    It is warm and there is nothing in the diary until later today when we have sports club.  I can't see many turning up but as we run it we will still need to go.  At least the hall will be cool and we can open doors if not.  

    Until then we can do not a lot.  Cant believe the holidays are whizzing by so quickly and feel like we haven't done a lot so far.  Mum sent us a small amount of money for a holiday treat but not sure what to do / where to go as yet.  We also have plenty of money in the holiday pot but not needed it really so far.  I imagine it will just sit there until next year or if we need extra money moving.

    We managed to sell our old wooden kitchen table today that was in the garage and someone is collecting the chairs through olio.  That will be another gap in there so that we can get organising it a little better.  I know there is a bike in there that DD2 had but has not used in years.  It will be far too small by now and can go, also DS old bike that was broken (various people tried and failed to mend it).  We have the dentist on Monday so might book a tip trip as well and take them in.  They have a big section for old bikes.  They then get given to the local charity who do them up.  We need to organise and sort what is in there because we will be moving and when we do we can store things in there until it is time.

    I totally agree @dawnybabes working out what's on the menu every night is so stressful and boring too!
    I love the conviction @slm6002 ' because we will be moving and when we do'  that's the way to manifest that house move 😁👏🏻
    I am hoping the new EA are fantastic and well worth their commission! Perhaps you had to wait this long for the perfect buyer and the perfect home for you to come up ❤️☺️

    We tried to move before XH left and had 2 agents and barely any viewings (3 in 18 months), and then this is our 2nd agent after 4 months of nothing.  We are currently off the market as of this morning, but back on again hopefully by the end of the day or tomorrow morning.  Things must pick up for us soon surely.  It is a great house and just need people through the door.  It is reassuring that some of the ones that went on at the same time are still on now, so it isnt just us, but then there are also others long gone.  Our turn next please.

    We think the young couple who moved in next door have split up and they are moving things out.  Hoping they don't both move our but it isn't looking hopeful.  It might look odd if 2 houses next to each other plus they are both very polite young people.
