As 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 MoreTTFN, Tooting
In 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 MoreHomeless Bound
It 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 MoreWhy can’t you test drive a home?
We’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 MoreA match made in heaven…almost
One 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 MoreWelcome to Fairlight Road…
Greetings 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 MoreMovin’ on Up…
If 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 MoreIt’s moving day!
Today 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

Whilst packing up ready for the move we came across a clattering bag which we completely forgot about and it turns out that it was a year ago that we had bought, packaged them up and placed them in to hibernation ready for there awakening in the new flat. We spotted this Scandi coffee set…
Read MoreGoodbye number 8
Yesterday 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 MoreFeeling shifty
As 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 MoreWaiting game
We’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…
Read MoreBoxing it up
Yesterday marked the start of David packing. August for us is quite a busy month; with planned drinks and birthdays, to a week long trip to Glasgow followed by a weekend in Portsmouth. That means that with the moving date being September 6th, the big day is going to creep up faster than you can…
