1. You get really smug about your new home pretty damn quickly.
2. And because you're saving so much money, you soon realise you could legit live in a mansion.
3. Sometimes you actually get 10 hours of sleep a night.
4. And because you're so well-rested, you stop having breakdowns in public.
5. That said, you definitely get a bit, ahem, softer around the edges.
6. And you have to rely on local taxis a LOT.
7. You soon learn that midweek drinking isn't a thing outside of London.
8. But that does mean your bank balance starts looking slightly perkier.
9. And you end up buying more clothes.
10. Being away from the city means you have to be extra creative on Instagram.
11. And you become weirdly obsessed with the cars parking in your street.
12. You can no longer pop into Pret for a quick work lunch.
13. But on the plus side, you no longer blow pollution out of your nose.
14. You find yourself telling people "I used to live in London" all the time.
15. And you don't actually go for all that many country walks.
16. Getting to the airport is really difficult.
17. And you can no longer go clothes shopping after work.
18. Which means that you make a day of it whenever you do go clothes shopping.
19. You suddenly have time for hobbies.
20. But you can no longer wear things like flower garlands, flamboyant culottes, and vintage dresses to Tesco.
21. Every time you visit London, you get pangs of regret for leaving.
22. But then, two hours later, you're all like, TAKE ME HOME, I HATE LONDON.
23. And actually, when you think about it, you realise how relaxed and happy you are.
24. So, even though you can be a bit preachy, you're happy that you've made the right decision.
