Thanks so much for all the words of support,much needed at the moment!
Put my house on the market 4 days ago and have had 2 offers, one for the full price and one 5K under - but she is renting and mortgage ready- and could be as quick as 6 weeks
Yikes!
After 16 years dreaming the reality now is surprisingly scary.
I spent much of the day yesterday on the phone to my sister doing all the ifs and ands and guilty feelings of leaving parents & children. (grown adults who have left home as I keep being reminded)
Shes right behind me, told me in no uncertain terms to just do it! Shes already planning her summer holiday and has requested I have somewhere with a pool.
My daughter is travelling in Africa at the mo, and back in December, would have liked to have talked it through with her, but then shes always known Ive wanted to do it.
Not sure she'll be impressed that we may well all end up at a local Church or soup kitchen for Christmas dinner...
Im off to Thailand tomorrow,and who knows how far along things might be when I get back.
please keep telling me your positive stories,and keep the negatives as nice as possible!
