EDIT: For those who are satisfyingly less geeky out there, I am now the proud owner of a flat in sunny Addiscombe, a mere three minute tram jaunt from East Croydon

Congrats! When is the housewarming? :-)

[d_floorlandmine]

Planned for December 13th, but separate post coming soon to announce the whole birthday/flatwarming festivities thing.

[redcountess]

will definitely keep that weekend clear :-)

Excellent news! Who knows, maybe I'll make it down to Clarets one night meself. (though zone six is a long, long, loooong way away on a Sunday)

Crash-space is a part of the furnishing plan ... after all, what's a flat without some decorative bodies ... [grin]

[tamaranth]

did you just call me decorative? That's very sweet!

[d_floorlandmine]

[bow] Indeed I did ...

Well done old chap!

Now comes the rising damp, woodworm and extortionate council tax bills. Happiness...

[d_floorlandmine]

Thank you, oh spirit of joy and light!

Rising damp isn't so much of a problem, as the lower floor is solid concrete - it's falling damp I might have an issue with - it's on the "upper ground" and "basement" levels, thus partially below ground level). As for the council tax bills ... :-b

Congratulations, mate! I won't be able to make the Housewarming etc etc, but I'll buy you a drink at the next Bmovie night instead!
