Hi all, well gosh we made it. There were delays on the roads so it took us over 3 hours each way and we had 2 hours at the house - all a bit gruelling but all the stuff is in the flat now and the van is back. I'm so grateful to my 4 friends who travelled up/met us there to help. A few neighbours also popped in to say Hello and wish me well, which was kind.

I didn't feel particularly emotional at the house - I was in steely and business mode, and wasn't entertaining any sympathetic hugs at the front door - I just wanted to be done and off.

I did have a little cry when we got there - less about leaving the MH - more about being tired, the general emotion and thanking my friends. Anyway - it is done - and I hope I don't need to go up again - but there is rather a lot to do so I may need to offer help again, but at least I don't need a van for that.

Thanks all for your kind words of support - I needed them today!! Xx
