Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I thought I'd make a new thread for this because I haven't made one for a while. So, here it is. Ine has been over in the UK for a week or so for Christmas, and we've been looking at houses to rent together. She's made a folder and has been pestering me about houses for some time, so in the end I just took the next random one she asked me about and decided to ask for a viewing for that one. Turns out the place was pretty bluddy nice! Fell in love with it straight away. Also, we had some fun with the estate agent, asking her to try on the shower in our house, as our current one was a bit shitty. The living room. The telly is probably going to go, but we've got our own better one to replace eet. There's a two seater leather sofa to the right of the picture, and a three seater which is where I am sitting. Those are my legs. Le kitchen. Where our food will be made. There is another kitchen unit that is going to go into the gap on the right. Also, fridge is massssive. Shower time! That's the table and chairs/dining area, with a cute little breakfast window that leads into the kitchen. This is one half of our bedroom...the room. Err, that's the other half...the bed. Both make the bedroom! This is the view from outside our flat, right by our front door. There's a gate on the right that will take us to the Upper Gardens, which leads us into central Bournemouth. And this is part of the upper gardens. All to ourselves, mwahaha. We've been back and forth to the estate agents, and the whole thing seems to have gone really, really smoothly. In a somewhat bizarre twist, the agent bares a striking resemblance to our old forum friend Jordan! Are we in some sort of parallel universe...Termina?! So, it's all gone ok, and today we have picked up the keys to our flat. We've been to ikea and have picked up some plates, cutlery and other household stuff, and have been placing it in our place today. It's very surprising how quickly this has moved along. Yet, at the same time, it has been 3 years, so the timing is right. Edited January 6, 2012 by Fierce_LiNk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2012 Mega congrats guys! place looks awesome. I can see only one thing wrong: the shower head is fixed to the wall so you won't be able to take it off mid-shower and really clean your butt crack. :p Also, when can me and the family come to stay for a holiday with free accommodation? CONGRATS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, when can me and the family come to stay for a holiday with free accommodation? CONGRATS! Whenever you'd like! Although, I won't be there til next month as I've still got my current place. I hope you can raise your kid's development values by then. Also, I hope yours rise, as the values tend to slow down with age. (oooooohhhh!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2012 Dude I'm a 33 year old 15 rated striker with training cone, goal instincts and freekicks. I need no further developing. I'm a machine. Kids stink though. Both are 1 rated injury prone divas. I apologise for them in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2012 Looks great we recently moved into a semi with a great view. Lots of people went for the house so when we got it, it fel like landing a great job. Awesome feeling, finding a place that ticks so many boxes. Now go forth and make the happy memories within! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) The phrase "sick pad" in the modern Americanised sense springs to mind. Your little shelf in Bournemouth looks like the most pleasant little nest anyone could hope for, I couldn't be more jealous. Flat 2 for two - sounds like the start of something wonderful. Also, now that I look at it you're just on the other side of the Isle of Wight from me. We should meet up there and sink it or something.

Posted January 7, 2012 Looks awesome. Also kudos on the serving hatch. We have one of those in our house. Probably not overly useful for two people but great when you have a family*/entertaining friends and family and have a few meals to pass through. *hint hint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
