solution

We had a bit of a problem... we couldn't survive financially if we carried on like we had been. For various reasons, mainly 2 year old ones, fostering has been a bit of a non-starter. We learned lots, mainly that we can cope with just about anything as a couple, no mean learning either. Anyway I need to get a job. This will mean the end to my career as a stay at home mummy, and the end to the dream I have of the possibility of educating said two year old at home. As always, I have a solution, and it has proved so far to be the best thing we could have done. We. Have. Sold. Our. House!!!! Momentous thing to do for us, and our family, but hey, we are going to live less than 2 minutes walk from the sea! same size (ish) house, knock a massive chunk off the mortgage and no debt! wow! didnt think it was possible to do such a thing but here we are doing so. God had a massive part to play in this, it has all happened so easily, we think we have found a church, which is a massive plus. There are so many things I could say about this but don't actually have time at the moment. I hope to document the move here. I am very excited to be doing what I really think is God's will for us, and that we will be able to live within our means. There are compromises to be made (a courtyard garden ... well, postage stamp actually) and no parking which may well drive me mad, however I need to remember the bigger picture. You only stop being a rat when you leave the race. I am hoping that I can really minimise the stuff we take with us *yeah right* but I will try, I would love to be a minimilist but dont think I can actually go that far, however it will be good to have a clear out. It's exciting and scary but only an hour away from where we are now, I think Im still shocked that we can make so many big changes to our lives and still only live an hour away. Watch this space.
