Such a shame you can't have one Michelle. Do you not have a shady, sheltered spot where you could give it a go? They can be quite tricky and temperamental (I lost all the leaves off my 6' Acer due to a position change - too windy) but are worth it for the colour. So long as you keep them well watered in the heat and out of the wind you should be OK.
Good luck with it Doglet! Please post a photo when it comes into leaf. Which Acer did you get?
