Yes at last I am in my new flat!
I have re-built the water damaged bay window, and as I suspected the moggies love the new cat friendly wide sills. Spike practically lives on there now watching the world go by.
I have also had the place carpeted with a nice black cat unfriendly light colour carpet, that made a hell of a difference I can tell you 
The shitty electric token meter has been removed at last, can’t get the gas token meter out for a month though because its from a different supplier so I have to wait till the service has been transferred to my supplier Grrrr On the plus side, I have downgraded my internet connection to a 10mbit connection but now get land line telephone and basic digital TV package included for 12 quid a month less than I was paying for just internet.
I still have loads of work to do, next on the list is fitting shelving in the huge walk in wardrobe in the bedroom. It’s the only place I have to store all my junk and at the moment everything has been piled up in there in a precarious way, I am fairly confident that sooner or later when I open the door everything is going to flow into the bedroom! Also I have already noticed that whatever I want out of there is ALWAYS at the bottom.. More Grrrr
Curtains are also pretty high on the agenda, not that I will ever be bothered to close them because there are no houses that look in, but the windows do look a tad bare without.
All I need now is 5 or more numbers on the lottery to pay for it though, I have been spending money like its going out of fashion since I got the place and I am getting very near to scraping the bottom of the barrel – donations to my PayPal please 
Anyway, that’s the state of affairs at the moment, I will try to get some photos of the place uploaded sometime soon so you can all have a gander at my castle(ette).
