Looks like I've bought a house today!
I saw this with Tim last week and although smaller than I wanted it's spitting distance (almost literall) from the hospital. And, as I come out with a few pounds at the end I can get some cabinets made and thus have a total new start.
I said 18 months ago that I wanted to turn my life around ... and before 50 ... well, I made it with 10 days to spare! That's not counting the actual move etc! I don't think I ever realised what I meant when I said it - but although I am in a panic at present, basically I feel great. I suppose, as with many things, if I had known what job I would end up with and that I would be down-sizing I would have said NO - but, I feel really energised - the "me" of my mid-40's is back ... and that is amazing to know.
So, Thank You, friends for sticking with me - and for all the encouragement thatI have had over that time

Date: 2011-06-14 04:39 pm (UTC)So now talk about the house. How many rooms and what are you planning on doing with it? Will you be able to walk to work? Is it a row house or a single house? Please, we need details.

Date: 2011-06-14 04:44 pm (UTC)It's a mid terrace - like mine ... 3 stories. Lounge & kitchen, spare room, bathroom & study and a bedroom in the loft area. Parking on the front - 5 minutes walk to work.
Pics will follow - soon, I promise.

[Looking forward to pictures!]
A new start for a new decade. Yay for you.

Date: 2011-06-15 11:34 am (UTC)You've achieved so much over the last eighteen months, Deborah. Well done to you! You really are proof that it is possible to completely change your life, and that being in your mid to late forties doesn't have to mean that your life can't change. I'm proud of you! You truly are an inspiration. *hugs*

Date: 2011-06-15 09:02 pm (UTC)I have never been called an inspiration - and find it hard to agree ... but I am certainly pleased that I was able to "kick myself" into re-focussing my life.
It has been a traumatic 18 months - but freinds have cushioned that path.
*hugs*

Date: 2011-06-15 12:26 pm (UTC)That's fantastic, Deborah! I'm so thrilled for you! :D

And it's a good thing living near work - you can walk by foot, even better. Congrats for the new house.
