16 grand poorer today

danr · Nov 2006

just this second completed on our first house after years of renting, and it's cracking - georgian terrace, roof garden!. I'm all of a buzz, girlfriend's in a total flap. Something of a dent in the old bank account but we ain't thinking about that until we have to. Yay!

i'll get some pics up later when i've got the keys

housey housey happy!

Congrats Dan! when are you inviting us art monkeys to the house warming/ransacking?

McIlroy · Nov 2006

Do you guys have booze fueled house warming parties in the UK like we do in the states ?

ohhhhhhhh yes. And i'm gettting a dog, too. Just to get it pissed at the party.

Rick Stirling · Nov 2006

Can I come? (Heavily on your greedy lips?)

good job mate, it's great to ditch the renting.

awesome dan. welcome to the home owners club.

now, I have to go put more traps out to catch mice...

danr · Nov 2006

thanks

now, all i need is for that slack twat to get the hell out of MY house. It belonged to us at 10am this morning, it's now gone 1 and he's still showing no signs of leaving. I might go round and kick MY door in, and take a shit on MY floor and see if that shifts him

yeah, i'm sure this sort of thing is standard on moving days. But i don't do well when i'm bored. I'm bored now. Bored of boxes. The computer is the only thing that isn't packed. Waiting to see if my WoW character that got keylogger hacked over night gets all of his stuff back ...

You don't need a new house for that here, or even a party. Just a typical night out (or in).

Grats Danr, looking forward to the pics (I find it easier to stalk people when I can actually see where they live).

and getting bombed out from the pot-smoking guys downstairs.

I don't miss the slugs in the shower of our basement apartment..

[shudder]

Owning a home is the only way to live..

sledgy · Nov 2006

Aww slugs make great pets - they don't eat much and you don't ever have to go through the neighborhood tracking them down.

Gongrats danr! PIXPLSKTHX

Congratulations! Owning a home is a big step. I hope it works out well for you. (it sounds like a great house, I'd love to see some of those pictures)
