I was buying my first flat last year but it all fell through at the last minute, for boring legal reasons. I'd had a crappy few years of moving house a lot and having frustrating problems with landlords, and that flat was supposed to be a wonderful end to all of that and my own little space. When it fell apart I was gutted because not only had I lost the flat, but I would have to go through the renting rigmarole again...
But 36*18 - who I met through the forum - very, very kindly offered me a spare room in his place and was extraordinarily kind about that whole thing, putting up with me while I saved up for another try and went to dozens of viewings. I was there for something like 9 months, and in that time he helped me out numerous times with tools and advice. Now I've finally moved into my own place. What a thoroughly bloody nice bloke.
