    I just bought a house :)

    Well, I finally did it
    Nice little 2 bedroom flat along the road, moving in on the 30th November.
    Signed my mortgage yesterday.

    Woooohoooooo!

    Ooh nice one, living on your own?

    Moving into your own place sounds like an interesting experience going by my Boss over the last month and a half, lots of unexpected things seems to happen with alarm regularity during the process, but I'm sure it's brilliant once its all done!

    I look forward to the day I get my own place, it'll be military-spec tidy *points at Lee's Quote in Tig's Sig* <- that tidy, pretty much.

    Thanks DR
    A word of advice to anyone considering buying a house (up here anyway) is: put the offer in subject to survey, that way you dont get charged the 150 to do the survey, then not get the house
