Got an email back from accommodation office, none of the flats were on the ground floor _hurray!
The one starting Aug 31st has been taken, so we asked her to make an offer on the one starting Sept 10th instead. The whole thing has suddenly become much more real. Last night K and I agreed to put our names down for an allotment when we get to Edinburgh, as a sign of long term commitment! Sod Mills and Boon, that is my idea of High Romance!!
I then spent quite a pleasurable evening browsing the ikea website looking for suitable tableware sets. We are, after all, going to be post-grads, and models of taste _{if not high expenditure}. No more mis-matching crockery for us! _{There is even talk of getting a mug-tree, and perhaps one of those posts to put the kitchen towel on. I never even had kitchen towel in the house when I was little – upper middle classes, here I come!}
