I got exciting news...
Subject to my references going through, I think I've got a house! (Renting) In London... and subject to all that being good, I'm moving down on the 1st July!

Have been mega busy, whipped to submission (and not in a good way - boo) at work, so not much b3ta play for me, but wanted to share coz I'm very very very very very excited! And best of all is that the house is lovely and they are fine with me bringing my dog!

*will be bloody relieved when the moving in is done*

As I've not been here - how goes it with the jobbage? Did you go to that reptile place after all?

I don't know Eltham
sounds like Surrey or Herts to me...

I did a trial shift there yesterday and it was really good. I should know in a couple of weeks if I got it or not.

Although one of them has a red carpet and bronze tinted mirrored wardrobes... Niiiice.

Come and stay! Mr Psyche won't even notice.

Bagsy that room
Mirrors sound kinky ;)
(, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 22:25, Reply)
That's what I thought at first...
But somehow the bronze tint and the gold frame make it seem less so... Mr P was describing the house (as he lives in Londonville already he had seen it first, naturally) and my first thoughts were... one side of the room mirrored - how kinky! We could watch ourselves...

Well, to be fair, we could watch ourselves sleep... But in sexy head thoughts land there is a whole world of possibility for that room. But it would have to be seedy because of the bronze tint and the red carpet.

Waitaminute... seedy is not necessarily bad...
