Read it all carefully, you can do it on your own its hard but once you’ve made that decision others will become easier. I just thought about how the next stage was for me and my happiness, also I knew it was the right thing to do to be able to move forward.

Good for you Punto and glad you’re feeling more positive about the future.
I apologise if my posts are a bit negative, but I’m not at the stage yet where I can accept what has happened to me/us. It’s 22 weeks today since the love of my life was taken from me and I’m very scared without him, as well as missing him so much.
I thought we’d grow old together. I hope i can, in time, look ahead but not right now.

Thank you, your right I knew from the start I couldn’t stay there and said so. It’s been difficult as our son doesn’t want the house to go and has thought of every way he can to keep it. Now there’s been an almighty row between son and daughter and they are not speaking. Just another complication.
I’ve just spoken to the agent and put off the listing for a week until son is back from holiday. He needs the break, it’s all been a lot for him to deal with. Agent is doing viewings but only with people he knows are interested.
I’m moving forward but slowly. Thanks again x

I’m the same, it’s only 2 months today since I lost the love of my life. We were going to move to the country together, we had a future planned, trips away and being together. Now I’m scared too, I’m sitting here, all alone, wondering what in earth happened!!! It’s so hard without my love. I’m still not eating properly or sleeping properly. Do you have support from friends at all, I have a few good friends who have been lovely. It doesn’t stop the loneliness or sadness but it’s just nice to have someone around at times. Thinking of you, sending love x

My son and daughter dont speak to each other, I cant have all 3 of my kids in the same room.
They know I’m very strong minded and will do what is best for me. But they understood why I needed to move away and pick my own home that felt right.
I even picked a bonkers splash back gor my hob they laughed but it makes me smile.
Its hard but you will get through it, tell your son why you want to move explain how difficult it is staying in the house.
I really like your slashback

I wanted something that made me smile, Rob will be laughing his head off at it.
I wanted my new kitchen to be all the things that I wanted to make me happy.
Ive ordered a pink glass windowsill to fit in a few weeks once it comes.

That would make me smile too, what a great idea.
I think it’s really nice , really fun , your kitchen going to be your happy place.
I had it made by a splashback company, I gave them the size and image I wanted and 3 weeks later it was delivered.
It’s miserable me again.
Someone has offered more on the little house I liked and they have accepted. Houses here are selling for far more than advertised. I have no idea what I should be offering. I’m sat in the garden sobbing. My first viewing tomorrow here and the badgers have dug up every blooming lawn and the washing machine won’t spin.
I can’t do this on my own, I so need my clever practical husband.
Oh well, sorry for rant just needed to vent. Better get my wellies on x

Hi Helen I’m sorry you’ve lost the house but let’s hope something else comes up that you like more and then there won’t be the need to change for another. It’s always nice to have a shoulder to cry on and when we face a challenge everything seems to get blown out of proportion. I’m sure you’ll get back on your feet.
Wishing you lots of luck with your house
Tom
Hi Helen, so sorry you’re facing difficult challenges today. Everything seems to escalate out of proportion when you’re on your own. My toilet was leaking and I cried so much, it’s hard when we’re on our own, I know. I know you will get out there and sort it all out though, you have come so far. Good luck with everything. Lots of love.

Thanks Tom x
Thank you LJ
I’m trying. Badgers are getting the better of me today but I’m sat here listening to baby blue tits in the box behind me. Have to keep stopping, my back doesn’t like bending today.
I’m on a go slow today, house is quiet, I’m unable to work at the moment as my anxiety is high. I have two lovely pussycats, so am sitting here with them, it helps me a bit. I need to get in the garden really, haven’t been able to yet, it’s only been 2 months since my wonderful partner died. I do hope you manage to get your lawn sorted, am thinking of you. Big hugs to you, you are amazing, be kind to yourself, always. I have to keep telling myself this.

Hi @Punto
You are such an inspiration. I know it can’t be easy as it isn’t for others either. You have decided how best to do this for you, which is all anyone can do. I saw kinky boots the musical in London a few years ago. Take care and I hope you meet new friends in the months ahead x

Sorry to hear about the house, selling and buying a house is frustrating. I hope you find a house you like even better. Hope your day gets a bit better for you . Good luck with the lawn

I’m having a coffee and biscuit in the hope it will give me a bit more energy.
Getting in the garden helps, I’m better outside than in. We bought the house for the gardens and I’ll miss them terribly. One of my jobs today is to dig out a couple of plants before viewings start. I’m taking those and my beautiful greenhouse Stephen built.
Have a good day, the last dry one here for a while so I had better get a move on x
