    QuackersLodger moves in on Monday! She actually met NiceSoFarLodger this evening and he approves :grin:

    Sorry Hollywood, if I'd known there was an Applicant 6 like that I'd surely have waited! :rotfl:

    Sounds as though it's all going well in Badger_Lady's house.

    I hope that QuackersLodger is a good addition to your house and you all get on well :)

    Wow you have a home gym. This is the best deal I've ever heard of for 300 quid. Is there a reason I've never been to newport? (I am welsh so not dissing wales). Or maybe I've just been in London too long to know what rent is in normal places.
    I reckon Badger's deal is a good one . Don't know much about Newport itself but I do know that if you live in Ponty and you have been as far along the bottom of Wales as Newport it means that you are a seasoned traveller...........;)

    OK, QuackersLodger is my new best friend! She came round with her boyfriend last night for wine and snacks and the boyfriend was genuinely freaked out by how similar we were... thinking along the same wavelengths, and apparently we have the same accent despite never having lived in the same county as one another...

    She doesn't have any friends in the area (hasn't lived here long) so I've promised to take her along to everything and meet the people I know. Can't wait!!! :grin:


    I hope that QL is settling in well and all is ok? Is no news good news I wonder? Here's hoping so!
    Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j

    Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of the movie "Single White Female" (except that it was the landlady who had the boyfriend, not the lodger) :eek::eek::eek:

    Just kidding, I hope she works out as great as she sounds :T

    Hey guys, long time no update!

    I took QuackersLodger out with me last night; she's officially one of the crew. Determined to decorate as well, but I trust her taste :wink:. We've also had a new kitchen fitted during the last week, though we've all been too busy to put anything in it yet...

    So it's all a bit quiet! In fact, I think I'm alone in the Big Badger House this evening. But for those who are interested, we've gone all a-Twitter: http://twitter.com/EmilyBadger

    :wink:

  • Hey Badger Lady,

    New kitchen, I'm sooo jealous!! My poor kitchen desperately needs a facelift, it's falling apart!

    Glad Quakers is settling in nicely! :)
