Thanks everyone
My life is in flux again as I will be moving out and not sure where. I don't know how many times I can keep doing this...
I have until Christmas
I actually dreamt last night this would happen, so I must have subconsciously been picking up on something.
So much more that I can't write here. (My host is still very lovely however.)
Having a home is so core to feeling secure.
It has sent me into panic, I am but going away as planned.
I have put feelers out and we shall see.
Send positive, calming vibes my way please

Hi. I’ve been following your thread. Sorry to hear about the house purchase not happening. Are there any static caravan sites you could rent for a while?

So sorry to hear you're on the move again.
Are there any quirky conversions that take you're eye in the locations you're looking at? They may even come a good amount under your budget, leaving you sufficient cash to get through to SPA.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.3 -
Sorry to hear you are on the move again. Hope you find somewhere soon.

Just had a thought, what about an Airbnb? On a podcast I listen to one of them has been staying in one for for a few weeks while she’s waiting for her new build to be finished after selling her previous house.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪3
