So what started out as a vain attempt to prove to the world that I was moving on from him, despite what I felt on the inside. Looking at houses made me feel like less of a failure, I got to pretend to the world that I was in a good place moving on.
I toyed with buying… I decided I was more sensible to rent. And then I found a three bed terrace, with conservatory, lounge, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, potential for a working fire place…. well within my budget, almost too good to be true! I put in an offer, it was accepted and then I started down this path.
I expected something to go wrong, I expected to be gazumped. I didn’t expect but secretly hoped he would come running back now I had proved I would move on without him – he didn’t.
I haven’t told many people, in fact I have shared the most with you guys. But none of my worse fears or best case scenarios came true and I have just had an email from my solicitors “They have released the keys!!”
I’ve just bought a house, properly not like offer accepted bought, like move in your furniture and go great you neighbours (I really hope they like me) bought!
How the chuffing hell did that happen?
Well, onto the next chapter as they say!!
Congratulations!!! 🙂 A place of your very own is a scary but fantastic way to make positive changes.
One day it is going to be so, so lovely!!
WooooHooooo, now it’s time to MOVE ON, enjoy your new home and leave HIM well behind 🙂 So pleased for you, some photo’s would be nice, it sounds lovely xxoxxxx
Mollie and Alfie
I agree! photos please 🙂
I will post pictures x
Congratulations! I bought my townhome in 2008 and adore having my very own nest. There’s a great feeling of grown up independence to it.
It’s thrilling and scary at the same time!
I am dead envious, it sounds fantastic. I’ve never been a home owner, I can only dream of a conservatory and a real fire.
good luck xx
Thank you. I was in less than 4 hours and I have already pulled up all the carpets – by myself! I was having an “i don’t need a man” moment!
Congratulations! It sounds lovely.
Thank you, it will be once I have done all the jobs!
Congrats! Maybe this big change will help you to move on. New beginnings are always exciting. 🙂
