Can I ask you to please get excited with me - getting keys for dream home tomorrow!

FINALLY I can leave my horrible pokey rental with the psychotic stalker landlord, charging a fortune for a tiny house with a kitchen/living area the size of a postage stamp and a 4 ft x 4ft yard and no parking within about 200 feet.

Got this rental for a stop gap (all they had locally at the time and I had to be out my rental before that, with basically 0 other options) until I could afford to live where I’m moving tomorrow. Underfloor heating <swoons> a huge south facing garden, a DISHWASHER again, double oven and neighbours who hopefully don’t scream “Fuck off you fucking cunt” to each other at 3am (They are mother and (adult) son!)

I get the keys at 11. Technically not supposed to be in til the 2nd but the lovely owner is emigrating and is only in town til tomorrow morning, she wanted to show me how everything works herself.

I can barely fall asleep I’m so excited.

Congratulations!! Don't blame you for being excited, what a lovely start to 2024 for you!

Oh and to have the pleasure of cooking a meal AWAY from the living room is almost more than I can bear. To not have to time the washing machine to late night because I can’t hear the TV. I will never take this for granted agaib

Thank you 😊

I may actually just lie on the floor all winter. I’ve never experienced under floor heating before 😂

Enjoy OP especially the underfloor heating it’s lush. I have it and my dog and I frequently lie on the floor luxuriating in the heat. Congratulations on your new home 🥳

That’s another thing - I can have a dog if I want! I probably won’t but it’s nice to have options 😂
