I decided to edit my loooooooooooooong post of this morning by deleting it all and starting again. It was a depressive post written after a depressive week in which I cried multiple times (4 times yesterday alone - and I mean whole body wracking sobs not tiny sniffles). But T managed to persuade me to have the day off work as I have felt rubbish all week long and been unable to drag myself out of bed and function to any sort of normalcy and as he is unable to return to work until he's been symptom free from the sickness bug he had for 48 hours we decided to have a "stay in bed then go and visit the new house day".
Needless to say, despite feeling incredibly sick at the moment I am feeling like I have jumped into another life. The house is a million miles away from where we live now - and I'm not talking about the extra space (though that is wonderful of course!). It is in a village, right opposite a church whereas we currently live in a block of flats on a busy road, next to the football ground, down the road from the railway line and the airport... let's just say the absolute quiet in our new detached house in the village was almost deafening!
There is more as well - we are not renewing our cable tv subscription as we want to do things other than wile away the hours in front of the tv. We will still watch select programmes like QI (it's just starting now so I better finish this post soon) and we'll be getting broadband so I can keep up to date with you guys, but as we have turned one of the bedrooms into a meditation room and we have space to exercise and keep my crafting bits and bobs safe and tidy we are looking forward to changing our routines to do the things we just couldn't do here.
I promise to tell you all about the new house and even include pictures but for now I must finish my porridge (the only thing I fancy to eat right now), watching QI and then get an early night before we do the big move tomorrow. I will be offline (apart from checking emails at work whilst waiting for my bus to go home at night) so I will get behind a bit - but I will be back soon.
I've also been tagged by Claire (sorry will add a link later - I am truly hating to miss QI lol) and promise to be back to post on that because the whole exercise brought many smiles to mine and T's faces but the post will take some time to write properly.
So take care of yourselves and I look forward to catching up soon
Love
Amanda xx

Good Luck with the move. Hope it goes smoothly and you're not hampered by all the snow.
Amanda,
I know how tough it is to avoid those loooooooooooooooooong posts. I'm famous for my long posts. It's hard to be concise!
I'm sorry you have been feeling depressed! Goodness knows I can relate to what you described and I'm so sorry.
That's great that you took a well-needed day off! It sounds like T is very helpful at getting you to slow down when needed. That's huge.
You will get used to the quiet at your new house and love it! :)
That's great that you are skipping cable TV. We got rid of our dish service about 7 years ago when my husband was laid off due to cost. I thought I'd really miss it but I don't! When we want a movie, we borrow a DVD from the public library down the street. We didn't need all of those channels!
If you've been blogging on dial-up, you will be in heaven when you get your broadband. :)
I LOVE THE IDEA TO HAVE A MEDITATION ROOM!!! THAT'S GREAT!
:)
I can tell you are going to make the most of your new space.
Good for you!!

Good luck in your new home it sounds just perfect. Hope you soon feel on top of the world and put all that lovely sounding space to use.

Amanda! I'm so excited for your new adventure with the new house. Enjoy the change :) I also wanted to tell you I tagged you on my blog, but it sounds like someone else already did as well.
Hope you're well!

Don't you just hate moveing, I do! I think the thing I hate the most is it feels like you just put all that stuff in that box and now you're taking it all out again. OH and the cleaning. I'm not sure about you but I like to leave the old place as clean as possible for the new tennants so I clean all the shelves in the pantry and the cupboards and the bathroom on and on it goes. Then when you get to the new place I clean the same thing before I fill the shelves. I'm exhausted just writing all this lol. Hope everything went well and you are all settled in.
hope your doing ok moving is a terrible wrench. Captain Rupert sends his warmest house warming nose rubs and hopes you settle in quickly and can share some pictures with us.
Amanda,
Hope you are doing well!

Good luck with your moving and getting better! I'm thrilled to hear that you're not getting cable at your new place...not having tv service has been one the BEST things to happen to us here in our little slice of heaven.
I look forward to hearing how things work out and seeing the new place!
