    Got the housing benefit/council tax benefit and CCG forms through the post today ready for when we have the tenancy agreement and moving in date.

    I wanted to get them asap so that I can fill them in and send them off straight away.

    We have a wardrobe and bookcase from Ikea. The wardrobe is a tiny bit unstable (it took me ages to shake off the feeling that it's going to fall on top of me.:o).

    I do like looking around Ikea though and I used to wander around and dream of when DH and I got our own place how we'd make look.

    Not such a distant dream anymore. :D

    Desks. I have a desk from IKEA (upon which I am now typing) which I bought for £30 in 1998, and have used ever since. It's great.

    DH is going to need a desk because he's a musician so has loads of music equipment that he needs to attach to his Macbook.:o

    We had the pre-tenancy interview today and things are looking like the handover will be around the 9th December. Exciting! Also, earlier than I anticipated it would be as they're new builds but exciting never-the-less. :D
