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.

Congrats and tell those psycho neighbours to fuck the hell off. Great start to the year and enjoy it and be lovely to have a lovely home to relax in away from those horrible people. Good news and wishing you well. We are in a lovely social housing home all modern and no neighbours across from us and after moving 5 times is a dream. xx

You have made my new year. Dutifully and willingly excited for you! Enjoy your new home.

Great start to the new year 🥳🥳

KarenNotAKaren · 01/01/2024 10:18

getting ready to go now! Eeeek!

Cunty landlord strikes again though - January rent due tomorrow, I was only gonna pay 2 days as I’ll be out by tomorrow evening. However he is saying I need to pay for the whole month and he will return whatever overpayment I have made when I go. Feel like just replying ‘lol’

PSA: Do not put a Christmas stocking containing chocolate on the floor when you have UFH. 😳

Happy New Home.

Forget about cunty today, today is for the new home!

Hope you're there now, just enjoying your new space. Nothing beats that first mug of tea on the floor, with nothing else but those excited little hopes of what this new house will bring to you =)
