Newbie!!

Hi Kirsty,

welcome to the boards. I've only been here a few months, and already it feels like home!

Picking up on the taking-pics-of-new home suggestions - DEFINITELY!! And also the garden if you have one. When I moved into my flat four years ago the garden was shoulder height with weeds and thistles. I cleared the lot, found the lawn, have made veg beds and tidied. Then the letting agent had the nerve, when I have ten demi-johns on my lawn this Winter, to point out that my contract requires that I keep the garden "tidy"!!!!! I wrote them a stroppy letter, bluffing that I have video tape showing the state of the garden when I moved in, and that I have actually made the garden! I wish I had pics, in case of strife from them later on!

Anyway, I know you'll enjoy this place, your posts so far show that you're well on the way to Old Style already!

happy new home!

Hi Kirsty and welcome. Enjoy your new life together. My advise is not money saving, but as a long time married old biddy I would say always make sure that you talk to each other. And good luck with the baby plans.

On my second Marriage, well nearly, when we can afford it, it f there's one thing i've learnt, it's to talk about everything and anything.

Have fun being old style,, everyone's great here, a good source of inspiration, and encouragement.:D

And we all learnt it from Elvis as he was here before us! :rotfl:



:hello: Kirsty and Steve (and I do mean AND Steve - make him come on here and learn some tips as well! If you have a baby he'll need to make you a promise jar for treats when you come out of hospital; learn to cook lovely, nutricious meals on his own; get washing tips for when he puts a red sock in with the whites etc etc :rotfl: )

Today is a very exciting day for me and my boyfriend (Steve), as we get the keys to our first rented flat together (in too much debt and too low a credit score at the mo for anyone to give us a mortgage - *sigh*).
REALLY looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hi, Kirsty. Missed this thread first time around. Hope the move went smoothly and you are both settling in to your new home!

Best wishes. Jo.
