So, further to my previous whine, I have good news and not so great news.

I shall begin with the not so great news.

It is 1.20 am and, on the couch asleep is the aforementioned housemate. He goes to sleep there every night and he snores like an elephant seal. A big one.

However, all is not lost. In my pocket is the key to my spanking new house. With someone I know is sane and reasonable and pleasant. I can rely on my food staying put, I needn't refuse to answer the door in case it's the Environmental health bunch about the noise again, I needn't get worried about whether the gas is turned off.

Yay for moving day !!
