.......on the bungalow! Gulp! Moving date 8th July if all goes well. I am just doing the maths on it all - more gulp!

Brilliant news. We lived in a bungalow for a while and loved it - only moved because we could not settle where it was!

Wow lucky, that was quick. Be happy in your new home.

The people selling the bungalow must be turning cartwheels of joy having found buyers that have moved things along so quickly and good that you can get on with a few jobs before the big move.

Best of Luck.

So kind of you all to send good wishes. It is an exciting time, but quite stressful. I am dreaming of being able to make my OH a cup of tea and take it to him in bed without having to put the tea on one step, pull myself up a few steps, move the tea up another few steps......etc! Just pop into the kitchen and back to the bedroom.

Luckygirl It sounds ideal for you & your hubby enjoy the bungalow and the difference it will make to your daily life,we are still waiting for a suitable bungalow in our area but they are very few and far between but one will become available soon just a matter of time.

Thanks glamma for your good wishes. Bungalows are few and far between here too, especially ones on fairly level ground. We saw some pretty poky dark ones online when we were searching. We are very lucky indeed to have found one that suits us and I wish you lots of luck in your search.

Anyone want a Broadwood piano? - we don't have room for it! I also have an excellent Yamaha piano, so we will not be deprived of music! - but the big one has to go.

You've certainly lived up to your name now Luckygirl smile
It is exhausting packing up and trying to get rid of stuff, and then find the kettle!
I'm still in limbo, today or Monday we should be exchanging, and my flat is tantalisingly empty and the keys are burning a hole in my pocket.

I hope your move goes smoothly for you, and you don't wear yourself out! flowers

Congratulations on your move....we are in the process of moving...downsizing...what to take?...the kids..my baby is thirty...paintings from playgroup..that China loved but never used etc etc .. colour coding boxes a brilliant idea..any more suggestions welcome. Anyone live in Stafford??

Oh Lona - I do identify with you. I felt in limbo till yesterday when I heaved a big sigh - and insured the new property pdq!

I also understand the dilemmas about what to take bella....we have got a bit ruthless during this process. The criterion is: will our children know what the hell to do with this item when they are clearing our place out when we pop our clogs?

bella Give the playgroup paintings to the thirty year old baby and feel those strings loosen girl !

Just got the keys!!!!

It is very frustrating that the removal firm cannot get to us till July 6th!
