Secondary Phase

Oh, yes, we moved house - thanks in no small part to Mr and Mrs Buchan and their Car of Vastness. The new house is lovely, though slightly strewn with boxes (which we must, at some point, Deal With).

I am inexpressibly pleased with living in a house once more. I have in the past said that I would not be truly happy living in a flat, and while it did not at the time seem so very bad, as soon as I was again in a house with stairs and a front door I was filled with an immense sense of well-being and relief. Admittedly part of it may be relief at getting out from under the uncaring, unlawful, negligent, incompetent excuse for a letting agency known as Sanderson James, but even putting that aside, it's just so much nicer on every level. And it has two levels!

The lovely [livejournal.com profile] diegoliger has been busying himself about the place with Interior Design and Layout, so if anyone cares to visit and finds the arrangement at all appealing the credit must go entirely to him. Apart from the sofa. I bought that.

I own a sofa and a bin and have built a chest of drawers. I am a man now.

I own a wardrobe and a sofa and an antique desk, and have built an Ikea bedframe all by myself.
Once I have worked out how to cope with the evil spirit of the heating system, then I shall be a woman.

Yay! Having your own house is just brilliant. Now you must acquire many powertools...

I used to own a sofa and a bin, does that mean that i've handed back my man card? *confused*

Also congratulations, have a housewarming so we can come and celebrate!

I own a hat.

It's lovely.

But you only have one head. I find that to be somewhat suspicious.

You're not a man until you own power tools. I read that in a book somewhere.
