We showed Jane's parents the new place, they seem to be happy enough. I'd be miffed if they didn't at least pretend as we're very happy. We discussed sofas and have decided firmly on the one that we want this time, and have decided for certain that we're not going for a sofa-bed - the extra cost doesn't justify it IMO.

We discovered that the lovely landlady is nice, and she has bought curtains and a washing machine for the house, both of which we thought we'd end up paying for. This is a good thing, saving £300+ in the short term. We only need a drier and sofa now.

I'm currently on hold to T-Mobile, as I think I need to argue out an upgrade with them. They think I can upgrade in November, despite me agreeing to no 18mth commitment when I upgraded last April. I'm prepared to make a fuss today - really need a new phone, mine's becoming unreliable.

Success. Knowing one's rights and the processes makes life so much easier. I have a new Sony Ericsson flippy phone being delivered in the next couple of days.
