HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a joyful, serene week.
I've read all of your news. I have a lot of important tasks with time deadlines weighing on me right now, and I can't seem to summon much energy to do them. I'll catch up with you all soon.
Take care of yourselves. Those in the U.K., stay cool!
Dibnlib. We were so shocked at 1st, that we said nothing. Then we found that her house was already being advertised - this is all over 3 weeks ago. Her offer on the bungalow was then accepted. A good offer was made for her house. It's all in the hands of solicitors now, so is over apart from the signing. My OH forbade me to remonstrate with his sister, as "It's her decision" -- I was very upset as I thought she needed someone to point out the pitfalls. The bungalow is less value than her house, and will need a lot spending on it. So, once done, no going back - it's beginning to get expensive in the village, as a desirable place away from the built up areas and she will not be able to return to it. She will have spent the money.
It's actually caused some aggravation between my OH and myself, which is unusual - we are harmonious most of the time. (Not always! - we're not saints!) but that fact has upset me, also. I want to tell her that we think she's crazy, before it's too late. He agrees it's crazy but says "She is an adult" and thinks we shouldn't interfere. I'm tired of thinking about it now so am glad to whinge on here and get if off my chest.
Morning all: Still busy catching up but...And thank you Diane.
Lindybird: I'd speak up. Being isolated - without a shop or any services at all - was and still is the one drawback to where my sister and BiL live in Lincolnshire - and they were in a regular village surrounded by lovely countryside they didn't have to leave the house to see..... Now that my sister has gone, my BiL seems open to moving closer to his daughter. Heather may have a point..... Still....
