    Well done to FF for being debt-free at last, what a lovely Christmas present!

    And well done Hypno - house move ever closer, "original" debt under 5K, skip on its way ready to chuck all the baggage in......(and I mean emotional as well as the clutter kind)....this Christmas is going to be special in many ways.

    I guess it's just an end of an era. So much is changing for you and some massive milestones being reached all within a relatively short space of time. It wouldn't be normal *not* to feel unsettled.

    I am total awe at how you have dealt with everything that has come your way over the years. Good luck!

    :D I *might* let someone give me a hair cut :D But I'll have you know I'm not that bad at it myself :D (my hair's pretty long, so it's just a case of trimming the ends, I'm not as much of a sight as I made myself out to be! :rotfl:) :D

    I can vouch for that - Cheery's hair is lovely :)

    I checked out the wine storage availability too :rotfl:

    What about chocolate storage space - is that ok ;)

    The sig is fab H, well done on being sub 5k :):):)

    The next few weeks will be very emotional, but hopefully you will be able to leave the bad memories behind and pack up the good ones to take with you.

    I agree with Gallygirl, and I saw you before we looked like drowned rats (Ssh I wont mention the leaning on the lampost in pier street :))


    Maty - your post caused me to bawl! i had forgotten about locking my Mums door for the last time. I too was alone. We moved there when I was 3, locked the door 2 months after my 44th birthday. The way you describe waking up and realising the memories still there is so poignant. Thank you for putting into words, so eloquently, what i was trying to say

    Sorry, didn't mean to make anyone cry but I was as I typed it. 25 years on I still can't think about it without crying :( I have never felt like that about another home until now, I love where I live :D
