and yes it IS what I did

As did I Tim, and probably most who are reading this, and are of our
age group.Â* I started in a shared furnished flat, then bought my first
house, not in the best part of town.Â* Moved in with nothing new.
Everything, from cutlery and crockery to bedding and towels to
furniture and carpets was scrounged from friends and family.Â* The
spare bedroom was bare floorboards and no furniture, but I didn't
care.Â* It was home. An ancient B&W TV. Later, a twin tub.#

Or 2 hours on a succession of green line buses down to Epsom
