Hooray!! After a lot of hard work by Anna (and none from me) we are now the proud owners and residents of our new 7th floor flat in Southfields with panoramic views of London.
We moved in on Saturday which was pretty easy because we didn't have much stuff as nearly everything we own is in our house in Essex. Never mind. The Tesco range of value kitchen goods has seen us right and the previous owner left the fridge, freezer, sofa (Which has a lot of stains!?!?) and a wardrobe. These along with our sofa bed have turned it quickly in to a minimalist home. We do lack some major items. Namely a washing machine and a cooker but hopefully these will be sorted out next weekend.
We were greatly looking forward to welcoming our first visitor. However, we didn't expect it to be the TV license inspector. He came to check we didn't have a TV and then sold us a licence for when we do have one (hopefully also next weekend). Our first real visitor was Anna's brother Simon.
The new flat means a different commute for both of us. Anna has cut her journey time down from almost and hour and a half to about 30 mins. I'm now flying in and out of Heathrow which means my days with Stansted are done and I also don't have to fly budget airlines. Oh the joy of having an assigned seat. I will however miss all of my Stansted friends....yeah right.

Congratulations you guys! I am sure I speak for a lot of your web audience when I say it would be nice to see some pics of your place. Can it be arranged please? Pretty please?
I hope you've had as many takeaways as possible as I find that moving provides a great excuse to indulge...
