I'm so much more relaxed and stress-free here, despite the fact everything's still upside down and we have lots of work to do yet before it starts to feel like "home" ... and I did get rather a shock when I first saw the state of the place :eek: ... but I definitely think we made the right decision moving here

I have already met the neighbours on both sides and they are lovely people, and I have even managed to take a walk round the corner to the local Co-op :j ... ok, so it was late in the evening under the cover of darkness :rotfl: ... BUT! ... I managed to bag some great reduced bargains that I have been so envious of reading about on here for months now

C-Q that's fantastic - especially being able to go out and meet people :T Keep it up cos you sound happier than you've sounded in ages!!!!

Thanks hun! :A

I am actually happier than I have been in a long time and even though I'm still under a lot of stress with certain things, I'm dealing with it much better than I could ever have hoped! ... just hope I'm not in line for a major crash once things settle down a bit

The last few weeks have been such a whirlwind that I haven't had much time to think about anything and have just had to get on and do it. It's not all been plain sailing though as the hospital decided to send my son home on extended home leave over the last couple of weeks just when I was up to my eyes in packing and moving, so I've had to devote a lot of time to him which has messed up all my plans of getting certain things done before we actually moved in :mad:

I think now that I've got the house and have a room for him to come home to they see it as a green light to go ahead and discharge him (which is imminent now) and haven't stopped to give a second's thought as to how I'm coping with all this sudden change

As I said, the neighbours are lovely and given time there is the potential to make some good friends there, and they've both invited me round for coffee etc, but I'm terrified at taking that step as I haven't socialised with anyone (offline) for almost 2 years now and have almost forgotten what it's like

I'm sure everything will work itself out in the end but I'm struggling to know how to deal with it all as I do want to make friends with these people but also terrified that they'll think I'm a bit weird for hiding away and keeping myself to myself whilst I learn how to cope with it all
