Haven't posted again for ages but all is going well with the house, missives were concluded last week, will sign all the paperwork this week and get the keys the week after so it's all go. Haven't actually booked a moving van so better do that soon. We have been doing a big clear out of stuff, no point in paying to move stuff we don't use.
We also finally got to the top of council waiting list for an allotment so got that a few weeks ago. OH is really enjoying it, he goes there pretty much everyday and it has made a huge difference in his mental health. It was very overgrown so he has just been clearing a bed at a time to plant stuff and fingers crossed something grows.
Slightly nervous at making the move over to the MFW board (no idea why
) but will do fairly soon.
