Hi Lou, glad to see an update from you and it sounds as though life is moving along. I'm sorry about the mortgage disappointment - ugh. I understand how you must feel looking back at your higher standard of living, and how much your H's decisions have impacted on that.

You are one of the best I know at picking up and moving forward and I am sure you will do this again. I hope you can come up with a plan to get a cosy place in an area you like - even if that's in the slightly longer term. My house is small - two bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen - and I've decided I like it that way - less to clean - less stuff - it's all that I need really.

Your beach evening sounds lovely (on a cold January evening here) and I hope you have some more nice plans going forward.

Take care Lou xx
