damiens appartment yesterday I got up this morning at 8am and by 9 was viewing the place. It was fantastic, in a great area, and the value for money was awesome. I gave an emphatic yes to the place, however Damien said he had another viewer later in the week and would get back to me. I remain very hopeful! After visting the appartment it was off to inspire-9 once again, this time to get some work done, catch up on blogging, and if ther...

I have spent most of the week locked up in North Melbourne Metro hostel, working full days and spending the rest of the time relaxing. After 3 weeks of exploring and living off my savings it was time to start paying my way. I set myself a routine to follow every day to make sure I completed a full work day.
