Ok,
so please bear with me - this is my first post since blogger has
changed - which could have happened years ago - in which time, I have
become an old lady who no longer knows how to use a computer.
Anyway,
more excitingly, Husband Features and I have gone and bought
outselves a little ole flat! We have moved ourselves off the
Tube, which probably puts us in the suburbs...
Anyway,
the flat needs a bit of love, and doing up a flat is something I have
no experience of whatsoever - so I thought I'd keep you updated here
of the journey we'll go through - from living in a flat that has been
rented out for 15 years to people who don't care about it, to living
in a flat that we love.
Our
starting point was a snowy march day that followed a month of looking
at flats that were not quite right. We met the estate agent at
the front of the block of flats, went in to have a look and decided
it was the one for us.
Things
went downhill from there. We had a particularly unpleasant
estate agent however who made a lot of threats and several times took
it upon himself to make up false deadlines, but finally, at 4.45pm on
Friday 6 July, we got the keys. We could barely believe it and
after so many downs in the process, we dared not arrange a van for
moving until we had the keys in our grubbly little hands.
A
week later, we'd cleaned the carpets twice (to very little avail) and
moved all our stuff in.
So,
will add more detail as I go along, but for now, below are some
pictures of what we're working with.

Bathroom (the loo is separate):

We have made quite a few changes since these pictures, so the next post will have some of those updates.
