This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

Watty1

So we have spent the weekend thinking and discussing and arguing and laughing.
There are three reasons for not going to Cornwall:

• I know a lot of people here and potentially could have a nice life if only I didn't have to work so hard and so much.
• An elderly pony who we love dearly and are not sure about moving
• Mr Watty's parents. Dad as you know is beyond stressful and his mother is in her 70s and .......

However the pony might love Cornwall, I would meet new people and I don't really want to put our entire lives on hold until we are in our 70s for Mr Watty's parents who could live another 25 years.

So we have decided to investigate further. Will be going to see the house, and, even if this house is not 'the one' we are going to continue decluttering stuff so that we could go if we found somewhere.


Thank you all for your encouragements

Assuming the pony would be moving with Most Handsome, I would think he'd adjust ok.

Good plan re: decluttering, we're in that stage ourselves and while I find it a bit stressful how much stuff we're not decluttering and will have to pack/move, it is so nice to realise how much excess we can shed.

Spoken to the estate agent. And it is all very possible. Mr Watty has spoken to his boss who actually asked if there was anything he could do to change the shift system to make life easier. That was a surprise. Mr Watty however feels that a downshift would be a better option !!!
Just need to sort out when we can get there now to view property.

Very exciting! Good luck with the viewing.

Enjoy the dreaming, plotting and planning. A trip to Cornwall sounds lovely.

Sounds like a great opportunity! Go for it! (and we can all live vicariously through you )

What an exciting change of direction! Ponies will probably love the sea air and the time you would get to fuss over them more.

Not sure when can get to see the property but more research done. Feeling very positive. Cleared out a kitchen cupboard and will start listing stuff on ebay this evening and tomorrow. Despite last years declutter I keep looking round and seeing stuff that I wouldn't take to Cornwall!

Yippee enjoy your ebaying! I love the sound the app makes when something sells - keeerrching!

It's become real to you! Thats the feeling of "would I pay to transport this?" If not, out it goes In clearing my mum's house, we've been making lots of those decisions, about stuff of a fair size like bedframes, and tiny things, like an Observer book of English churches!
