    Sent a complaint to my energy supplier FU (Did nobody spot that when they were doing 'name creating'?)

    Not really. Although I have printed off what kitchen's in previously sold properties in the street looked like. Don't think I'll really be excited until I'm in the house with the keys in my hand.
