Zephyr, thanks for stopping by and for your kind feedback. I think you are a lovely presence on the forum - kind and constant.

Wow, I'm feeling a little tired and overwhelmed today. I cried and I haven't done that for a while. The marital home sale completes (hopefully) next week and XH had a team go in and clear remaining stuff once we (and HXW!) had taken what we wanted. It is empty now.

I'm feeling quite raw really - it truly is the end of the end. Last threads pulling apart. Just the joint account to be closed down and there are no remaining ties.Weirdly I find that a bit harder even than the D being finalised. It's odd, I don't actually hope for reconciliation and don't feel it would be possible - but there is still the rawness of the closure I guess.

It's been a bit of a stressful week and I feel the beginnings of a sore throat (my classic stress symptom.) Various property hassles and I've been out every night (over-GALing really.) I almost cancelled my evening tonight, but then told a couple of friends I'd meet up with them for an hour. They are having a bigger night out, but in truth I don't need that.

Removals are now booked for the 28th and it looks as though there will be a gap before I get the house and I'll stay with my parents. It may only be for a week, and I'm working on the positives of having keys before I move in. I may paint a room even!

So that's me - in a bit of a raw state and over-committed/rather stressed - but basically okay. NG and me have texted a little this week and that feels like a bright spot. Plus my friend had her cancer op today, so I could be in a worse place and must always remember that.

Take care all and thanks for reading. Xx
