So does that mean I'm insane, or is it the bank that needs to have the noggin examined sharpish?

But wheeee - so much room! And it's mine! All mine!

Well, the half of it that doesn't belong to the Finley, anyway. Close enough. Bank-endorsed cohabitual bliss, here I come...

Stoatie, you have no idea how close to my heart your suggestion hits. Give me a few days to work on it, and I'll have pics in the mail showing off 'the hive'.

And I left out an important detail: at the entrance to my little neighborhood, there's a stone pillar adorned with a metal sign that reads simply, "The Village". ROCK. Now where'd I leave my stripey shirt?

Oh, that's great news, videodrome. Now you're like grown up and all. Honestly.

(It needs a batcave/similar from which the car can emerge "round the back" a couple of blocks down).

What's it look like then? Is it a 'fixer upper opportunity'? Wow buying a house, I've only just started renting properly and I was feeling all growed up

.
On features you really need a tower of some description, somewhere to conduct your 'research' in, you could disguise it as a windmill if necessary although the giant lightning conductor will be tricky to hide. And tell me how you can get the doors to make that cool noise if you find out.

Congrats on buying a house Videodrome!

I bought my house when I was 22 and I thought I was really young! It was the best thing I ever did though! I can watch TV naked and theirs pants everywhere! My house had pink carpet in everyroom and a nineties spounge effect on all walls, hence forcing me to do it up in my own style! It rocks now!

My advice for decorating is go to B&Q and rob all those paint colour charts and then cut them up and sellotape them together to make corners of rooms. Then you can place other colours in the middle of your corner to get an idea of carpet colours. And you can cut out thin strips to place at the bottom of the "walls" to check out which colour of skirting suits your room. Worked well for my lounge! (Think I might be a bit sad though...)

Nick enough and you can do the actual walls.

I misread that as "Aaaagh! I just bought a horse". seemed a strange thing to go "Aaaagh!" about.

Buy plants. Plant them.

And paint one of the doors something unexpected. Fuschia, perhaps with a large yellow symbol on it.
