Well I have sripped my bed so I think it will be a long hot bath, into my new pj's then in bed watching Miss Potter. I got Stardust for christmas (I have watched it before) but sadly my lappy doesnt have a dvd drive :rolleyes: I am not sitting at the pc watching it tonight plus my tv is too small to watch it from so I will keep that for a few more weeks :T Mum is working late so I may be asleep before she arrives home. Then its up tomnorrow morning ready to jump on the park and ride at 9am :j

My OH has just suggested we consider moving house - nearer friends would also mean changing jobs. I've just cried and cried for over an hour. It isn't a plan for now, about 12-24 months time. As I cried infront of him he knows how I feel. I have at least six months to get used to the idea of moving, then to commit to exploring it properly. I feel a bit silly for being so upset, but I had thought we would live in our house for the rest of our lives. Neither of us wants to upset the other, but a cheaper location would mean a cheaper mortage so we could pay it off sooner. I just feel settled here.

Ho hum. Time to drink tea then do my [STRIKE]stupid [/STRIKE] interesting and enjoyable university report :rolleyes: How long can it take me to write 10k word anyway?

Hi kat, a house doesn't make a home, the people in it do.

You might find a house that you absolutely fall in love with!

What's upsetting you the most about leaving your current house?

Thanks Linda, thanks very much to you and everyone for "listening" to me. I appreciate you picking up on my mini "waaaa".

* I like my garden - it attracts birds so I worry what if there aren't any/as many? It has big trees and feels peaceful, not boxed in, despite being on an estate.
* I like the neighbourson one side - we give their two children christmas presents etc and I was looking forward to being part of their lives as they grew up (we don't have children of our own).
* We got married in this town so I can go to church where we got married. I would feel sad to leave the church behind.
* on our estate I have just started to go to the local church. The vicar is lovely and the congregation are really welcoming.
*our estate is very convenient - a library and post office a few mins walk from the house, two supermarkets in a 10 min walk. Bus route is very good too.
*I can cycle to town in the summer
* we have a fantastic mechanic/garage, I have a fantastic beautician, we've just found a trustworthly gas safe boiler engineer. All these people are very hard to replace.

To answer your real question tho... I just never thought we would leave here. I didn't move as a child, ever. My first move was to uni (where we met). We did move around afterwards, finding work and responding to his desire to live in SE England. Once we'd started to settle in here I started to imagine living here always. I want the sense of community I got from growing up where I knew lots of people, bumped into people I knew out shopping etc.

I told my OH I could not face moving regularly (His family moved every few years) and that I'll give it serious thought. I want him to be happy and his friends don't live here. We moved to this town as he knew people here, and we only bought our current house as we could afford it. I'm hoping I will learn to be as happy in the new town. It is about 45mins drive away.

Just a thought... If I can deliver chickens on Xmas Eve/Boxing Day/New Years Eve/ New Years Day etc, why cant the Council pick up my bins?
