I should be moving in 3 weeks!! I have so much to do and worrying aboiut moving down there with nothing, no cooker etc but I'll manage I always do lol
:j:j:j fantastic news! :T:T:T
I know you like where you are because of the quiet and no one behind you, but you are right for practical reasons it would be better to move nearer to work/school/hospital/shops, etc.
Get onto freecycle, freegle, netmums, gumtree, craigslist, and see if you can get a cooker, washer, etc. anything you need. People are always giving stuff away, sometimes barely used. Get what you need ready for the move
So pleased for you hun.
DS is better, as he told me this morning, I don't have to have my medicine I am better now. He still had it. :rotfl:
I worked from home so will still get paid, thank goodness! April is going to be really tough for me.
so glad things are looking up for you, just the job needs to materialise now0 -
Thank you Im going to try the free sites about and facebook etc
I have so much to do now its unreal0 -

I don't envy you the task of packing up and moving again. I remember moving here and I was still packing on the day we were moving out! In the end I threw everything in a black bag so couldn't find anything! :rotfl:0 -
