I am finally shifted and settled, I moved one house down (just down the driveway!!), my friend last September had a operation on her foot it never healed and she worked on her feet all day 9 - 10 hours she couldn't cope the work changed her shifts to the WORST hours and in effect pushed her out.
She was seriously struggling and with rates and living it was becoming evident she could lose her home, so I gave notice and we condensed 2 houses into one well 2 1/2 actually A HUGE SHIFT, I sold nearly everything I own in fact I DID SELL everything and just took a bed and 3 sets draws and clothes thats it!!!!
So in a house we have 5 cats a dog 2 fish and 3 adults (50+, 43(in may) and nearly 15!!) phew this easter there is actually 5 adults and all the animals (one son came home for the weekend and his girlfriend) so my friend has gone from no one to a FULL HOUSE!!!
I am saving already no rent and we are sharing phone power and food costs, for the first time in 9 years I can actually relax a little.
I know of 4 other families condensing and amalgamating this month alone things and times are geting tough, finances are always tight for families and at the very least a juggling act.
Alot of my friends have said why sell? things I certainly have no attachment to material things NEVER have and since I CAN"T be in my family home NOTHING absolutely NOTHING means anything to me anymore.....
The move was easy peasy weather wise I had 2 huge garage sales, and sold 2 things privately and 1 item through (trademe like ebay)........ I will at some stage get some clothes I need a few things not much.
I do however have some things in storage Samuel's baby things and precious memories of my Dad.
I have had a relaxing day yesterday watching movies nodding off, and chilling FIRST TIME in months, I am relaxing again today I ALSO took 10 DAYS OFF WORK (I know shocking eh!!!!) first time in 6 years I TOOK time off although I cleaned packed moved and hucked out cupboards etc, (when my family that I work for are away I take holidays when they take holidays), so all in all I feel great, I will be back online seriously from next Saturday probably!
Once I get the laptop sorted IT'S ready to go I just have to pick it up from IT guy!!!
I hope everyone is eating drinking and relaxing....
Ciao
