No Broadband & No TV Make Darren A Sad Boy

OK I admit it. I'm a shameless example of the digital age and I get withdrawal from my technology. We have been in residence at the new premises for 6 days now and, aside from a few plumbing issues and the fact that the downstairs floor still doesn't exist, everything is going well. I'm just missing my Sky Digital and my ADSL line.

How sad! I hear you cry, and you'd be right. Although it has to be said, when I lived in Twickenham I survived with no TV for over 6 months so I'm overreacting somewhat.

The move last Friday was performed by 4 guys and a truck, while PK and myself busied ourselves cleaning the flat until it was spotless. I wish the previous owners of this house had done the same. It was a complete and utter mess when we moved in. The bathroom was disgusting and I don't think the oven had been cleaned in about 4 years! It took me the best part of an hour and a half to clean just the oven racks this morning.

The theory goes that, this time next week, everything will be nearing completion. We'll have a floor downstairs, hot water, possibly a carpet, ADSL and all the kitchen appliances. I'll post the piccies I promised below at that point.
