This morning Stew and I have an appointment with our solicitor, to sign the papers to go UNCONDITIONAL with our new home purchase.
All going well, it will be finalised today, if not, definitely tomorrow.
I can't wait for it to be all over, well the legal shit anyway. Then I can relax and just wait it out till we move.
We talked to Steve last night about the little improvements we want to make to the new-to-us house. Mostly putting up shelving, adjusting cupboards, and the biggest thing.... stripping out the existing bathroom and putting in a new one.
Nothing too flash, but we certainly want to get rid of the 80's décor in there. I reckon the bath is original, so over 30 years old! Ikkk.
It is quite exciting, knowing that there will be plenty to keep me (and the guys) occupied for a while. We won't be doing as much as we did to this home, because it simply isn't going to be necessary. But there is 'a bit' to do.
ABOVE: I forgot to post this. The blue line shows where we went yesterday .... quite a nice 'round trip'.
ABOVE: Marley enjoying a tummy rub yesterday afternoon. She's such a cutie. It's so neat we still have her in the family, and get to see her all the time.Right, before I have to go into town, I shall do some housework, then potter around in the sewing room.
Signed.
One more thing to do...
and it's DONE.
I had a bit of a 'wobble', not 100% sure if it was the right house for us, but it is. It means massive changes in how we live, but I just have to go with it.
The positives outweigh the negatives.
Once we move, I can start to get my life sorted out again. These past 6 months have been hard in many ways.Not least me putting on about 8 kilos! I stress eat. I hate that I do that.
I am feeling really horrible about myself at the moment.
I am on the verge of crying all the time.
So much is NOT RIGHT in my head.
But... I will come right eventually.
JUST. HAVE. TO. HANG. IN. THERE.
edited, added to.
Just had lunch.About to go into the sewing room and work on the smaller runners.
Might even finish off those donuts from yesterday.
Maybe they will be my LAST INDULGENCE?
I have spent the remainder of the day pottering around the house, putting a few more things in the garage. A few things in a pile to take over to Steve and Bex's.
Then I started doing one of my new jigsaw puzzles.
It's going to be a tricky one!
And now it's time to sign off for the day.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Your road trip and photos looked like a great day. Hope all has gone well today with the paperwork fingers crossed 🤞
ReplyDeleteWell I cant see the extra 8kgs on any photos. !!I think you are looking great. Just go back a couple of years in photos to see how far you've come. From one emotional stress eater to another....... KarenAK
ReplyDeleteCan you get some stuff done before you move in? ie, bathroom, oven etc? That would be great if you could.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo congratulations. I can only imagine how stressful this whole process has been/is for you. Very very big changes. It will take time. OMG 80s decor. I had in my mind the property you were buying was ‘newish’. Is the kitchen original too or has it been updated? I’m thinking it would have been.
ReplyDeleteChris I so get it about the stress eating. Today I ate 3 candy bars while I watched a work out video! And yes, I feel pretty shitty about that and myself! I started the whole damn pattern all over again of being upset, running for the junk food and candy, stuffing my face and frantically looking for a decent hiding place for the wrappers. I mean, really?? A woman my age, acting this way? I wish I was moving into a new place so I could plan a sort of "Do over, start again," kind of thing. I love it that you have tackled this whole selling, packing, down-sizing, moving thing in typical Chris fashion. You are always so on top of things and soooo organized!! One of these days you should hire yourself out as an on-line, motivational coach to make extra money. You would be great at this!! You are so inspiring for boobs like me!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there!! Exciting days are on their way. I
ReplyDeleteOf course you had wobbles. It's a major life decision.
Once you start the move I'm sure that weight will start coming off all by itself. You'll be busy and you'll be happy. And swimming in that heated pool.
Keep calm and enjoy the love of your closest family
That’s gr8 news re becoming unconditional
ReplyDeleteAnother box ticked ✅
It’s nearly halfway through March already so won’t be long and the final Paymets and moving dates will be here,
Stoked to hear Steve’s on Board
re the Bathroom Reno’s etc the upgrade will be good and you can stamp you guys personality on your new 🏠 Home
It’s a different stage of Life now ( over 50s lol ) so I know you’ll both love it and to have a pool to use all year round it’s Awesome ,
So Happy for you all
Cheers 🥂
So pleased to hear that news and you will make the new house your own and the oven you want again the job the bathroom all new again nice.
ReplyDeleteWell, It's about time you had a "wobble". This is a huge change. It's NORMAL to have a "wobble". It's just becoming REAL now. It will work out. You have done the research. You are making a change. But, it is completely normal to have a moment of doubt. So. Stew is NOT wearing the new suitcoat. I thought maybe it was for this occasion. I was going to say... "Don't Worry". HAHA. I just got done explaining that it is normal to "worry". Anyhow, at least it's done. That much is certain. Now you can plan accordingly. It will be a fun new adventure!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finalizing the purchase. All the best for the move.
