We finally found a flat!

Six weeks ago (yes, SIX weeks), when we first started looking for somewhere, we saw a very nice flat in a block about two minutes from the station. It was just about big enough for us (the only niggle being that the kitchen is a little small) and has a garden and a parking space (not that we have a car, but always useful for visitors). The trouble was it was too expensive, by about £200pcm.

Well yesterday we got it. They've knocked that £200 off the price and we finally have a flat.

We were in Wimbledon all day yesterday frantically trying to find something. We walked into this agents just to chance our luck and they tried to offer us the flat. We explained that we'd already seen it and while we really like it, it was just too expensive. The agent got on the phone there and then and knocked the guy straight down. It was brilliant.

And now no more trips out house hunting. We can finally have a life again (for two more weeks until we have to start packing).
