We got it!

We now have a new house for when our lease runs out. And, in fact, for a month beforehand, which means [personal profile] bringeroflight and [profile] christabelle9 have somewhere to move in to when they come to London and means [profile] rweishaar, [profile] pierot and myself bite the bullet and pay double rent for a month.

It's a gorgeous house. It's down by the river, just a bit further along towards Canada Water. It's got polished wood floors, and big leather sofas, and a huge kitchen with a stone tiled floor. There's a wooden decked garden out the back, which is just for us, and then a gate leading out into the big communal flowers and grass garden. There's also a private garage for Pridwen, and (most gloriously of all) the landlord is fine with us having kittens. He even says we can put a catflap in if we want.

I'm so happy about this. It's weird how emotional I get about houses. Not knowing where I'm going to be living, not sure about what is happening; it puts me on edge and makes me nervous. Knowing...well...it means I can start planning. And planning makes me happy.

Kittens, new bed, new computer...many things to organise. Not to mention a portfolio and some university work to make a start on.

Life is definitely looking up right now!

Fantastic! Congratulations on getting it.

So you're renting again? I had some kind of weird memory that you were looking to buy.

We were, but there were money issues, and there was the massive issue of both of us being fairly mobile re: future jobs and stuff, and we get on well with flatmates so it seemed much much simpler to keep renting for another year while we work out where the hell we want to stay.

And we get a much nicer house that way right now!

Well, there's five of us - so between the many many people it actually works out as not too bad for London - jez and I will be paying the same amount that we pay now, and we can live with that.

The only thing that is likely to be a dampener is the double rent for a month, which I kinda wish wasn't happening just before Xmas. I figure that people won't mind if they all get lumps of coal from me this year...

You can draw with it and set it on fire! Perfect for all the family!

Hurrah! I'm really pleased for you all. If you need a hand with moving just shout. Or phone, I'm more likely to hear you.

with regards moving.

Considering how you moved out of mine and you have had chance to get more stuff :)

Plus there is still the odd thing at my place - books mainly.

Online link to House anywhere?

If you want a hand with moving, give me a shout and I'll pike on you, or at least try not to pike immediately.

Not yet. As soon as I can I may wander around it with a camera and take some pics for all to see.
