Well, hello there, stranger. How you diddling? That’s right. We didn’t get kidnapped. We’re alive and we have news. So, first things first, where have we been you ask? Well. To be honest, we’ve had a bit of a blog vacation. You see, following the Christmas break, we kicked off the start of 2019 in…
Read MoreWe haven’t blogged about our renting story for a while. When we last left you we wrote a very polite and calm post on how our letting agent didn’t tell us that our flat was simply moving to a new agency and therefore we could of stayed – why not catch-up here. Since then, we’ve…
Read MoreAs two people who have just gone through the tiring and back-straining process of moving home, we know that it’s a daunting and stressful time. Whether it’s moving rented accommodation or packing up the family home, it’s never an enjoyable task. Here are some top tips designed to make life a little bit easier and…
Read MoreWe’ve been slightly M.I.A lately, but as many of you know it’s because we’re packing up and heading off to some new digs. It’s no secret that we loved our little flat and when we received the news that we had to move we were gutted. However, all was not as it seemed.
Read MoreIn the words of Olive Penderghast… You may remember our post not too long ago, it described our torment at being recklessly shoved out on to the street by our evil landlord. Ok, perhaps it’s not that bad, however we are gutted that it’s time to move again. Our current dilemma however is this. We have been kindly…
Read MoreIt seems we’re back to square one. It has been two years since moving into our flat and sadly, we have to move out. We took it for granted that the landlord would renew but annoyingly the property Gods are against us and so off we go again on the search for another part of…
Read MoreWe’re having a little Sunday ponder. Now we’re not saying we’re not happy in our new flat, not in the slightest, but isn’t it funny how you go to view a property usually just the once, sometimes you’ll go back a second time and that’s all your going on. When David first told his mum…
Read MoreOne of the main concerns we had when moving into our flat was getting our freecycled sofa through the door and into our lounge. Now, we don’t exactly live in Buckingham Palace, so we knew we were going to have to be a bit savvy when manoeuvring it in… After taking the legs off and…
Read MoreGreetings everyone! We write this with a cup of tea whilst sat at the kitchen table in our new flat with big smiles on our faces. Firstly, you’ll have to excuse us for the delay in posting – moving, unpacking, heading back to work and a lack of internet has meant that we haven’t been…
Read MoreIf you follow either of us on Twitter or Instagram (and if you don’t then why ever not – details here), then you’d probably have noticed that we have been up to our eyeballs in boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… and more boxes…. Once we had moved in to the flat we took much delight…
Read MoreToday we’re picking up the keys, potentially arguing with our delivery driver and breaking our backs moving boxes. Tomorrow we’ll fill you in on how it all went but for now wish us luck and look out Tooting Broadway – we’re coming! David & Mark x
Read MoreYesterday David waved goodbye to his flat in Northwood. The van came at 2 in the afternoon, loaded David’s boxes, suitcases and furniture and off it headed. Unfortunately we can’t move in to the new flat until next weekend so in the meantime we’re staying at Mark’s. Full of excitement of the new flat and…
Read MoreAs our new pad is fully furnished, we now annoyingly have too much furniture. We both have our own beds and wardrobes which we now have to find a way to get rid of. The wardrobe proved to be an easy task and one which provided much needed stress release – a simple, flat pack…
Read MoreIn order to make the living together as seamless as possible, we’ve decided to be grown ups and get a joint account. Needless to say, the process isn’t as exciting as we’d like it to be. It’s definitely an option we’d been thinking about and upon reflection, it’s the easiest thing to do. As we’re…
Read MoreWe’re currently at that weird in-between stage where nothing really is happening but everything feels as if it should. Since we got the news that the flat is ours we knew that we’d have to fill out forms, have our referencing accepted, pay the deposit and other admin fees, pack, book the removal vans and…
