Ronnie Wood still with the Russian...EPA/ANDY RAINThe 61-year-old former Rolling Stones guitarist - who left rehab earlier this year - is said to be planning to live in the "converted warehouse" with his 20-year-old Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, who is blamed for the split between Ronnie and estranged wife Jo after he ran away with her to Ireland on a drinking binge in July.A source told Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Ronnie and Ekaterina were at London's Covent Garden Hotel earlier this week and were talking about their new home. Ronnie said it's a converted warehouse with plenty of space for his art."Ekaterina and her friends talked about having a housewarming party and joked that Ronnie was trying to be the cool kid on the block!"Meanwhile, Jo has vowed not to move out of the pair's former martial home in England's Surrey district, but admits she is having fun getting rid of some of Ronnie's belongings.Jo, 53, said: "I have no plans to move, I love my house and it's been great binning things I never really liked. "I've a lovely pink kitchen with a great big vintage sink and a vegetable garden where I grow everything. I just know 2009 is going to be good for me."It was recently claimed Jo was worried Ronnie was spending £10,000 a week to "spite her", by throwing parties for his friends and buying presents for Ekaterina.A source said: "Jo is at the end of her tether with Ronnie, worried that soon he will have nothing left. And she believes he is spending this money to spite her. "Life is difficult enough without Ronnie putting pressure on their finances. He is like an infatuated teenager doing everything he can to impress his girlfriend."
