Manchester - Our House
Up until now we haven't mentioned our house where we live but thought we would add a few photos so anyone who is interested could actually have a look at our house. I can feel your excitement. We live in Walkden which is about 20 minutes out of central Manchester. There is a bus which goes right near us which goes straight into town. It runs every 10 minutes so its fairly easy to get anywhere we need to go. Just up the road from where we live is a full shopping centre. There is a huge Tesco supermarket, several sports stores, Blockbuster, a mall which has lots and lots of shops. Not to mention BINGO!!!! Bingo seems to be big over here for some reason. I dont think its something we will be doing which is probably a good thing. Every time a number is called i would probably chuckle and whisper "You sank my battleship".
We are just renting a single room in the house with a couple, a 7 year old daughter, and their French Nanny. Its really laid back and everything is going really well. We both get on well with the everyone in the house so its a pleasant living environment.
Anyway.. Our house is a semi detached house and is double storey. On the second floor is a bedroom
and the home office for Chris, the guy we live with. He runs his own business from home and has about 7 PCs up there which is handy. The shower downstairs is huge and actually has a steam switch so you can actually sit down in the shower and its like being in a Sauna. Currently there is Pay TV in 2 rooms, but by the end of the month we should have our own foxtel box in our bedroom as well which will be handy. To make things cooler they are the ones with hard drives in them and you can record stuff. Sky TV over here has much more than Foxtel in Australia. There are so many more channels and a lot of them actually have good stuff on them.
Our room downstairs is actually really good. Its a big room and we have a King Size bed, a TV, our Computer (which we got off ebay!) and a couch. Handy having the computer as we have a webcam and headset etc so its easy to keep in contact with those at home. Yay.. The PC we won off ebay has actually been really really good. Its sad, but it was the cheapest way to get a PC that would do what we wanted. We didn't realise it but it came with a printer that was also a scanner so we have that as well. Its scary but we are using about 12 power points in our bedroom at the moment. Thankfully our rent includes power :-)
Another member of the house i should mention, is the 2 bengal cats. One of them is actually currently pregnant so in 6 weeks or so there should be kittens running around. They actually breed and sell them so that should be pretty cool to see. There is 2 photos. The photo on the left is the cat thats pregnant (Zara). The photo on the right is the other cat (Selina) who i think Renee was trying to blind while taking this photo.
