    Just went back to check the link I posted to make sure that wasn't all I linked to!
    Wow. I think that's about all I can say to that (and not in a Ben Cohen topless Paso Doble kind of a way :))

    I'm glad I took my dog for his evening constitutional before it got dark. He's indoors with us in the living room and he's been going bananas when the firework displays started. He's lying on the floor now looking exhausted. Just hope he hasn't fainted! :D

    Tasha Bless her always lay down in the shower room and had the shakes and salivated a lot I used to get soaking with her on my lap trying to comfort her. Not a nice time for our friends.z.

    Two of our chicks have not come home tonight, I hope they are roosting in a hedge out of harms way.
    You know it's windy when your hens lay the same egg 3x.

    If it's just you, and the second room is mainly for crafts, might it make more sense to have the smaller room (not a tiny one) as a room for you and the bigger one as the ' creative space' with room? It could have a wardrobe in the corner for clothes so it could double as a dressing room.
    No, I've not got much stuff, enough stuff to need somewhere to put it - not a lot of stuff that it needs its own room.

    I would like to get a paddleboard - and I'd need space for my bike. Two more things not great in flats.

    Anyway, it's all academic until I find somewhere..... until I find somewhere, no idea what it'll have, how many rooms, what size, where the light comes in, if there's a garden/shed/garage ......

    I've always had the smallest room - not bothered about which room I sleep in, so long as it's the right one based on all the features/options available.

    In fact, if I designed my own house I'd be quite happy to have two sliding doors that opened... to reveal a bed. Leave the doors open while I'm in bed; close them when I'm not.

    Lir - having my once-in-a-while Saturday night trying on some shoes that I've bought and never worn :o You mentioned your kitchen stilettos were on their way out... Have you seen Melissa shoes?
    I have a dream where I can put together a shoe rack I was bought for Xmas in about 2003 ..... and put shoes on it. Been keeping it in the box "waiting" for the right time.... same with a bread bin I was bought the following year.

    Both flatpacks, still in the boxes.

    I had a shoe rack (IKEA) in our studio flat - so that shoes were taken off pretty much as soon as in the flat (lived by the sofa). Lent it to my bro when I was back chez parents (and he bought his place). Bought an inferior version when I started lodging (a year and a week ago - has gone so quickly, but would never have guessed things would have changed so much by now) which now lives at the bottom of my wardrobe.
    In the nearish future I am planning on lir-ing my wardrobe. It is built in (above the stairwell, also one in the 2nd bedroom) - and I am planning on painting the inside (/ the shelf if feeling tame) fluoro-yellow or something equally surprising).
