OH GEE OH GOSH OH MY
My Ma' is about to view my DREAM FLAT, sounds perfect for me, it's the first one that has ticked all the boxes (the 'resonable boxes', not the 'swimming pool' style boxes).

It's decoration is all nice plain nutrale creams and all that, and it has :-
- Small living room, not to bad, I can be happy. It's got enough room for a dinning table for entertaining though. Double glazed, looks over the comunal gardens.
- A good sized single bedroom which I can eaither rent out or turn into an office... not sure what yet. It has an areal point in it though.
- A double master bedroom, with dimmer-switch lights (HOW COOL IS THAT !??!?!) and areal point and telephone point and built in waldrobes with an ensuite hand bason, shower and shitter.
- A bathroom with bath and shitter and hand bason, tilled all over, with a dimmer for SEXY TIMES ([name], I'm looking at you here).
- A kitchen with built in fridge/freezer, gas hob, extraction fan, oven, stainless steal sink with disposer (HOW COOL IS THAT?), slimline dishwasher and washing machine.
- Lovely grounds and not a stupidly-big mantainance charge.
- 2 minuties from Barnet high street, and 5 minutes from High Barnet Station... so lots of resturants and transport, and 10 minuite walk to the picture house.

It's right on the top end of my budget, really really high up, but if they come down a tiny bit, I can do it, and still get all kinds of new furniture and stuff for it.

Ma' is going to look at it tonight, and I'll look at it on saturday. And they say that if Southgate is the Beverly Hills of North London, then High Barnet is the Manhattern.

I spent a good 5 minutes looking at that
trying to work out what on earth the word was that you'd mis-spelt twice to end up with "shitter" ... and then I realised you meant "shitter"

sad times.

Good luck mate. Although, don't get too excited about dimmer switches, they only cost about a tenner. If you find a flat you like without them I'll put them in for you.

Oh awesome, can you do that? I wouldn't have a clue. My ma's ones sometimes flicker when you put them on low.
Will trade awesome meal times for DIY help.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 14:23, Reply)

probably not got the right bulbs.
You can't put energy saving bulbs in dimmers though, so your electricity bills tend to be brutal unless you've got halogens everywhere, and only 240V halogens can easily be dimmed.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 14:33, Reply)

I donno, my Dad spent a fortune on a home automation thing, there is a computer in the hallway that is connecting all the lights in the living room.
But they only used it to switch the thing 'on' and 'off', and he died before anyone got the chance to learn it, and it flickered all the time.... so a couple of years ago mum got it changed for a normal dimmer lightswitch that works normal, and now we have a £5k computer system in the hallway that does fuck all. I think you can connect other things to it like curtans and the aircon.

Would you like to be set up with someone as friends or is that weird.
