Jksd, thanks for stopping by - and yes I think the emotional aspect does add to the stress - compared to a 'normal' move - but we shall both get through it I'm sure.

Feyth, thanks for the vote of confidence - you are kind (and brave I think from reading your sitch!)

Well, we exchanged contracts on the MH today and the sale completes on Friday. Cleaners are going in tomorrow and there will be a check by our trusted house/pet visitor late tomorrow. I've booked Thursday off in case of any last minute problems, but I don't expect to have to travel up there.

The new tenant for the flat pulled out and so I'm able to stay until the house purchase completes - really pleased about that...so it looks like I'll be buying and moving in early August now. I'm still a little under the weather with a sore throat that hasn't really developed - but it is my warning sign to rest and I'm grateful to it for telling me.

NG and me continue to be in touch a little - nothing major. We were at an event together this week and chatted about various things - it was nice. One thing I like about him is he is 3 years out from S and hasn't jumped into a new R yet....and he's an attractive, personable & intelligent guy. I like that. I don't think I would really consider someone who 'jumped ship' or jumped straight into a new R etc. I feel they would be in a different place emotionally to me now - as XH is I suppose.

Anyway - moving closer to being settled and sorted...will keep you posted my friends xx
