Still got to find a flat. I did find a fairly adequate one. Quite cheap too. Main turn off is the electric cooker and lack of gas heating.

I'm wondering if I should hold out for gas or not though. It's rather nice. Described as "quirky" by the letting agent. Has an upstaris as well as a downstairs. And that's about it really. 2 rooms - one on top of the other. No idea how it came into existence. Nobody would build a place like that, surely.

Decisions decisions.

That's about it really. I've had such a dull week.

It depends on how long you expect to be there (in my opinion anyway). I lived in a gasless flat (it had oxygen) for 2 years and after a while it was only mildly annoying. You *do* learn to cook without gas...just. It was quite expensive to heat despite economy 7 heaters but only a problem in winter.
On a more positive note: new flat=exciting! eeeee!

Oh, I can cook on a ceramic hob. It simply requires a heatproof mat near the cooker to use as an alternative to turning the gas down.

It's just a slightly irritating inflexible way of cooking when compared with gas.

I agree... gas is much nicer! But if it's not forever & the flat's nice go for it (quirky sounds fun!)... with regards to heating with electric just make sure the windows fit &/or have thick curtains & keep a pile of jumpers/blankets handy!
