Wuuf's moving!
Umm, ok, it's only a few hundred yards into the centre of town, but, you know, that's still pretty cool!
Got my own flat, mortgage and all...well, 50% of one in a houseshare scheme county thing.
Anyway,m woohoo for home ownership in a recession and negative equaity, but boo to internet service providers that don't stick fibre optic into your building. Will have to figure out the best prvider and get with one, until then I'll be offline from this weekend-ish to...well, whenever! Hopefully not too long
Since I've been twatting people at work for abusing the net connection, I don;'t want to start using the work net connection so I guess I'll be all silent for a while

I'm glad for you Beo. All the best. It's nice to be sticking your rent money into something you'll own.
We lived in New Mexico for awhile, bought a nice house, and the real estate agent talked me into allowing her to rent the place instead of selling.
We've been gone for seven or eight years now. It was a great decision, financially, since the rent pays for the loan and then some.
Plus, the house has risen in equity almost $5000 a year. It's like being given an extra hundred bucks a week. We'll see how the housing situation goes now, but it's been good so far.
Good luck in your new situation. Hope to hear from you soon.

I first got the bed, then the big screen tv, surround sound, then the couch (about 6 months later), etc. The bed was rather important.. but the couch I suppose not as much.. since I could sit on lawn chairs in front of a big screen tv and watch movies like I was at the theater... wooo!! Internet though, I can't live without for more than a couple days.. and the computer I always have due to work.. not always a computer desk, but a kitchen table does just fine in a pinch which is why I now use my laptop more often.. heck, it's far more powerful than my desktop I have now!! plus wireless internet, which allows you to snag a connection here and there. Those generous enough to leave an open port for poor bastards stuck out in the middle of nowhere trying to find out where they are going and all they have is a little laptop.. heh.. yes, speaking from experience.. finding a free port and checking google maps was great Also used it to check tram schedules in bordeaux, and other things in london.
Anyway, good luck on the hows ownership thing.. the only downside is being responsible for everything yourself, but it's not much different in many of the slums I've lived where if you want something fix, don't bother asking.. just get it done yourself.. I had one landlord "fix" a water rot situation with a little white spray paint on the ceiling.. uh yeah.. that was toilet water on the ceiling.. hello?! when brown water ends up in the light bowl on your ceiling and fills it to half way, and the whole thing looks like it's pregnant, and turns a nice shade of brownish black... a bit of spraypaint is not going to do the job.. uff.. So uh yeah. I'm going to stop rambling now.. woo
yay Beo!!

Heh, 50% share of a new build means the developers are still beholden for some thigns to be fixed, and the housing association are on hand for other things
Anyway, three weeks to the day, i finally got internet and am back, woohoo!
Friday 14th i got the keys, aswell as securing a fridge for saturday collection and a washing machine/tumble drier. It was on to the local charity for a few tables, chest of drawers to also put comp on and a shelf unit for clothes, then picked up my best friend at the train station
With one or two minor niggles, everything went to plan with the move, stayed up til 4am on the saturday night putting everything in my room to the right place!
Managed to get the foton set up as a couch/bed, then ended up just using the matress alone in my room. Curtains went up on the saturday 15th and 22nd for living room and kitchen, and apart from a niggle with actually getting a working washing mahcine delivered, it's been pretty sweet!
Argos are hopeless for delivery, so my proper bed is still to arrive, but otherwise i have had a very nice, stress free existence with everything i could want except net for the last few weeks
Internet seems to workfine with only a minor battle, so I'm back! Woohoo! Hello!
Did anyone miss me?

Nah, the move has been pretty much hassle free.
I'm using a chest of drawers as a comp desk as I did before at my first rented room here, and I have both a desktop and laptop - though the laptop has overheated with a broken fan so I need to replace it, get an external fan, or leave it be
My interrum room had a tall chest of drawers and no table, hence why i never used my desktop
