Struggling right now.
M and E are so sad. We don’t want to move. We don’t want to pack our lives up again and leave wonderful neighbours and good friends and next door’s cat.
It’s hard to stay positive when you’re not in control.
There are no hard feelings towards my landlady. She doesn’t want to sell. So I have no one to grump about or get cross at which in some ways might make this easier. Writing that has kind of surprised me as I didn’t know I was someone who might wish for ‘anger’ to help me deal with stuff. I suppose it’s just that I hate feeling so stressed and helpless.
On a positive note, Miss M can still make me smile with her random moments.
Miss M: ”Mummy, you know when you die and you are all bones?
Me: ”Gulp, yeeeees?”
Miss M: ”Do you still have ears?”

Hopefully it’s fate and there’s an even nicer home waiting for you somewhere.

Sorry to hear that you’re moving Jo have you got something lined up? Or will you be residing at Litchfield? x

Hee hee, Lichfield is on offer if we don’t find anything, but there’s a good chance we will. Gulp.

Sorry to hear about the sudden move. You already know how resilient kids are. As long as they have you and each other, plus the favorite toys and furniture and pillows, they’ll love whatever new home you find within just a matter of days.
I always look at unfortunate circumstances like this as an opportunity for positive change. And that’s always good, right? Positive change even when we didn’t think we needed one!
Best of luck with finding a new place!

Control is one of those things we sometimes have to let go of and hang on for the ride.
Amazing what those little minds come up with.
(Notice, I not only did I end that sentence in one preposition, I ended it with TWO.)

Hee hee, hi Swampy, hope you’re well. You’re right, we’re hanging on for the ride. And yup, they never cease to amaze me.
As for the prepositions, well I am suitable impressed.
