Title: Guffer's Towers
Post by: Gaffers on 18 December 2013, 09:31:44
Well that's the missus and I in our new place, which is our first home  8)

Downsizing is not fun, even worse when coupled with a move.  Going from a 3 bed with a garage to a 2-bed without meant getting rid of a lot of stuff as well as building a large shed with a concrete base, painting most of the walls due to a dubious colour choice by the developers and dealing with the incompetence of Sky BB and Virgin Media call-centre staff.

Now I am connected to the Net @ 104/9.4MB I am very excited about being able to watch films on demand at last!  My last place had 1.4/0.5MB on a good day.  Plus the Leaf has a proper charging point now and can make full use of the 16A charger rather than the 10A I was using resulting in faster turnaround after the regular trips to Heathrow.

The only problem is that all the stress has turned me a little bit more grey and being the only one who could really carry anything heavy means my back is f.......... :(

But, very happy to finally be a homeowner :y

Thank you everyone :y

Congrats, nothing better than being able to put the incompitence of solicitors screwing up the house buying experience behind you.

Agreed.  They have no idea the knock-on effects of their delays.  My march-out of the military quarter was fixed due to the holidays so the later the completion was the less time was had to get that ready to hand back.  I recently received a feedback form from them......oh boy!

Currently on target for mid-jan, I need the cycle training as I'm eating an lot and doing very little exercise!  :-[

But with your metabolism you wont have any issues.  I have some great little winter rides planned out.  I hope you have some thermals ;D

So feet up, open a bottle of summat warming and enjoy your first Christmas in your home :y

Plenty to drink here, made more apparent by the move :-[
