Hi SHS. Are you investigating the chicken thing?2023: the year I get to buy a car0

I am in a bit of a catch 22 there.
I basically don't have time to work/keep the house vaguely safe/work for the exam board/do pony things/run around after the kids other activities now. I was hoping the move might allow me to work fewer hours.
Also we need more land so using some for chickens now would be self defeating...I was hoping the move would help with that too.
So you can see why I am so disappointed we have no traction in the process?
I am going to try to lose weight and declutter. These things I can control. I have 53 pounds to lose before I am under our local riding school's weight limit (they tend not to keep big, weight carrying horses as they are expeeennnssiive).
Am I rambling?
I know God has a plan for us and last time we moved she sent some other folk to buy the house I loved and it was suuccchh a lucky escape.
Not sure what God was teaching the folk who did buy it!?0 -
Yep, there is a plan. Sometimes it takes a lot of hindsight to see the reason 'why' behind things. Sometimes we don't ever see it. But hang in there, girl!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0

Good decluttering done today and lots of moderation also.
Everyone has clean clothes for next week in the right places.

You've had a productive day. Hope Sunday brings relaxation and that dd is on the mend.

The house selling will happen, and it sounds like you are ready to really do it iff you have reduced by 10k. There is a plan...15/5/12 Paid off Mortgage 1 (£220k) Bought Dream House:www: Dec 13 - Mortage 2 -£116,508. 15/7/18 Mortgage Free Again :j
