Hello Diane:hello:(I could tell you the wavey hand is intended to help cheer you up but unfortunately its because it fascinates me and any excuse will do:o)
Five years ago my wife and i decided to sell up our flat to release equity to pay of a large part of the debts we had/have.
I did nt really mind too much as it was a top floor flat and always felt a bit small and the thinking was we would be able to rent a decent sized house and have more space which indeed has happened.
But...that was our flat where we brought our daughter up for ten years so a part of me misses it and i liked the community feel we had with our neighbours.
Anyhow we had around six weeks before we had to be out and i guess we were both worried we would nt find a place in time but i know my wife was terribly worried at this prospect...we went to look at one house in a not too great area of town and if im honest i just went along with t with no serious intentions of moving in....i did nt account for my wife liking the house itself and rather than upset her i agreed t move in....god did i hate the prospect and i am certainly no snob and had a very working class upbringing.
I felt absolutely miserable there at first and just could nt settle(I wanted my home back!) ...but over time i had a little chat with this neighbour and a chat with that one and slowly i began to settle.
We did move on after a year or so but i still have fond memories of the rented "home" and i hope that once you ve had time to readjust you ll hopefully see things aint that bad.
Any arguments my wife and i have had over the years are down to two things...money(the obvious one) but also our reluctance to discuss our debt issues together......dont let debt/money get in the way of all the positive things you and your husband will share but try to sit down together and decide on a course of action
best wishes0 -
hi there dialysis
just to let you know i am thinking of you!! you will obv know that we have the good days then the bad days, lets hope you have a better day tomorrow!!!
But please concentrate on working with your relationship, at the end of the day, its just bricks and mortar, as long as you have each other thats all that matters
i tell myself that every single day now, i am ready for what life may now throw at me, as long as i am with my children and husband
take care, and i wish you all the best0 -
Diane, just a thought, does your hubby read or post of the boards? Maybe if he didnt, it would be good to get him to have a look. He might take some comfort from the different situations others are experiencing?0

Another jaffa cake-aholic standing up here.
My local market does 3 packs for £1, & I've had to start walking round the back of the stall instead of the front, so that I can't see them, because I can't resist buying them. The last time I was there, I bought 6 packs & managed to get through 2 packs one after the other! Not surprisingly, I was sick enough to pebble-dash walls for miles afterwards, so I won't be doing that again in a hurry - I enjoyed every sweet bite as it went down, it was just the coming back up later that finished me off.
