    thats good news Lou, do they expect the feeling in his left side to return over time or will it always be like that? Main thing is he is ok, healthy and returning to his old self

    They are expecting a full recovery over time, its just, he looks like he has had a stroke Sall, I could cry every time I see him.

    I know it could have been so much worse and we have to be patient but I still cant help feeling:(
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I can understand you feeling sad when you see him, its a natural reaction. I know totally blown out of proportion but I used to cry every morning when Bea first got her glasses when she was 14 months old. Silly but I guess its something you have no control over and would change if you can. Have you thought about having a chat with him ask him how he's feeling about it? You might find he is not bothered one bit and happy to be how he is considering..might help you to feel ok about it. And lets hope that over the next couple of months it will improve

  • Anyone want to explain mortgages to me :rolleyes: I know the basics but confused when it comes to selling/moving. If you buy a house for say £90k and you live there for 20 years paying off £50k of the capital. When you want to then move and buy a house for either less ie £80k or more £110k what happens? Do you get a new mortgage and run two side by side? Do you sell your house for £95k and get £55k back and then pay £40k to the orginal mortgae company? Or does your old mortgage move onto the new one and your lender increases/decreases the loan amount?

    Sorry for seemingly 'easy' questions but I was just sat here wondering. Alas Googling ddnt help much and I didnt fancy posting on a different board. Dont worry I am never going to own a house, just wondered ;)

    It usually works as above Pap, or it has for us anyway.

    They're lovely Sal.

    I dont actually own any pyjamas. If I get cold, or go to a hotel, I wear one of DH's tshirts and some tracky bottoms :o

    The La Senza site doesnt seem to be working at the moment, possibly a good thing because I might've ordered more :cool:

    So if you have £55k in cash in the bank do you then only need a mortage for the missing £25k? What would you do pay the vendor of your new house the £55k and then the mortgage company will pay the rest :confused: Or do you give the money to the solicitor to sort?
