Everything happens in order is how I see it. A new job is a new opportunity. Just because the actual move of your plan cant be now, doesnt mean you cant get all your ducks in a row ready.<br /><br />Hope you are well.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-37783986926509734972017-03-16T20:26:13.919+00:002017-03-16T20:26:13.919+00:00I think you're doing brilliantly and I admire ...I think you're doing brilliantly and I admire your positivity. It will be/is an exciting new adventure in your life. We were intending to move ourselves until himself landed a new job last year. Great for him, but our plans are on hold for the time being. Maybe in another twelve months or so.

I want to do it all now<br /><br />Hey Elaine, I know its going to be hard but it will be worth it. :)<br /><br />Hey Sue, some of the bits we have sold have been very large. I am hoping to sell some clothes on ebay. I havent a clue how that will go. But some car booting might be in our future :)Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-46241230700212640852017-03-14T12:56:16.679+00:002017-03-14T12:56:16.679+00:00We were going to do our 'thing' on retirem...We were going to do our 'thing' on retirement but after a conversation in my little shop, on a wet miserable day with no customers venturing out, we decided there and then to go for it, and while the feeling was strong that night we worded and posted off our advert to the Farmers Guardian asking for a house and land to rent. We expected minimal response at first but we got a phone call a few days later from the lovely farmer who was to be our new landlord ... the rest is history ;-)<br /><br />Brilliant news on selling all the bits and bobs, I'm waiting for car boot season to roll around then I'm stripping the house of all unnecessaries.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-27958406254474529432017-03-14T12:34:49.275+00:002017-03-14T12:34:49.275+00:00Not boring at all, it is exciting and I am very ha...Not boring at all, it is exciting and I am very happy for the two of you for having the courage to go for it. I know you won't be disappointed, you have exactly the right attitude to make it a success. It's brilliant about your sales, and for doing all your DIY jobs. Very satisfying when you work out how much you have saved and kept in the kitty. <br />Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-69521214522492700592017-03-14T08:21:17.153+00:002017-03-14T08:21:17.153+00:00I drive Dan bonkers singing that song, I think may...I drive Dan bonkers singing that song, I think maybe it's because I sing it in my "posh lady" voice.<br /><br />I love that you've decided to do it now!

Or should I say, where we live. I dont think we will be able to buy a huge amount of acreage. I dont really want to raise live stock or anything like that. Posh Boy would like some chickens for eggs. I still eat eggs so that would be beneficial. as we dont eat meat, I see no reason for use to try and farm on a small scale. We may have to if we get land and we have to pay for it. Then I will get pigs as they will also clear the land. I come from a farming family, I therefore know I have no illusions of what I can and cant do. I want an easy life near the sea where I can grow most of our veg.<br /><br />Good for you. I hope we can follow in your footsteps and follow you down there. Cheers!!! <br /><br />Heres to a better life!<br /><br />Hi ya Linda! I have been out today. Pottering. Ive put some peonies in today. In some pots for colour by the front door incase we dont sell as quickly as I want. I love the idea of the Universe willing us on. <br /><br />I try and be positive most of the time. If I have a moan then I also have a solution most of the time. Like the decorator, didnt work out, we will do it ourselves and save the money. Use it in Cornwall. all the savings we have made could make or break if we find our dream home and it is a little more money than we budgeted for. I dont know what our dream home is. It has a double garage and a big garden. We have proved we can change the insides of a house, it is just the location and the size of plot I cant ever change. We have to be realistic of what we can get. I dont want to disappoint ourselves.<br /><br />Hope you are well.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-38024125672354493422017-03-13T15:22:46.696+00:002017-03-13T15:22:46.696+00:00WHOOPEE, why not take time out on a sun shiney day...WHOOPEE, why not take time out on a sun shiney day to look at your economics when they are in as good a shape as yours. Way, to go, especially with the sales. You have your heart set on this move and so obviously can the Universe. Bet you find your ideal house very soon.<br /><br />So nice to read a very positive post. Bravo to you and yours on all the hard work.local alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-54075757248114884492017-03-13T15:18:16.446+00:002017-03-13T15:18:16.446+00:00We were the same as you - we planned on moving to ...We were the same as you - we planned on moving to the country (we lived on the outskirts of a large Midlands town at the time) when we retired. But then my brother and SiL moved to their dream place in Cornwall, having decided they couldn't wait for retirement. And that prompted us to think, well what exactly was keeping us there? The answer was, nothing. So we did it, 7 or 8 years earlier than anticipated, and it's the best thing we ever did.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
