A new home for Bamber

[Romford Lad]

Bloody hell Phil ~ after all you have gone through ~ and 'now' the dear lady tells you that she's not selling ~ probably will be a blessing in the long run, as it would still be something at the back of your mind that she might change her mind [again]
So pleased that you have found a place that suits.

never hurts to ask? lol
so I'm guessing you don't want to stay, and it's too late besides?

 

[Bamber]

Oh, I'll ask. The bed frame needs replacing or welding as some of the legs were poorly welded and have fallen off. It's currently propped up on some of my books. I'll get her a replacement (it's in the letting agreement that I am responsible for such repairs and replacements), get it fixed and use it myself. I'll just need to get a mattress for it. There's a small table and a couple of bedside cabinets I wouldn't mind having too, but that's about all.

I go in through the door with the 'z' above it. Along a corridor and up the stairs to the rear.

I've just bumped into my neighbour from flat 4: Vince used to play for the Albert B darts team, same as me.

so you don't get to look out one of those lovely windows?

feelin' like home already, eh? lol

I think Vince has the view out of one (or more) of those windows. Met another resident, Colin, and introduced myself.

Won't really feel like home until I give up the old place. I'm still mainly based there while I fit out the new flat.

That Spender-Wise shop has had a good deal of business from me today; it's a general hardware store and I've bought quite a few odds 'n' ends there today.

I met another local: a cat was on the roof outside my bedroom this morning sunning itself.

I just meant you already know one of your neighbors, that's nice!
and he's the one with the windows! lol

Back in the land of unfiltered Internet, where Jokaroo was denied because of sex stuff!

 

[Bamber]

What?

 

[squirt]

I think he's been to the library lol
you can't access the Roo on library computers due to adult content
why he picked this thread for that, however, escapes me lol

 

[Bamber]

Just spoke to my current landlady and asked about the bed and coffee table. Her life is a bit "up in the air" at the moment (her physical frailties mean she may have to go into care) and the rest of the family have a say in what is going to happen to the house, so she'll be getting back to me when they've talked it over.

*fingers crossed!!!*

Send photos Bamber would love to see what the U.K. has to offer in apartments. I haven't been taking any pictures lately haven't been outside in about 3 months now trying to get my elec. wheelchair replaced and the Social Security Administration system here really sucks.

I can't really do any better than post #7 here as far as photos go. Hope you get that wheelchair soon: keep on harassing them for it.

The view from my new bedroom window is roughly east of south-east.

From the living room window this is what I see looking to the right (south).

how does it compare to the views in your old home?

 

[Bamber]

The old house has a small garden around the corner I'm on. As it has some small trees and tall roses it's somewhat green and shaded. Just the other side of the garden is the main road through Totnes, so the new place is much quieter.

Thanks for the photos! Do you like it being quieter?
