What gives you your sense of self worth
Twoapenny:
Aw thanks, Lighter, that made me smile! :)
I know, I couldn't believe it when we looked around, I just kept saying "Oh my god, oh my god" because it was just so unexpected; it really couldn't be more perfect for us. The garden's lovely; you walk along a narrow path to get to it as it runs along the back of some other gardens (all very mature with lots of trees and shrubs so there's just green everywhere you look). And then you go through a little arch way, you can't see any of it from the path and you're suddenly in this beautiful space that just keeps on going! There's even an apple tree :) So yes, it's just amazing; my plan is to be as organised as possible before we go so that once we're in we can just say 'aah' and really relax. I'm looking forward to walking every day, getting to know the village a bit and just enjoying NOT BEING HERE!! I think it's going to be a really lovely turning point for us and I will keep you all posted with hopefully good news!
Thank you for all the support x

When you have a chance, please share some details about the inside of the flat. Why is it great?
I'm just so pleased for you.

The layout's very nice and the rooms flow. Where we live at the moment feels 'wrong'; not just the location but the interior of the house doesn't work. It's in the middle of a block so you don't get much light, even on a really sunny day. When you walk in it feels close and claustrophobic. We walked into the flat and there was light streaming in almost every window. Most of the rooms have two windows in them as well so you can make the most of the sun as it moves around. There's a lot of built in storage but also four outside storage areas so lots of space to keep things and it's well designed storage; areas to hang things, shelves for stacking and then floor space as well. The bathroom's bigger than our current one and again the layout is more comfortable; you can't see the loo if the door's open, just the basin and then the bath when you walk in. It has a lovely shower (again our current one is about three streams of water and very cramped). Each window has a green view from it; we just look out over woods or other gardens and no-one can see in :) It's just very well proportioned, simple things like lots of plug sockets spread around the rooms; at the moment we have lots of extension cables running to and fro because the plug sockets are in odd places and all bunched together at one end of the room. It just feels safe; it's hard to explain but I walked in and as soon as I got to the top of the stairs it felt like home. And a cat flap already installed :)
The colours are neutral so a blank canvas really; they've left some blinds up which will be great until I alter the curtains and sort out what I'm doing but you know when you walk in and you can see where your furniture would go? It felt like that. I'm getting excited again just thinking about it, lol :)

I'm doing mental gymnast-flips for you, Tupp.
This is so so so so fabulous--just incredible news.
It sounds LOVELY. And I can't even express how
much joy I bet you'll find in gardening.
What a thrill and joy to imagine you in a fresh,
new, welcoming, lovely space at last.
Dittos...it is so well deserved. I am so glad.
YAY!
love

Aw, thank you so much Hops, Yes, I am doing mental gymnastics myself! Still can't quite believe it - six more sleeps! It's funny, moving house is regarded as being very stressful and there's no doubt it's a lot of work, but I've been so unhappy here for so long now that I can feel the stress lifting as each box is packed :) I really am a very lucky lady, truly blessed. My son is excited about it as well which is lovely, he's been planning where to put his toys and has explained to the cat that she's going on holiday to the cattery for a couple of days whilst we move and then she'll have a new garden to play in. He's also drafted a letter to Santa so that he doesn't deliver the presents to the old address :) It's a really lovely time. How are things with you? x
