Holding my breath Detroit... let us know when those keys are in your hand.

I'm standing outside on the corner.. suitcase in my hand...sweet Jane...

Here I am...

Is handover at 4.30? Given how tense I feel, you must be ready to explode/implode!

Detroit Home and dry by now? In socks? I do hope so. And Mr Carrot would like a link to your author page, please.

Who are you hexxing??!

I am in. Just got the last of my stuff in, the keys in my purse. I am home

Totally dumbfounded

I started moving at 3.40pm. Had to go and pick up a parcel...I didn't actually stop until 7.50pm

No one helped from shelter. Not even shifting a bag

But you're in and have your own front door at last. Well done. I'm so happy for you.

Such good news to hear you're safely behind your own front door. Enjoy x

I'm laying down on my blow up mattress, having eaten a large dose of medical marijuana, cooked supper in my own kitchen, and even located kettle and my cuddly bulldog.

Hurray!
Sorry you didn't get any help, but you did it!

Detroit I am so thrilled for you, and wish you great happiness in your new home!

Put on some Joni Mitchell for all us vipers sometime and have a little boogie. I'll provide the imaginary celebratory gin!

Yay! You're in!
Welcome to your new home. Have a fab time there.

Yay! I'm so glad you're in your new home.

I'd love to see a doggy pic.

Well done Detroit! Knew you would do it!! Love the socks btw!! Now you can relax and breathe, and now that you have found the kettle (an essential item!) you can have a hot drink whenever you like. Great news!

for you and your new home Detroit.

I've been lurking since we were told we'd been mentioned here, but I just want to send Detroit very best wishes and I hope you have every happiness in your new home

Yay Detroit! Drinks all round , new battery in the glitter ball and let's party like we all have new hips.

Congratulations Detroit! I’m so pleased for you 🎉

woo hoo Detroit! Happy new home! I have put Summer's End on the pub jukebox in your honour.

Hello! Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I am just about awake! After ten months of having to get up for 'wellness checks' - aka prison style stand by yer beds shit - I am enjoying not having to be dressed, present and correct! I never even got a lay in once a week! I am being terribly lazy.

I could really get back into bed and just not move! It really is a lovely apartment!

Hi Detroit!

Word is spreading about your good news. I'm so pleased for you.

Book, a bloody book! That's so fantastic. I will definitely buy it.

Yep, when the book comes out we can have a stack for sale on a nice table at the back, away from goats and camels.

Hey Datun! Long time no see!! I know, right! A book! I am almost more excited about working on the magazine. I am taking a few days off to try and get the apartment settled then back to the huge hurry to get this ready in time for December.

I am so lucky that my editor is such a fabulous woman, and the publishing house is so cool. Indie publishers rock!

As domesticated as I now am, I am still in awe that people want to read my book...I never know whether to say thank you, or sit here going red. I have been working very hard these last 8 months or so, and the success I have had so far is...still very shocking.

Did I mention I have an apartment...It is rather smart! There is stain glass and a boarded up dumb waiter. I am swanning around like I live here!

Ooh that sounds faab. Loads of character.
