Thanks for stopping by Feyth, Ginger and Dawn :)xx
Well, I'm in my new house!! I have to say it was a stressful 4 or 5 days. The house was pretty dirty and I had a push to get it all clean when I moved in...which led to a bit of a packing panic. Then moving day was fine and I had a brilliant and kind removals team. After that, a push to get the rental flat cleaned and the keys back....golly! Yesterday was my first day without a deadline of some kind.
Any ways - I have unpacked all boxes bar one and it is starting to feel nice. Met my neighbours on both sides, who are super nice and had my first visitor for coffee (my Dad.) Today is bed assembly and trying to get the main bedroom organised. I hope to have the house largely sorted by the time I go back to work next week. Tomorrow my new sofa comes and a charity store collects some furniture I don't need.
I have a few social days coming up now - visit from my sister today, volunteering tomorrow, a bring and share food event Saturday (divorce group) and coffee with two friends Sunday. All part days, so plenty of time to get organised around them.
Dawn, glad to give you a laugh with the coffee machine - oh my goodness, I think I blew it up on first use!! Burnt my finger on the hot plate and now can't get it to do anything. I'm going to ask my Dad to have a look for me.
XH's name is now off the joint account and I'll get that closed down when I get chance. That's it - all links severed and I plan to remain out of touch with him now. He didn't end our R in a way that allows for any ongoing friendship, so I wouldn't anticipate us being in touch. On a positive note, I have been asked to become a trainee facilitator for the next divorce group session, so that's a winter project for me!
NG and me still in (less frequent) touch by text. TBH, I've backed off a little after he postponed us having a drink out. I realised I had got a little excited about things and had become the one who was initiating more. But I figure if he wants us to do something, he can get in touch.
Anyway, that's all from me for now and hope my DB friends are all doing well. Xx
