Housing update
Sep. 30th, 2008 12:18 pmI can't be bothered to look up remember what I last posted about this, and certainly not in a public place, so here's an update on the current immediate-future housing situation.
Some people from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foul_temptress's shindig may recall my mentioning that we'd seen some houses that day, including a particularly nice apartment on Hyde Road with two bedrooms and a nice sized living room. Well, after the next property we viewed turned out to be a magical mystery house built for dwarves[1], we decided to apply for the apartment. (We've been back for a quick scout around outside since, and did notice that the paint on the outside at the back is peeling a bit, but meh, that's not our problem.) Apparently all they're waiting for now is a quick chat with the landlord, which shouldn't take too long.
The apartment is currently vacant so theoretically we could be moving in a week or two. It's also unfurnished, but between Ant's own stuff, his generous boss and the lovely ladies at his church, we should only have a couple of bits and bobs to worry about - mostly beds and shelving, probably. (Would you like to know more?)
It's also lacking a shower curtain. Quite by chance, an advertisement for this has just dropped into my inbox. I mention this only by way of synchronicity.
[1] It was an adorable little mid-terrace cottage across from the Donkey Sanctuary. The kitchen was in the basement, which wouldn't have been so bad if there was any way to get to the basement without leaving the house. Also there was woodworm, the windows weren't double-glazed, all the doors were five feet tall and there was a magical one-way system preventing easy road access. And anyway, gays aren't welcome in the magical wood.
