Welcome from me too Wik!
Uuuh, oooh! I have today after mowing that foot tall grass moved my furniture around and some book boxes and am shattered. Ex just dropped DD off and put her to bed. I told I want her to bed 8 pm LATEST :mad:. DD is crying from exhaustion and because her dad is leaving. I shall go and hit the sherry....
Tomorrow need to finish sorting up this chaos that I created and bake some goodies as I will have some visitors :j"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Hi SophiesMum - great to hear about your impending move to the country. Just wondered - tried to find in some of your threads - how did you find the place you will be moving to? Did you use an agent or was it in the paper or...? We would like to do the same kind of thing - dont know whether to sell up first or to rent ours out and then rent again. Good luck with your move though.0
