Update since getting the keys!

Evening Folks!

Hello from my first home :j

I got the keys 2 wks ago and have spent since then decorating/painting and gettin the electric as well as gas reconnected [previous rental property so was disconnected due to arrears].

Officially moved in today, through the rain! Had a small wardrobe issue with the staircase which we managed to battle through, otherwise everything is fabulous!

I love everything about the house :T I only have to touch up some glossing which took the brunt of the wardrobe malfunction!

I was quite naive thinking once i got the keys it would be smooth sailing, however, it's definately worth it :beer:
