Moving to the Palace

Well I know I said in a previous post that I was a bit iffy about the unit, but after seeing what else was on offer in my price range, when I was notified that my application was accepted (even though my son reckons he gave me a bad build up and told the real estate I belted them......liar liar, pants on fire)   I decided to take the unit.  It is CLEAN!!!

It has so much more to offer than the others.  Lots of phone, tv points, power points etc.  If the worst comes to the worst surely someone in the family will have a double bed I can swap for my queen. The other places did not have anywhere near as much.

Has only one sink, but can live with that...because the stove is new ...I can keep it that way.

It even has grab rails in the bathroom and toilet and lots of cupboard space in the kitchen, and a linen cupboard in the hall.  There are good hooks everywhere that I will be able to hang my pictures on.  So all these things are plusses that no where else had. I think I will be happy with it...and am sure I will be able to enhance the gardens that are there....and it is CLEAN!!!!

Honestly I could not believe the state of some places that people will rent...one place looked great from the outside, but when I opened the kitchen drawers and cupboards I knew I would vomit if I had to live with them.  It also smelled of old mould, and had no other benefits apart from the aspect from the street and the area. Then another place I only looked in a window and it was typical of what the outside showed so we did not even stay for the viewing. 

So here is my new CLEAN!!! home to be which is a palace and so clean compared to anything else I inspected.   I am hoping to move in early January providing I can get the removalists then.  Haven't got a firm date for them yet.

Oh and there is even a gardener comes in to mow the lawns which is included  in the very reasonable and affordable rent.

Does anyone get the idea I am big on cleanliness  and hygiene?  Wonder how long that lasts when all I have to do is sew, sew sew....not it will I can clean at night when I can't see to sew because I wont have anyone saying they want total silence after 6pm when the news comes on.

Sorry the photos are out of order.

This is the back garden and the fence divides my unit from the other one on the block which faces the next street.

Think this will be the most important room in the house ...my sewing /computer room that overlooks the sunroom

Inside sunroom

View from front the road off to the left is my own private parking space for visitors.  It is at the end of a cul-de-sac and there is an easement walk through down the side to the next street so can cut through that and wont have far to walk to the bus stop.
