Absolutely! I think @rubber_jonnie has set the benchmark quite high with his new office!

Hope all goes smoothly and that you are moved in and up & running retro-wise in no time @Icky

I expect to be fully outdone by @Icky, and happily so :)

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Finally got the keys to the new place at 19:30 this evening. What a nightmare it has been getting here and still I have no stuff as its coming out of storage and will be arriving Wednesday.

I could go on and on about all the crazy utilities company conversations I have had including the broadband to transfer or move over. I think the world has gone crazy in a scripted manner to a point I managed to get them tied up in knots to get out of extra charges etc. for a few of them.

But I have the keys and we will be in before Christmas.

Congratulations on the new place!
