I can never decide which plants to buy, and if I do forget to water them. Telly I'm not so sure about, no wifi at the minute, so been watching DVDs, and just plonking TV in front of stereo when needed, but got my hands on a DVD of the Tudors yesterday for (20 pence!!) and I was dismayed at the jauntiness of the movement, that is when characters move , especially in a fast action scene, it looks to my eye unrealistic, I prefer the old tube TVs in that respect, and I'm thinking now of trying to get hold of one again. I know they're big and bulky but I might give it a try, does it still work with wifi though?

So, tell me, what was the first record you played in your new abode? :)

I can't remember, but I guess it was probably something from the ECM label, cos that's practically all I listen to these days.

Check out the charity shops for curtains, they usually have some.
Note down the size of the window first.

Good call this, have done the same many a time. You can pick up good quality ones for peanuts but if you don't carry the dimensions around with you at all times you don't know if they will fit. (I had them saved in a note in my phone and got a pair of c. 8' tall and 5' wide ones for the new loft for £3, they looked brand new and had the dark room lining stuff so were perfect.)

There are a lot of oldies here, but officially I could no longer afford Brighton, not unless I'd be happy living in one room.

Thanks, it's really decent lounge, rest of the flat is a bit shit, but I'm working on it.

Should have moved up here bet you could rent a 3 bed detached for the same as that flat. Although it does look like a good flat.
