At last, having started the process before Christmas, we have finally moved into our own home. We also have a little addition to the Matthews family, her name is Luna.
She has crapped under the bed once, and in the corner of the living room three times; we have only had her for a week!
Moving into your own house is expensive, aside from the ridiculous amount of debt there are a billion different types of insurance, solicitors fees, mortgage fees etc. etc. We are now officially on the property ladder but broke.
Anyway, a house warming is on the cards for the summer and there is always room if anyone wants to visit Swansea earlier.

Make that four times.
Kiera, yes it is. My Uncle gave me the idea when he told me that they named all their pets after Lord of the Rings characters. Seeing as we had already named Harry the hamster after young potter, we decided to continue the trend with Luna (I think her real name is Luna Lovegood).
Make that five times.
I'm all big and grown up too - I'm 25 today!!
Jon, yes we went for the life insurance but not the critical illness cover. We figured that for £8 per month it was worth it to know that should anything happen, the other gets the house paid for straight up. Critical illness seemed a bit less needed so we have left this for the moment. It does feel great to be in, good luck with your own hunting. My advice with offers is to start offensively low, you can always keep raising your offer until the buyer deems it acceptable.
Lucinda, Happy Birthday!
we just had our offensively low offer accepted! what is the seller running away from???
Jon,have you not thought about moving the cat litter tray? or getting rid of the (admittedly cute) parasite?
Lucinda, a very happy birthday!
mate that is great news,
congratulations galore
Photos are on the way.
Jon and Beckys house is rock and roll. Becky's got this quality fluffy rug in the front room which would not be out of place in a porn film and the views are simply delightful. Don't let becky dull you into thinking they live in a run down council house as she did me because it's quite simply lovely. I'm meeting the cat tonight and I'm thinknig of taking a super soaker to keep her in order! Is that too heavy handed or do cats need discipline?
my dad has a super soaker on the kitchen window specifically for shooting cats.
partly because they poo in the garden, partly for sport.
Watched lots of porn films, have you, Tim?
Congrats on the new house, Jon and Becky, and on the new arrival. I bet she's even more gorgeous than she looks.
Congrats to both of you! Don't expect to get out of being broke any time soon... we've been in the new house 6 months and still avoiding paying the leccy bill...
