All grown up??
by Emsbabee @ 2006-08-17 - 22:48:08

Aargh, I'm an adult. The boy and I have found a flat. It's right on Brighton seafront. Between a chippy and a rock shop. It's quite small but you can see the sea from every window, and it has a breakfast bar:

Home sweet home

Next week, we are putting the rest of the deposit down. Then opening a joint bank account, buying a toaster, getting a subscription to 'Homes and Gardens', ordering matching raincoats off the back of the Daily Mail, spending Sundays arguing in garden centres. It's gonna be all gooey and cosy and we can have friends round for dinner and key parties and awkward silences.

Is anybody going to the Notting Hill Carnival? Danny and I will be there with a bunch of over-excited asylum seeking teenagers, sharing a small flask of gin and trying to stop everybody from falling under the floats. Feel free to pretend you didn't see us.

Cheers ducky. I'm not sure when it's considered appropriate to bring swinging into your life, but as I'm now sharing a bedroom with somebody for the first time since I was 11, it seems as good a time as any. X

I like cleaning, it's very therapeutic AND gives me something to get pious about in arguments

When a man finds a woman who's prepared to hand wash, tumble dry and then iron his pants, he knows he's found a good 'un.

So I guess those old teddy bears will be chucked out now you'll be sharing your bed with a real person.
Good luck with it all. I'm sure you will find reserves of patience that you never knew you had to put up with all those little idiosancrisies (?) that other people have that you never noticed before you started living together. Don't let me put you off though, just trying to help you break in gently to the realities of having someone there first thing in the morning, every morning.
Ah, you'll be fine! With such a great view you are lucky, and I hope the view in will be one of love, laughter and many good times.

Brighton is grand. Grand, grand. Lucky lucky.

Probably going to the carnival as my flatmate has some crazy idea about buying lots of Red Stripe to sell on at a considerable profit. Probably entails making a big sign from something we find in the street. And then drinking most of our stock. So... er... yeah, what you said.

Did you admit to "liking" cleaning?

Well did you missy?

It's bastard ace it is........

Just make sure you have his and hers matching rubber marigolds. It don't really matter what you with, or indeed, in them. But cleaning covers a multitude of sins x ;)

Yes, yes I did, I'm not ashamed and nor should you be. A good scrubbing can get rid of a lot of pent-up emotion.

But I'll only be purchasing the marigolds for me better half ;) X

'Natch?' Who says that, except for someone writing in a magazine for troubled teenagers. (I know, all teenagers are troubled.)
