These Legs are Made for Walking?

We saw 5 apartments today. I say 'we' because Dee took some time off work to view 3 of the apartments with me.

It was good having him around as I'd have given an eager nod to a lot more properties than he. And the man is, ultimately, the ONE we REALLY need to cater to.

Hang on, am I making it sound like my opinions don't matter? Of course they do. It's just that I'm letting Dee have the final say, that's all. It is important to me that he's comfortable with the new residence because, in truth, he is Mr Pay-ALL-the-bills, as well as the one who's enduring work shit, stress, and then some. So even if his criteria seem a weeeeeeeeee bit inflexible (3 min walk to the Tube! 3 min walk to the Tube! 3 min walk to the Tube!), I'm willing to accede to all of them (or all of 'it'? as there seems to be only 1?).

In any case, I know Dee would never FORCE me to say 'yes' to a place I absolutely abhor.

We didn't put the offer in for the lovely Tunley Road maisonette in the end. Dee's legs, (literally) stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of the distance from that flat to the Tube. The twin terrors then went on a lengthy diatribe, and even threatened to go on strike should we take up the apartment. Fearing they'd stop work...walking for him, Dee buckled at the knees and begged me to concede to their unreasonable demands. They were and are, his ONLY means of transport. If they wouldn't move him, who would? Lazy stumps.

So alas, despite 63 Tunley Rd's near-pristine and plush conditions, we had to say NAY.

Then we saw another property, a 1 Bedroom unit along Balham High Road. Very nice apt - quite new, clean, cozy. Most imptly, it's CLOSE to the Tube! But I envisage we will have a storage problem if we take this one up. The house comes with v little cupboard space. Plus, where is Danielle going to sleep? In the reception? On the floor? In the tub? In our bed (No way! No way!)? We're still keeping that KIV though, until...

...we view another apartment that's just gone on the market. Get this - it's on the same street as our current flat! Woo hoo! I hear it has an attic and all, and from the pictures, the reception (aka living room) looks spacious, and has good natural lighting. I'm like, TOTALLY psyched for the viewing tomorrow! This property is located at the far end of H Road though, not at the start of the street like our current place. But it's still at H Road, and to Dee, that's ALL that matters!

Prayers please! :)
