Changing places

Out with the old...

Hello everyone!
Well, I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.  Sadly I haven't really been able to - because I have been busy moving into my new flat.  And I say "my" because I bought the bugger!  Yep, it finally happened!  HURRAH!
I admit that the whole flat buying and moving situation has made me a little preoccupied - in life and online.  For this I apologise, but I promise to write about something else next week.  But, in the meantime...
Exciting fact number one:  I have an abundance of storgae space (well, comparatively speaking!).  Not only do I have

... and in with the sarong curtains!

three (yes - THREE!) drawers in my kitchen, I also have three large storage cupboards - one of which I have dedicated to my art, craft and music (yep, I still have my clarinet and sax from my younger days along with my recently acquired ukulele) and one that is tall enough to fit my easel in!  And then there's the loft...  Exciting fact number two: today I have bought a bargainous chest of drawers and washing machine from the British Heart Foundation - which, along with the fridge freezer I picked up from a cheapy shop in Holloway last week, means I am pretty much there with the bits I really need.  Now I just need a plumber...  And exciting fact number three:  I am now free to decorate my own place how I really want - and can't wait until my summer leave to do so.
So there you go.  I am officially one of those sad cases that is obsessed with their new abode... and their finances.  Which reminds me, I better check when my first mortgage payment goes out...
