Fantastic, I just received my new ATM card, delivered to my desk. I've gone downstairs to the ATM machine and changed the pin to the same number I have in the UK. I now have an international roaming pin and don't have to carry about wads of cash. I feel very chuffed (pleased for non UK residents) ATM's are relatively new by the way. Before that, it was wads of cash all the way!.
I feel even more chuffed because before I left the UK, I was hearing stories about how the demand for rental properties in Lagos had caused rents to go through the roof and how some people were waiting for a year for a place. I saw a place earlier in the week which I didn't like and was told that If I didn't take it, I would see how long it would take for me to find somewhere else.
I went out at lunchtime, with an agent and was shown two places within my budget (perhaps my budget is just so high so less demand). One of the places I really like. So am really chuffed (pleased) about finding somewhere. Left is the small matter of persuading my bank to forward me two years worth of rent in one big lump to pay for the thing.

Hi
I don't blame you for taking the weekend off. In fact I'm suprised you're able to work 7-7, househunt, cover schools and assimilate all combined with writing this interesting blog. Just take care and don't overstretch yourself and end up with some kind of nervous breakdown (people do experience nervous breakdowns in Nigeria don't they??). I also noticed that you refer to big men quite often. It seems theres are rather acute obesity problem in Nigeria, maybe similar to that found in the Islands of Tonga?
I am really enjoying ur blog. I am a Nigerian with the hope of moving back home in a couple of years....so i need all the inspiration.
Great blog, how's the traffic in Lagos. I'm getting conflicting reports from different sources. You havent mentioned it.
