Moving house is shit and exciting in equal measure
I've been here just over two years and I just about feel settled. Wait. Are you a girl?

Finally buying a house was a great feeling
although apparently the rest of europe just happily rents and we shouldn't actually give a shit about buying...

i'd rent forever
If we had the freedom to decorate, or have pets, or actually treat it like my own home. English landlords are too strict to allow a vibrant rental market. That and now I own something MASSIVE.

My landlord's ace
He only lives over the road and I think I've seen him three times. He leaves me to look after the place, except the time I got a leaky roof, I'm no good at that stuff.

maybe its the south
But all the landlords I've had are so right-assed and strict, some wouldn't even let us put pictures up in fear of damaging walls.

I think mine's just too busy to be arsed.
It's quite touristy here and he has a full B&B to run most of the year.

Our best landlord said
"would you mind only paying me £400 a month, as it's with a better agency?" after we'd agreed to pay £450 with a posher one... Good old Bal.

We were great tennants, but mostly our landlords had noooo idea what to expect from tennants and thought we were bad.

two years hassle free tenenancy plus a few carpet stains and kitchen counter burns = good tennants

I cleaned the carpets

well obviously
You're civilised. Not all stains come out though. Blue poster paint in this instance.

All counted for shit when our final landlady tried to defraud us by making out invoices for work that wasn't done. We got our deposit back pretty quickly when we explained what she was doing wasn't exactly legal.

no
But I feel any day that involves "colour palett" moves me closer to my feminine side. Or just makes me a bit gay. Would be doing the manly gruff building myself if I didn't still have a buggered leg.

I shall tailor my replies appropriately

That's why
I built a wooden playhouse last year instead of picking carpets.
