Thanks guys,

of course there is the owning a home thing. Which will be difficult...

Was gonna say something denoting enthusiasm but felt it would be weird after that post so I just go with "Good luck bro!"

Hope it goes well Mitch! If I make it back to the UK before I leave France it'd be great to have another beer or three with you.

well i guess when i move out of my parents house it's DEFINITELY getting its own thread

Im a 35 year old dude living with his girlfriend of 10 years in the apartment they own in central London  (we got really lucky with our first place. got it part-ownership with Peabody and inherited some decade-old key-worker incentive scheme which means we pay no rent on the unbought share - saves us the best part of a grand a month. I know Peabody have other anachronistic anomalies like this knocking about so its worth looking into)

still working half the year at night and clowning about for the other half

currently in Japan for three weeks - mostly playing golf, drunk

Just moved from West London, where I lived the last 2 years, to North London. Live with my girlfriend, work for a marketing company. It's been a hectic couple of years, hopefully things are settling down a bit now.

Very much enjoying reading about the success of fellow loppers. Keep it up!

For those of you who didn't see on Facebook*, I did this. I just about managed to speak when the time came.

The pics are terrific, Mitch and I'm happy for you.

love conquers cynicism

and by that i mean your love conquers my cynicism about things

Well done sir.

Was just thinking about this today and wondered if it had gone well. Missed this thread of course. Congrats!
