Living room, sometimes shortened just to “reception”.
Say what you want about British food, the organic Apple Crumble at the Duke of Cambridge ‘makes my skirt fly up’. The Pioneer Woman taught me that phrase. Do you like it? Does it sound good on me?
Real Estate Agent or Realtor.
The biggest Easter news story since the resurrection.
Quite pleased. Tickled. Almost giddy. (i.e. The Landlord is chuffed to have you as tenants – a nice, stable, married, professional couple.)
A big stinkin’ house that has been converted into separate, smaller (obviously) properties.
A “conversion” is what an estate agent would explain is a flat within a large mansion house, which has been converted into separate smaller properties (or flats). If it is another type of conversion, they will add a modifier like “warehouse”, “schoolhouse”, “houseboat” – you get the point.
Joy and pain – like sunshine and rain. And it takes two to make a thing go right.
(noun) A vacuum. Of any kind. No matter what brand. i.e. Does the flat come with a hoover?
(verb) Vacuum. i.e. Will you be so kind as to hoover before the guests arrive, dear?
Anus. (If you ask me, that’s an exit – not an entrance.)
Warning! This post contains photos of a double chin – my double chin, regrettably. I would like to make excuses. There are none. Love me through this challenging part of my life.

Saturdays can wear a girl out. That’s not including the laundry that I haven’t started. Laundry. I knew I forgot something today…
To collect money, as in fundraising by asking for donations.
Garbageman. (or “person who collects rubbish”, for those pc people out there.)
Is it possible to fall in love with a flat you’ve never actually seen? Is it possible to grieve the loss of a flat you never lived in? Is it possible to find something better, especially considering you aren’t even sure that what you imagined is accurate? Yes. I specialize in getting what I want. And it’s twenty-ten, baby.
Sled. For sledging (sledding).
Snow brings London to a near stand still – comparative to its normal crazy. But life steadily moves along in the heart of the city. Sister friend is still clunking down the icy pavement in her five inch heels. Bless her cotton socks. Oh, wait?
Slippery. (Well it’s just shorter innit?)
The terminology one must learn to successfully navigate flat hunting pitfalls is daunting. Is it fully furnished and fully fitted or are those the same thing? The underwear on the floor – are they included? Would be the price be negotiable either way?
Isn’t it. (i.e. “That’s wrong way ’round, innit?”)
