Ikea makes you happy

I think that I must be the only person in London who didn't see the giant elephant this weekend.  With my cold still persisting and my nose still streaming I didn't think it would be a good idea to go and stand in the rain, even for the elephant's sake, so the weekend was mostly spent indoors doing what can only be described as faffing.  I spent a

Tell me, I am the last person who would laugh! Also I will look into the shared ownership flats because it has to be better than putting up with landlords...

Hopefully you'll soon be working enough hours to buy at least part of a flat (and boat house studio!) If my full time (but meagre and non key worker) hours are enough to buy even a quarter of a flat I probably should think about it.

I think that the minimum you can buy with this scheme is 50%, but do the eligibility test because the criteria aren't that strict.

Maybe they'd just let me buy the boat house by itself, that would be better than nothing!
