Title: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Claw75 on September 26, 2007, 06:04:09 PM well as most of you know, I'm currently in the process of separating from my husband. The plan is that he will stay in the flat we are living in now, I will find new rented accommodation, and we will share custody of our daughter. Things haven't moved as quickly as I would have liked on the flat hunting front (mainly due to the extortionate prices in this neck of the woods), but I have an appointment to view a flat tomorrow, so please keep everything crossed for me - the sooner I can get my own space, the sooner I can move on and get on with the rest of my life.
I'd also like to the take the opportunity to say thanks again to everyone on here who has given me such great support over the last few weeks, and lending me an ear be it in person, on the phone, or via the computer. You all know who you are - please grab me at BB5 if you're going and the first drink is on me. Also, a special thanks to a certain someone (who I won't embarrass by naming on here) who arranged for a lovely bunch of flowers to be delivered to me at work today in an effort to cheer me up - it certainly did that :D In short, I'm getting there, feeling optimistic and looking forward to the future. That's in no small part to you guys, so thanks again :) Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Jim-D on September 26, 2007, 06:10:52 PM Glad to hear your doing well Claire, All the best with the flat tomorrow.

Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Mango99 on September 28, 2007, 06:13:14 PM Hi Claire, first I've heard of this!! Sorry to hear the news, and I hope the flat hunting is going well!! :)
Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Claw75 on September 29, 2007, 08:34:39 AM well....I didn't actually get to see that flat after all - the landlord didn't turn up to let me in and I couldn't hang around as I had to collect my daughter. I didn't really like the look of it from the outside anyway. But....I did go to see another flat yesterday - bigger and in a much better location. It needs a good clean and a lick of paint but it's relatively cheap because of that. I've said I want to take it, and am just waiting to hear back from the agents, so fingers crossed, and I could be in there soon.....
Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Jim-D on September 29, 2007, 03:57:03 PM Good news then,
If you need a hand painting then i'm a decorator and be more than willing to help out. Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: celtic on September 29, 2007, 04:08:40 PM decorator in devon offers to help paint flat in london............. blonde community at its best.
nice offer. Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Robert HM on September 29, 2007, 04:16:46 PM A big pan of home made chilli and a home game in the evening will ensure a whole gang of blonde decorators, professional and not so, descending on your new place. We could get this done in a day! lol
Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Claw75 on September 29, 2007, 04:42:31 PM More good news :) When I saw the flat I said I was willing to pay the asking price of £750 a month knowing what work needed doing (these flats usually go for £850). I got a call from the agents today saying that the flat is mine, subject to references, at only £700 and the landlord is in there now cleaning and painting :D Hopefully I'll be in there before too long - Jim and Robert - I'll let you know about that home game and the need to bring paintbrushes or not :D
Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: Robert HM on September 29, 2007, 04:51:03 PM Excellent news!!
PS no need for the food and game, I am sure we could round up a few painters if needed, just let us know.

Fair play to the lads for offering to help too.
What a great week. Everything just seems to be falling into place for everyone after some long hauls on bumpy roads. Title: Re: (another) update from me - and a thank you :) Post by: matt674 on September 29, 2007, 10:25:33 PM did somebody say "house warming party"? ;D
