we have a house

that's right, not a flat- a house!! well, the flat fell through, after 2 weeks of chasing after them, pushing them, crossing our arms and giving them the evil eye, we got sick of it, told them that we were interested in another property, and in 3 minutes, the deal was done.
we measure for furniture on thurs and move in fri.

if you want to see pictures of it, go to google and search 'lets rent robinsons,' which is the letting agency. then, find the property entitled "coronation house" (that's the name of our house). click and you can see pics.

and when you do, you'll notice that the carpets are burgundy. they really make this lovely house look a lot more drab than it is. that's the only downside, really. it's got a garden, a new kitchen and new bathroom, a nice master bedroom with closets, and a little room we can use for guests and an office.

a bus on route to our gym passes by our front door every half hour. and it should be a 10 minute bike ride to the station.

there is also free parking for guests (we can't even think about buying a car at this point)

ah, finally. we have waited quite a while for this.
